UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Updating public_forum_page.pl and public_topic_page.pl

Hi, my client is running UBB.classic 6.7.3. I inherited this production site so I'm getting up to speed ASAP.

A user noticed a typo in the header of the topics pages. I tried every page I could in the admin UI but couldn't find the offending HTML fragment. I turned to grep and found the fragment in both Templates/public_forum_page.pl and Templates/public_topic_page.pl. I vi'd the 2 and nuked the typo(s), however I don't see a change in the pages yet.

1) Is there a way to edit the templates via the admin web ui and I basically missed it? The account I logged in with has this line:
AdminWrite&
in the profile so I'm assuming I have the UBB equivalent of "root" privileges.

2) If I am supposed to manually edit Templates, how do I force an update after editing these PERL scripts?

I've noticed that UBB generates a ton of *.cgi files that seem to take their cue from the Templates, but I'm hoping UBB doesn't just leave the cgi alone so that updates only make themselves known in future posts.

Thanks in advance for any feedback. It's greatly appreciated.

If you have changed those, you need to login to the CP and Clear the Cache. That should show the update.
