MDS BLOG

I haven’t worked with PHPBB for sometime now and recently i had to install and customise a phpbb forum for a client of mine who is trying to expand his site. remember there was an article in this blog on cache problem in phpbb. This can be found here. Well another thing  i would like you to take note of is the fact that after editing your work and purging the cache from the phpbb admin, you may still be having the problem of seeing the new changes and especially after editing CSS files .

SOLUTION: After editing your file and purging the cached page from the admin, if you still cannot see your changes, you may consider clicking on the Styles menu at the top > and then when it opens look in the left panel and click on themes > then you will see a list of the templates and the one you are using. > Click on”Refresh link” next to it and then go to board index again.

Refresh your page again and the changes should be made by now. If you are still having problems, delete your browsing history from your browser, refresh your page and you should be okay.

When a new template had been uploaded to joomla admin and set as a default, when you try to view the new template, it produces a blank page with “Restricted Access” written on it.  I know this can be a pain as you would be  lost on what the issue and the solution is.

Cause of Problem: This means that you were using a template built for the older version of joomla.

Solution: In this case you would have to log into your joomla admin panel, Go to Extensions on the top menu > Go to Plugin Manager > and then when the list of plugins open up. Look for this plugin “SYSTEM-LEGACY”. Just enable this plugin and then refresh your front page. i think you should be okay then.

Hope this helps!
