Not answered Uploading Master Pages via FTP

Hello,

We are currently using SiteFinity 3.7 and have recently come across a problem when trying to update a template via the Administration tool. A JavaScript error is returned when trying to publish the page, so to test I removed some of the external js files that we are using from the Master Page in question and re-uploaded it via FTP to see if it solves the error. However, when I then go back into the Administration, the page does not seem to have updated, and the reference to the js files are still there (even though I have overwritten the file via FTP).

Can you please provide any advice on what I may be doing wrong? I am happy to provide you with a login to the SiteFinity admin, as well as a link to the FTP server if required.

Kind regards,

Ravi

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for your prompt reply. To restart the application, I made a change to the web config file, resaved it, and the logged back into the Administration tool. Unfortunately, the same code still seemed to be there. Am I missing a step in the process? The page that is being edited is locked in SiteFinity, and I wonder whether this is causing the problem? If I override a page via FTP, shouldn't the changes be reflected automatically in the pages in the Administration tool?

Kind regards,

Ravi

Hello Ivan,

I was able to update the Master file without our included JavaScript files, but there is still an error when trying to save a page with a particular template. We have a tried a lot of different avenues, but can't seem to locate what the problem is. Are you able to login and have a look at our Sitefinity setup if I provide you with login details? I am happy to organise for us to pay you for support time if this is required, as we need to get things working ASAP.

Kind regards,

Ravi

Thanks Ivan, I thought that it would have to do with something in the JavaScript that is being included. I will be looking at changing it to try and resolve the problem, but this is what is on the templates pages that may be causing the error. You may have come across something like this before?

sfHover = function() {

    var sfEls = document.getElementById("top_nav").getElementsByTagName("li");

    for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {

        sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {

            this.className+=" hover";

        }

        sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {

            this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" hover\\b"), "");

        }

    }

}

if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

Thanks for the time you've spent trying to help me resolve the problem.
