    Words of caution on WebAdmin and Themes...

    I decided to try and build the web admin to see some examples...

    When I code genned, it had the unintended consequence of replacing my default.css and web.sitemap, which I had spent a day refining to fit a specific style I wanted.

    So,  Words of caution:  DO NOT RUN A WEB ADMIN GEN IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SITE STYLE AND SITEMAP. 

    IMO, when I regenerate, It shouldn't replace ANY files at all unless I specifically set an option to allow it to. 

     

    I'm outside ur box, shiftin' ur paradigm.

    Smile  And the moral of the story is backup backup and backup some more before you decide to generate over an existing site!

     Sorry could not resist!

    Hey, to be fair, I've been genning over and over again without problems...

    How was I supposed to know that generating the WebAdmin would replace my theme and Web.Sitemap?

    You're right, though.... I should be backing up frequently! Embarrassed
