How to update the Buildr Template

heather-king

Hi,

I just wondered if you can confirm how to update to the latest release of the Buildr template please. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to overwrite any of the work that I have done so far.

Many thanks in advance

HI,

I've followed the steps outlined in the forum link you provided above. When I try to save my site's layout it changes to something other than what I have configured. I am having no success in updating to the current template. If you could help, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much - Doug

Hi, when I have tried to update the Buildr Template I can no longer see the module positions in the design view. Do you know why this is and how is can be resolved pleased?

Many Thanks

heather-king when I have tried to update the Buildr Template I can no longer see the module positions in the design view.

Kindly try to re-upload the specific file i.e.\templates\buildr\settings\positions.json from default template folder (unzipped) ensuring that the specific folder along with files are set to writable (Chmod 777 or 755)

Would suggest to also take backup of your current file before performing aforesaid steps, in case rollback required whilst facing any issues e.t.c

If the relative issue still persists, Can you add your admin and ftp details in edit fields in order for us to take closer look.

For reference, You can follow thread post (5 point) procedure.

aman204 Hi, thank you for your reply, I have tried to do this but unfortunately I'm still not having any joy. If you could take a look I would really appreciate it. I have updated the details with everything you need hopefully.
Many thanks.

heather-king Kindly try and update to latest version of Zengrid framework as you seem to have quite older version installed
