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

[Pat Lockley]

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
