[Xerte] Re: XOT "Upload a new Template" button not working

[Julian Tenney]

Yeah, I would add it to your modules/xerte/parent_templates xwd file, and then put the model in models, any common in /common and effectively modify the main template rather than creating a new template just for one more model.

Hello,

I would guess that the code behind that button works with the old model format, but not the new one.

If you ftp to modules/xerte - you can add the model by putting the files into that

then you need to edit the originaltemplatedetails table in the database
