What happened to the CVS relases???

[Virtuality]

The .tpl files has been changed to .html files which is impossible since they are trying to to do includes in these files.
Who is the fool that belives you can have includes in html? :-p Rofl...

I hope they fix this soon

This change was made, I believe, by popular request, by users who for whom the .tpl extension could cause problems or confuse people into thinking the file isn't just HTML. The files are, however, plain HTML along with a few HTML comments, which are interpreted by the phpBB template engine as commands.

Look here, this is a sample from the index_body.html in templates/subSilver:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">
	<tr>
		<td width="100%" align="left" valign="bottom"><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
			<tr>
				<td align="left" valign="bottom"><span class="gensmall">{TOTAL_POSTS}<br />{TOTAL_USERS}<br />{NEWEST_USER}</span><br /><br /><a class="nav"  href="{U_INDEX}">{L_INDEX}</a></td>
				<td class="gensmall" align="right" valign="top"><!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><a href="{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a><br /><a href="{U_SEARCH_SELF}">{L_SEARCH_SELF}</a><br /><!-- ENDIF --><a href="{U_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}">{L_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}</a></td>
			</tr>
		</table></td>
	</tr>
</table>

<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="0">
	<tr>
		<th colspan="2" height="25" nowrap="nowrap"> {L_FORUM} </th>
		<th width="50" nowrap="nowrap"> {L_TOPICS} </th>

Forgot:
If you watch the main page, there is no design and no header and no footer.

[Aexoden]

Everything in what you've pasted is perfectly fine HTML. <!-- BLAH --> is an HTML comment, so those are fine, and if you look on the index, you do see the header, with is the silver bar with the links at the top of the page. If you're saying something else, I'm missing the point.

With the 20th April relase of the CVS it just looks like that.
But with the 18th and below it works perfectly fine!

[Aexoden]

That looks like the CSS data is missing for whatever reason. I don't know exactly how CSS is setup at the moment, so I can't say much more. Anyway, the .tpl files were renamed to .html months ago, so that doesn't seem to have much to do with it.

[Virtuality]

But you see that there is no header right?
And try download the 18th relase of it, it is tpl files there!

It's nothing to do with our use of .html ... as with all alpha software things change and they aren't documented. This is why we discourage the use of CVS by anyone who is unfamiliar with PHP or their database ... because changes to code sometimes require users to carry out various actions they may not have needed to do previously.

Empty your cache/template/subSilver directory ... and visit the index again.

[Virtuality]

Thats correct, I am not so familiar with php, I know the basics but...
Well I just wanted to look at the design and stuff.

There is no such directory!
There is a cache, and inside that files with session ids it looks like, and a global.php, then a CVS directory.
