Customizing Display->Views

Hi,

You should see your changes once you saved them. If not, it means that there is a problem somewhere. It often comes from permission issues on the folder templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html or its subfolders.

Does the file in the override folder of the template have something in it (the modified code ? the original ? nothing ?) ?
You could of course directly modify the file int he override folder via FTP but it should work via the interface...

As I said in my previous message, you can do your modifications directly the file in the OVERRIDE folder via FTP, and not directly in the original files.
That way you don't loose your modifications when you update.

You actually don't need the interface to use the override system. We made it just to simplify the edition for people you don't know how the override system works, that's all.

What version of joomla are you using ? If you ahve the code mirror editor published on your website, could you try to unpublish it and see if that solves the problem ?

The changes are not merged. It's not technically possible to merge file changes.
The system will continue to use your modified version while the original will be updated.
We always try to keep backward compatibility so that you don't get errors when updating, however, if new functionalities are added to the views, you won't be able to use them with your modified version.
