    I Have a template variable in the grey box in the front page.

    This was set to richtext and the default value @ DOCUMENT 44

    Document 44 used a blank template and contained an image and some text.

    After updating the image in this document, the TV no longer shows.

    I have tired logging out and back in. Tried chaning the name of the TV etc.. but to no avail.

    I have tired linking the template to another document but for some reason it is not working. Even if i change @ DOCUMENT 5 (for example), when refreshing the page the index still shows @ DOCUMENT 44 in the grey box.

    Any ideas?

      Try changing the TV from RTE to textarea. Not sure this will help but worth trying wink

        No luck i’m afraid. I’ve got no idea. It was all fine, i added an image, and that was it, it broke. I have since removed the image to no avail. Meant to be proofing later today

          Try turning off the cache for the document you are importing?

          To get around that use the getField snippet rather than the TV to get the content. This will allow you to proof today and buy time to work out the @DOCUMENT problem.

              What version of MODx?

              using the latest version from the website.

              Its not a problem now, I just created a new TV and deleted the old one. This worked provided the names were different. Next time i edit the site, which will be very infreaquently, I will do the same.

              Thanks
