error when editing template

[jeffshead]

I get the following error when attempting to save templates after editing them in the Dashboard » Templates » * section:

Fatal error: Invalid Template in e:\www\mysite.com\support\modules\core\admin_templates.php on line 643

These are the lines of code in admin_templates.php around line 643:

// Fetch the template
 $_template = $dbCore->queryFetch("SELECT * FROM `". TABLE_PREFIX ."templates` AS templates LEFT JOIN `". TABLE_PREFIX ."templatedata` AS templatedata ON (templates.templateid = templatedata.templateid) WHERE templates.templateid = '". intval($_REQUEST["templateid"]) ."';");
 // Verify its a valid template
 if (empty($_template["templateid"]))
 {
  trigger_error($_SWIFT["language"]["invalidtemplate"], E_USER_ERROR);
 }
 
 // ======= PROCESS ACTIONS =======

I took a peak in the database and all of the templates have ID's. I even deleted the database and the entire support directory on the server and started from scratch. Still get the same results... don't have a clue.


I also get the same error when clicking on the restore button. If I manually delete all of the text in the box, then click restore, it works. Then I can edit the code in the box and click save and the setting are saved. Really strange!

This does not happen with every template, but so far, with the index and footer templates.

Does this happen to all templates? What kind of changes did you make to the templates?

Yesterday, for testing purposes, I performed a fresh install including a new database and I tried something really simple like just adding some text or removing text and I was able to recreate the problem. It did not appear to happen with all templates. I did not test everyone, just Header, Footer, Navbar, and Index. Header and Navbar did not seem to have this problem.

This is so strange... I made no changes what so ever before going to bed last night. I wake up this morning and start testing (for your post) and find that I cannot recreate the problem with any of the templates.

This is a Windows box and I have not manually set up any cron jobs or tasks yet. What on earth could cause this behavior?
