Incorrected code was saved but not published, can I get the version that is being used now?

Vote 0 Votes

An individual entry template was pasted over with the wrong code. It has not been published. Is there anyway to get the published template the code that sits there now was saved. Am I stuck with it? There is no backup.

Thanks!

  • one more thing - this was done 4 days ago, the auto-recover no longer seems to go back that far.

  • Hi Sali,

    There is no template history on movable type v4.x.

    This concept that keeps revisions of templates so that you could get back to a previous version if you need to has been introduced from movable type v5.x.

    The only thing you could do is to either grab that template from a backup of the database if you have one or to reconstruct the template based on an entry sample.

    If the template is not published yet, you could immediately make a copy of a generated entry page and then start reconstructing the template.

    I'm available for consultancy on that, if you need help.

    Kind Regards,
    Mihai Bocsaru

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