template overrides not working for translations

Hello,

I'm a developer working on a ez publish website previously created by another developer. I'm relatively new to EZ Publish but I found my way around overriding templates, creating new classes, translating content.

However, the new template overrides seem to only work in the default site language. When I click the English or Spanish version it does not fetch the same template overrides and uses the old overrides instead.

How can I fix this? :( Thank you in advance for your help..!

Cristina,

Are the override rules for the new templates in the siteaccess for the default site language? Be sure they are accessible for the English and Spanish siteaccesses as well. And of course clear the cache.

Oh, I didn't know there were siteaccess rules for each language, I shall look for those files then.

I've heard a lot about clearing cache, which is the best way? Should I just delete those files that end with a "~" ?

I apologize in advance if my questions are so basic, but I wasn't the developer behind the system and there were many concepts I only grasped at a glimpse...

Thank you in advance for your kind response!

Cristina,

You can clear the cache by:

  • In the admin interface, when logged in as admin, clicking setup and then clear all (or use the shortcut from the right column)
  • From the command line in the root eZ Publish director, running $php bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all --purge
  • If for some reason those don't work, delete the content of var/cache and var/SITEACCESS_VAR_DIR/cache

In practice, using the first option should take care of it. Note that if you're in a production environment on a server that's getting hit hard, clearing all caches is risky, because the work of generating all caches at once may be too much for the server. In this case clear caches of only the page you need (in admin, navigate to the object and click the icon next to its name; then delete view cache). or the type you need (ini cache, template block cache, etc.
