Strange widget behavior

Vote 0 Votes

Hi,
in my site i created a custom widget (basicaly a widget that dispaly an image and link it to a site internal page).
I use a thin-wide-thin layout for the homepage, a thin-wide-thin layout for blog page and a wide-thin-thin layout for archives page.
Now the problem is that when i check the homepage and the archive page the widget dyspaly correctly, when i check the blog page the widget dispaly an older version of it.

I tried to refresh, republish and remove cache from my browser. I even check this an a new computer but the problem persists

What could it be?

Thanks
Nico

  • What template set are you using, and what're the URLs for the problem page(s)?

    I'm using the "Professional Black" template.
    The url are:

    1) www.dottorini.com (here you can see in the right sidebar the first widget "IMMAGINI RECENTI)

    2) www.dottorini.com/blog (here you can see the same widget but with different content)

    That's very strange.
    Thanks for your time

  • Oh my god, now i notice that all my /blog page is not refreshing.
    I tried to rebuild the site but nothing happens. The new etries are not shown in /blog page :(

  • Check the publish options under the blog index's template options. Also, check the archive mappings of the archive templates to make sure that they're still going to where you expect them.

  • Hi Mike,
    In Main Index templte i have: Publishing [Statically (default)]
    And the mappings seems allright.
    But my blog index page (www.dottorini.com/blog/index.html) didn't update

    :(

  • Try deleting the published file from your server and see if republishing it regenerates it.

  • I deleted it (but firs saved it a copy) and then republished the site but it didn't regenerates
    :(

    What can i do ?

  • Post some screenshots of your Design->Templates view and the template editor/options for that index template.

  • Here you can view the 2 screenshots:

  • Did you delete the "Blog Index" template from the CMS as well as from the server file system? It's not present in your listing of templates.

  • No, i didn't delete from template. I deleted (but saved first) only the file in the /blog directory.
    If i saw the propreties of the blog/index.html file that i saved it said that last modify was on wed at 6.12pm.

    But i didn't delete the Template. How can i rebuild it?
    Thanks a lot

  • I created a new blog index template, and in Preview it display correctly.
    But when i push Publish it gives me the following error:

    Error making path '/blog': mkdir /blog: Permission denied

    What is ?
    Thanks

  • Error making path '/blog': mkdir /blog: Permission denied

    It means that you don't have permission on the server's file system to create the blog directory there. Is the directory that corresponds to / on your site writeable by MT?

  • Hi Mike,
    thanks a lot. It was my foult. The real path is no "/" but is more compelex address. I used it and now it works great.
    Thanks

    Nico

  • Hi Nico,

    Yes, the path where movable type is publishing is not "/" but something more complex which varies from server to server depending on setup.

    You could always discover the right path to your site root by using phpinfo.

    Cheers,
    Mihai

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
