Hi - well I haven't been here for a while, and whoa the forums have changed, so I don't know where to post things anywhere, but the search worked, which did impress me, even though it didn't answer my questions.
I downloaded and installed a build of CE 5.2.1 on a url.
I then created a mini page of how I wanted a blank template to be and exported it.
I then went to the site wizard to test it and used the 'replace' method to replace what I had and the end result was
>> No Admin Tabs and no access what soever to them.
>> A page called home_old
>> Portal no longer useable
To get around this I had to create another child portal, eg.. url.com/portal method and go into the portal and add in the alias I used for the initial Portal 0 build.
I have never seen this before, but it rendered the portal absolutely useless. None of the tabs worked - well there were none except host tabs, no admin tabs, nothing.
The only thing I did that was different was delete the default portal template from the root directory and overwrite it since I wanted to apply to our master builds and we had our own set information we wanted displayed. Could the fact I used the default name have anything to do with it? I didn't think it would as we've worked with portal templates extensively.
Thanks - any suggestions would be appreciated - but it does make me wonder if something is amiss based on another thread in which someone lost their host settings when deleting a portal?
Thanks - and happy 2010 to one and all.
