Okay so I'm working on this for a friend. We upgraded from well back on 3.5 VB to the most recent. In doing so his templates seem to exist, but all content (the part you'd see if you hit the edit link) is not showing up at all, despite being there.

I know the templating system changed greatly with the 4.0 framework, but would anybody have an idea to how to fix this? All steps were followed for the upgrade process. At the moment we're working in the default style for VB so that the web template system takes full hold.

It's odd that this upgrade resulted this way while my other site I run is working all fine and dandy with the latest VB and web Templates.

Have you followed the instructions in document "UPGRADE FROM VERSION 3.x.TXT"?

[halkum]

Yep. That's what's odd. Followed them to a 'T'. Overwrite was marked for installing the web templates and query file. So the hundreds of custom made ones in 3.x still exist in full form, just simply are not showing their content, despite it clearly being there.
Example: http://www.thespoils.com/spoils/view.php?pg=tournaments
All content of the template is there (images/side banners), the data that goes in the center white space is there but not showing regardless what's done.

I'm sure I'm missing something but brain dead here.

Absolutely love WebTemplates though. Wish it was in VB from the start

It is a wonderful addon. However i pay all my scripts and addons to be brand free.
Because with all the addons i would have like 50 advertisement lines under my page,
that ain't going to happen. I am willing to use this addon, if i have the option to pay
for a brand free version. But since i can't, i have to uninstall it until a solution comes.
I'll never tolerate any advertisement of any kind at my website,
alltho i'm happy to pay you a fee to thank you for creating the mod,
with the return of a brand free version.
My website has been made for charity for good purpose about different things.

Thank you

Tried a complete re-upgrade attempt with the templates. Still same issue tho as seen on the tournaments link above. He's got around 200+ existing pages done, all of which are doing the same thing. Otherwise I'd start it from scratch.

Anybody have any ideas to what could cause it?

I believe that this page (pg=tournaments) is using a custom webtemplate theme and you probably did not edit this theme to comply with vb4.x template syntax.

Please see which theme this webtemplate is using in edit webtemplate page, and then edit this very theme and make sure its HTML syntax is compatible with vb4.x.

I strongly believe this is the problem but let me know if this is not the case (eg. if this webtemplate is not using a theme)

As a thank you gesture, I provide ALL donators with instructions to remove powered by tagline regardless of the donation amount they made.

Hmm, you could be right. Let me check on that in the morning - I didn't start on this site so haven't a clue what all adjustments were made . I just know it took a LONG time to upgrade them to the current vb4 a few days ago

Thanks! - I'll check back later.

I'm having some issues using this. I installed this for the first time and worked my way through the instructions without problems. When I went to follow the how to create your first one, it said something about headers and footers, this didn't show on my backend. When completed my script it spit out a blank html page. So I just did a plain php script of print 'Hello World.'; and it just spit that out, no other forum elements or anything, it looks as if my vB stuff is getting lost somewhere. Heres the page of hello world: http://www.tns-gaming.com/forum/view.php?pg=expenses

Any thoughts?

No where in my template/page creation is the header and footer stuff.

It is ok, 4.x version does not have a special header/footer section, it automatically inherits the active style's header footer for WTs.

Ok, one thing I didn't take into account for is vB's CMS. The guy that holds our vB licence wants to use it for another project, we are purchasing our own now. Would testing this on a Suite vB cause errors?
