Click here to see the profile of this user 		How to edit a mambot? - 2008/01/16 19:58 I posted this to Joomla's forum, but nobody's answering. I hope you don't mind that I'm posting it here too:

I've just installed the search mambot for JEvents and it's working good. However, I wanted to tweak it a little bit, so I went to this file /mambots/search/events.searchbot.php.

However, whatever changes I make in that file do not take place. I even put in some faulty PHP code to see if it'll break it but when I type in the search term it still works perfectly, even pulling up events like the mambot is supposed to. So I suspect maybe the code lives somewhere else after I install the mambot. If so, where is it? I really want to tweak it a little, and it's frustrating that it's not right there even though I can see the code.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:How to edit a mambot? - 2008/01/31 14:38 I'm trying to mess with the SQL query and how it does the searching. But that's not the problem, the problem is that when I change that file, nothing happens. Even if I write faulty PHP code in there, there is no error. Or I can write "echo 'hello';" and it won't output that either. So I'm really not sure what to do or how to get my changes to take effect... I clear my local cache too, and it still doesn't work... Could it be because of the server machine's cache?

Pardon me for asking the obvious:

Are you sure you are in the correct installation of your Website? Do you have multiple installs?

After you edit the file? Do you receive a confirmation that the file was saved? Better yet, when you return to edit are the changes that you made there?

Check the rights on your file, are they "rw-r--r--" (Unix).

Caching would not matter if the changes never take place when you execute the query say a day later.

Finally, I have a test install of Joomla to train staff, I'd be very happy to take your altered file and use it on this test server for you to assist you.

Regards
Bob Rynkiewicz
