After upgrading B2 from .6pre to 0.6.1, I been experiencing this problem: when I try and update my template, it says that the file has been edited, but when I visit the website, it hasn't. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Just force the refresh. That's a bug in MSIE, it seems...

.6 pre never had this problem, but with .6.1, I have to do a forced refresh just to see anything updated. Sad

Sorry for a newb-like reply, but what would you consider a 'forced refresh'?

OK, let's see if this fixes your problem:

Open blog.header.php, look for these lines:
[php:1:ed7ebcb4bf]@header ("Last-Modified: $last_modified_header");
@header ('ETag: "'.md5($last_modified_header.$pagenow).'"');[/php:1:ed7ebcb4bf]
Replace them with these lines:
[php:1:ed7ebcb4bf]if (!$is_winIE) {
@header ("Last-Modified: $last_modified_header");
@header ('ETag: "'.md5($last_modified_header.$pagenow).'"');
}[/php:1:ed7ebcb4bf]
Next, look if you can refresh in MSIE.

Michel,
I don't think this is correct. Firstly I use Mozilla and it is showing the same problem.
The problem being that the last_modified date is defined by
$last_modified_header = mysql2date('D, d M Y H:i:s', get_lastpostdate());

This doesn't take into account comments, ping backs, trackbacks, external sources (eg recently updated b2 blogs), or modification to the template(s).

I don't think there is a sensible/quick way to determine the last 'modified' date for the index page.
I'm going to remove it from my code.
Sorry, Sad

Mike

Uhm, maybe I should just generate it only for RSS templates then.
It's weird, because on Opera and Mozilla it refreshes fine here...

These headers should work in IE:

Just a reminder that this code isn't currently in the zip file downloadable from SF. BTW the new filter function is awesome. Would you like me to write a little explanation for the smart quotes stuff for the documentation?

sorry for asking, but finally what turns out we have to do to fix this annoying problem for IE users?

you could also go into the Tools>Internet Options menu and click the settings button undearneath temporary internet files. change "check for newer versions of the page" to "everytime you visit the page."

sure, it sucks for dialup users but ehh...
