Hey

If you had designed a page using site builder and then wanted to do it via the template method, even after deleting all the widgets and panels, the page is still not available for the template to use.

Even after clearing all panels from the system, disabling site builder modules and clearing cache the page you have just added a template for will give you a 404 error.

So how do you reclaim the urls to be used for template files?

Thanks

Gary

Just to be sure I understand:

- you had a page URL built with sitebuilder (i.e. yoursite.com/apples)

- you disabled site builder modules and created a template at that page (i.e. skins/yourskin/apples.tpl)

- even with all the site builder modules disabled you are getting a 404 when going to yoursite.com/apples

Does that sound right?

Thanks!

Just wondering- did you create the page using the Site Builder Menu at the top of the page?
I have had weird stuff happen to pages when I remove them from that menu or disable it.
Also can you go into the datastore- copy the html code for the page then delete the page in the datastore and start over?
Just wondering because I have had to do similar...

did you spell it right? because that shouldn't happen. Check that there aren't any profiles called that name, and that there are no template over-rides in the TEMPLATE section of the ACP.
