Changes in php files do not appear in local site

Sigal · October 2012

Hello,

Since yesterday I have a very strange behavior on a local site I am having.

I make changes in php view file but when browsing the site the changes don't appear.

And it happens only in some of the files.

For example, in a simple about us file, I add a word, refresh the page in the browser, the word I have added is not there.

Another example, my header file was calling another view for the menu:


$this->load->view('_blocks/topnav');

//The topnav view:
<div id="nav">
  <div id="menu">
    <ul>
      <?php
         if($page_title == "Home"):
	  echo '<li class="selected"><a href="#" class="home">Home</a></li>';
	 else:
	  echo '<li><a href="' . site_url() . 'home" id="home" class="home">Home</a></li>';
	 endif;
	
	 if($page_title == "About Us"):
	  echo '<li class="selected"><a href="#" class="about">About Us</a></li>';
	 else:
	  echo '<li><a href="' . site_url() . 'aboutus" class="about">About Us</a></li>';
	  endif;
	?>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

I changed it to call the fuelnav like this:


echo fuel_nav(array('container_tag_id' => 'menu', 'item_id_prefix' => 'menu_'));

Refreshing the page in the browser, all the menu style disappeared but the ul didn't get the id menu and the div tags are still in the html:


<div class="menu">
  	<ul>
    <li><a href="http://localhost/highlandfuel/main">Home</a></li><li class="sep">|</li><li><a href="http://localhost/highlandfuel/main/about">About Us</a></li><li class="sep">|</li><li><a href="http://localhost/highlandfuel/main/ourcoffees">Our Coffees</a></li><li class="sep">|</li><li><a href="http://localhost/highlandfuel/orderonline">Order Online</a></li><li class="sep">|</li><li><a href="http://localhost/highlandfuel/main/gallery">Gallery</a></li><li class="sep">|</li><li><a href="http://localhost/highlandfuel/contact">Contact Us</a></li>				</ul>

The closing tag for the div class="menu" is gone, and although I included only home and aboutus in the nav file I still see all the menu items.

I never saw something like this.

Other files in the site do get updated with changes that I make.

For example, if I add a word in the contact us page, or in the home page and refresh, I see these changes.

Any idea what is going on???

Could it be a file corruption maybe?

Another thing, I have cleared the cache of the browser, and I have changed the name of the aboutus.php file to aboutusold.php. Yet, calling about us from the browser still gives me the about us page.

What the....?

Am I losing my mind?

I changed the whole site folder name, now when I browse, I get the file not found error, so I am defiantly working on the right folder.

Did you clear the cache in the CMS? Those files are stored in the fuel/application/cache folder.

Hi, yes I did.

admin · October 2012

Are you logged into FUEL when you are reviewing those changes (being logged in will always bypass the cache)? Have you tried it in different browsers too?

I tried logged in and logged out. And I tried firefox, chrome and ie.

The home page on ie displays the old nav, that's the only difference, which is still a mistery, between them all.

I also unistalled Firefox and reinstalled it.

I went and drank coffee, went to sleep, woke up.... same thing lol

OH MY GOD !!!!

I am such a fool !!!!

I worked on this site a while ago, and now came back to it and totally forgot I put some of the pages in the admin. So now, I updated them in the code, and of course, the updates did not display since I didn't update in the admin panel..... Updating the about us in the admin panel works...... oh dear.... oh dear...

Howdy, Stranger!
