Cannot change template

[moomo]

When I select a template in Tools->Template Selection->Edit it redirects me to the index but the template does not change whatsoever.

I tried with 2 templates to make sure it was not a template error. The templates I used were ZJ Black 2 and Template 241 at http://(sorry, site offline)/templates.html

STEPS

- Installed Zen Cart version 1.3.8a (uninstalled it and installed it again due to the same problem)

- Installed Spanish language pack for front end and admin

- Installed the following html_output patch due to an error in the admin area when trying to select templates: Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string

I need your help.



ZenCart Version 1.3.8a

I just realized, it doesn't let me change anything at all.

I tried to use the Layout Boxes Controller and when I click on update it redirects me to the admin index but changes nothing.

I reuploaded the original html_output.php files and that does not fix the problem

I reinstalled Zen Cart for the third time and it works fine before I install the Spanish language pack or upload the new html_output.php files.

I will be installing those again to see where the problem was coming from.

Did you happen to figure out the problem? I've also installed Zen Cart 1.3.8a (in a subdirectory of the root) and it also redirects me to the admin index when I add a new language and change the template. Then when I check back, the language was never added nor template changed.

I had the same problem and what worked for me was this thread -
post number 23.
(Thanks Website Rob! )

Basically what I did was follow what that thread said which is:

1) Downloaded the html_output_admin.zip and extracted html_output.php file
2) Opened the file and added the additional lines (highlighted in green) in the correct place:

// Output a form
function zen_draw_form($name, $action, $parameters = '', $method = 'post', $params = '', $usessl = 'false') {
$form = '<form name="' . zen_output_string($name) . '" action="';
if (zen_not_null($parameters)) {
if ($usessl) {
$form .= zen_href_link($action, $parameters, 'NONSSL');
} else {
$form .= zen_href_link($action, $parameters, 'NONSSL');
}
} else {
if ($usessl) {
$form .= zen_href_link($action, '', 'NONSSL');
} else {
$form .= zen_href_link($action, '', 'NONSSL');
}
}
$form .= '" method="' . zen_output_string($method) . '"';
if (zen_not_null($params)) {
$form .= ' ' . $params;
}
$form .= '>';

/** BOF Security Patch v138 20090619 **/
$form .= '<input type="hidden" name="securityToken" value="' . $_SESSION['securityToken'] . '" />';
/** EOF Security Patch v138 20090619 **/

return $form;
}


3) Saved the file and overwrote the existing html_output.php file in admin/includes/functions

Worked for me so far so hope it works for you!
