Kris, The templateconfig.php file is obsolete in TNG 12.3 after you have run the database update step when upgrading. The Template Settings are now in the tng_templates table, so unless you did not run the database update on your hosting site and did not get all the correct TNG scripts to your site, you should not be getting a syntax error in that file, except potentially during the database update step that converts the templateconfig.php file to database table entries.

Krisamd 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2020 Thanks I understand while upgrading to 12.3, the templateconfig.php got converted to template file in database. If I prepare new home page, how to I delete the old table and create a new table in database. Do I need to edit the template/index.php ? Thanks Kris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Roy 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2020 If your new home page is working correctly on your local computer, the easiest solution would be to backup your database on your local computer using Admin > Utilities and then FTP the bak files from your backup folder as defined in TNG Admin > Setup > General Settings to your host and restore them there. You might also want to rename your existing backups folder on the host and create a new one using the Make Folder button in the General Settings Paths and Folders section.

Krisamd 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2020 All the SQL Tables get updated based on the date updated in TNG. But how do I update the home page if the templateconfig.php is no longer active? Kris I also wonder if there is any mode for drop down date function instead of our entering the date function manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Roy 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2020 Kris, The Home page is updated using the Admin > Setup > Template Settings dialog. You could also install Bill Herndon's Template Manager mod which will allow you to Save the entries from the database on one site to a _templateconfig.php file that you can then use to reload the changes to a different site, localhost to production for example. You would of course need to update the Setup > Template Settings in one location to be able to Save, FTP the _templateconfig.php from the templates\templateN folder to your other site before you can Load it in the other site. Note that the _templateconfig.php file is save in the specific templateN folder and that the entries are slightly different that what TNG used (I think the t is missing in the variable) Once you have the Template Manager on both sites, it might be possible to take your old TNG templateconfig.php file and rename it to _templateconfig.php and put it in the appropriate templates/template folder. You would have to edit it to match the mod variable requirements. Note that I have not attempted this last approach but have used the first approach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
