Footer information in Layout.master is not updating on a subsite

Hello all, 

I am having problems with the layout.master on a subsite I have created within our development environment. We are using the folder method to create subsites. 

I modified the footer section in the layout.master to include an address and company slogan on the subsite in question, and it is not updating. It is updating properly on the main site. 

The skin applied to the site is a custom skin built with Artisteer. It is the same skin as the one on the main site. 

I have restarted IIS, cleared my browsers cache and disabled web caching in mojo. 

On a possibly related note, I changed the favicon and some colors in the menu in style.css, and they are not updating either. 

Does anyone know what could be causing this? 

 

Environment:

OS = Windows Server 2008 R2

DB = SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Ed. 

Mojo Version = 2.3.6.5

Expected results = as above

Re: Footer information in Layout.master is not updating on a subsite

This is not a bug in mojoportal, this question would have been better posted in the Design and Skinning forum.

Sounds like you are not updating the correct file for the child site. Skins used by the site are located under /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins so skins are isolated for each site.

Note also that if you make a mistake in editing the layout.master it can cause an error and fail to load your master page in which case it will log the error and load a failsafe master page. So if you think you are editing the correct file you should also check the log under Administration > System Log to see if it is logging any errors related to your master page.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Thanks Joe, 

I followed your suggestion and was on the wrong site ID.
