Help recovering a column on the site please

Recommended Posts

On the right hand side of my site, there used to be a top ten products/most popular products area that would show case my products in a small column. For some reason, it is no longer there (I did do some recovering and made some changes to install, and get rid of some contributions). Does anyone know how I could get it back? It's hard to explain, and if anyone wants to see the site I can pm the url.

Well, somewhere here you "disappeared" the column, you need to remember what you did. Do you have backup's of each step?

No I do not, that is the thing. I am not sure where it would have been stored for me to now recover it from my backups, and that is the problem.

Adrien,

 

Backups are MANUALLY created by the user (YOU). So if you didn't make a back up of the file you were editing, then that original file..........is now lost. So you can do one of two things:

 

1) Upload the original column_right.php file and regain most of the features.

 

2) Work with the existing code to correct the error.

ps.......There is only ONE THING you MUST remember when editing files................BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP !!!

Yes I know, I created a full site backup a little while back. So just replacing that file under the admin should fix my issues?

 

Thanks I'll try it out

That depends on

 

1) how old your backup is (is it made before or after the changes?)

2) What other changes you did that might not work with the restored column right.php

 

If you are not very far in the customazation process, then maybe you restore your complete backup and start again. Remember to dublicate each file BEFORE altering it and to keep backups of each step of the process.
