Thanks for your time and your support in advance.

yes, the problem is that you didn’t update all files properly.

Thanks for pointing into the right direction. It was not only this file which was not updated properly.

Until now my combination of git and Github Desktop worked reliable - at least in my understanding. Now I had to discover that not all files were pulled from the TTRSS repo which became visible for me in the templates folder. A few of the newer files were completely missing …

So I removed incomplete repo from git, cloned it again, created my own branch (just for the mail templates) and uploaded it with a syncing FTP client again to the shared hoster. Bingo, works again like a charm! :slight_smile: So, thank you!

Question is, why git (or Github Desktop) failed to catch all files from repo??

i’ve never used github desktop but the only thing i can think about is some kind of merge failure since you’re on a separate branch.

e: maybe it would be a good idea to add an ability to easily override templates with templates.local or something like that, i’ll make a note

Brilliant! Very good solution to allow a template override solution.

Should also be helpful for template localisations in other languages. :slight_smile:
