default template issue after upgrade

Hello

I modified default template to have a custom one following tutorial years ago

today, I save my web, upgraded to latest flexicontent, get back the folder components/com_flexicontent/templates from my backup and no way, I don't have in my template category layout from backend the groups to display my fields. I cleared cache (joomla + browser). nothing.

From category.xml :
<fieldgroups>
<group>table</group>
<group>renderonly</group>
<group>type_product</group>
<group>country</group>
<group>notes</group>
<group>legal_protection</group>
<group>nat_legislation</group>
<group>ext_link</group>
<group>attachment</group>
</fieldgroups>

in backend vew :

only table and renderonly

Joomla version : Joomla! 2.5.28
flexicontent version : version 2.2.1 rc (previous was version 2.2.0 r1910)

Did I miss something to get back my layout ?

Hello

please make sure you have no suntax error in the XML

test by replacing the XML with 1 of the default templates

does it work ?

it cannot be, I just put the template folder that I saved previously.

So it was perfectly working before. no change done since then except the flexicontent upgrade

Hello

v2.2.1 uses J2.5+ way of parsing the XML files, which in turns use

PHP simpleXmlElement


-- propably, there is some that the new parser does not like


-- what you can do is replace your XML file with a good one, and 1 by 1 add things to it until it breaks, this way you can find what is wrong

ok here is what I did :

I deleted the default template folder
re installed flexicontent to have a fresh one.
copy the default template folder via backend (using copy function) and renamed as "database"
adding just one line into category.xml into database new template :
<group>type_product</group>
and no change. category layout is still the same. My new zone is not here.

Hello

did you clean cache in both frontend and backend side ?
