Here is the Infopop Support Forum thread that started this idea.
http://community.infopop.net/2/Open...313&m=4193079547&r=8283052647#8283052647 In a nutshell, my manually edited vars_graemlins.cgi file now reverts to the default when I save the “General” page in the 6.6 Control Panel. This is because saving this page saves all the tabs at once, including the Graemlins tab. Since my customizations can’t be normally entered on this tab, it thinks the file is corrupt as is forcibly tries to save it and overwrites with a default vars_graemlins.cgi file.
Since I don’t want to have to fire up FTP and re-upload my vars file each time I make a change to the “General” page in CP, I need to find the best way around this.
Should I just remove the Graemlins tab from the General page? Would this prevent the Graemlins from being saved and reverting? I haven’t tried removing write permissions on the file, but I have a feeling that might have other repercussions. Is there a better way I can surgically stop the reverting of the vars_graemlins.cgi file whenever it detects an “error”?
