    Default Using a text editor instead of Define Pages Editor

    Hi
    The Define Pages Editor works fine in my set up, but i would much rather edit the code locally then ftp it.
    When i edit my define_main_page.php file it seems to upload and update fine without errors but the changes have no effect.
    Please Help

    Are you uploading it to the correct folder (i.e. your custom template folder) and are the permissions set to writable?

    Many FTP programs don't notify you if a file can't be overwritten.

    Another possibility: are you changing includes/languages/english/html_includes/<filename> when includes/languages/english/html_includes/<your template>/<filename> exists? If so, you must change the latter.

    Thanks guys but i'm pretty sure its the correct file and folder.

    \includes\languages\english\html_includes\template\define_main_page.php

    And it seems to update i.e. if i cange it then view it in the remote folder with ftp it has the correct newly modified date.

    Its as if the Define Pages Editor is working with a different file & my changes with the text editor are irrelevant.
