[Pages] Editing database templates

[ExoTech]

I edited some database templates. How can I revert those two templates to default?

 

And other thing. I compared default template with edited. In most cases i cannot see original template. Is that some bug?

Just above the image there, you should have a revert button. if not, please upload a fresh set of files from your client area, then try that again

I dont have any Revet button, only Delete. I have two boards, other has it, but not this one.

What files have to I upload?

[Marc Stridgen]

I would suggest uploading all files

[ExoTech]

Well, I uploaded all files, but did not help 😕

We would need to look further into this for you, however the access details on file appear to be incorrect or missing. Could you please update these details by visiting your client area, selecting the relevant purchase, then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. 

We look forward to further assisting you.

This function is unfortunately flawed in Invision Community 4.x. You should never touch the original templates and instead create a custom version first. Of course that is of little help if you already changed the stock templates. It really needs a revert button. Maybe in 5.x?

I can set up access for you, but our admin is behind VPN. I have to forward it to our technicians how to give you access.

I edited Pages templates, I am not sure, if there is option to create custom version.

I have two independent boards on two different servers. The same version (well, one is 4.7.13) but different options:

 

One (untouched template has inactive (logically) Revert button:

 

But second (some templates were edited, but there is option only Delete not Revert):

 

Before any editing I backed up all changes (and of course I can copy the original code from the first forum, but I would still like to know what the problem is that practically two identical forums have different options).

It actually should have. Are there specific scenarios in which you are coming across this?

It’s on your screenshot. You click the ‘New button’ under the stock templates and then choose a type.

Here is an older topic where I reported these problems: 
https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/465169-pages-templates-“revert”-button/

The labelling of the buttons is now better, but there is still no way to revert Pages templates like theme templates.

Ah yes, thanks, I can try this way.

Yes, I think we are talking about the same issue. We need Revert, not Delete.
