Update pre-production site [application/blocks/ overrides not working] [SOLVED]

Permalink
Hello!

I'm not sure what can be going wrong and I hope someone can help because I can't find anything on the web similar to what I am experiencing.

I've built a Concrete5 site (v5.7.4.2) on my local machine... nothing special, a basic theme and a few custom block templates... Works like a charm (on my local machine!).

Now getting the site to work on a pre-production system is giving me a slight **headache**.

Using [this](https://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/5.7/installation/moving-a-site/) as a guide the site's home page loads as expected... :-)

However, when trying to load a page that contains a block template located in /application/blocks/<block>/templates/..., I get an error:
include(/opt/bitnami/apps/concrete5/htdocs/concrete/blocks/autonav/templates/breadcrumbs/view.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory


OK let's see: on my local machine C5 environment :

The file is clearly in its "override" location:
~$ ls /opt/bitnami/apps/concrete5/htdocs/application/blocks/autonav/templates/breadcrumbs/view.php && echo "ok"
/opt/bitnami/apps/concrete5/htdocs/application/blocks/autonav/templates/breadcrumbs/view.php
ok


Am I missing something?

I've cleared the cache, and set all cache settings to OFF,
File permissions look good
$ ls -al /opt/bitnami/apps/concrete5/htdocs/application/blocks/autonav/templates/breadcrumbs/view.php       
total 16K
drwxr-xr-x 2 bitnami daemon 4.0K Jun 15 18:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 bitnami daemon 4.0K Jun 15 20:04 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 bitnami daemon 5.4K Jun 15 18:20 view.php


Can anyone give me some troubleshooting tips so I can avoid this quagmire in the future.

thanks in advance.

Hi sthaigh,

In the pre-production server environment, there appears to be two breadcrumbs templates. I don't see breadcrumbs.php in the local environment. Maybe there is a conflict between which template to use.
/opt/bitnami/apps/concrete5/htdocs/application/blocks/autonav/templates/breadcrumbs/view.php
/opt/bitnami/apps/concrete5/htdocs/application/blocks/autonav/templates/breadcrumbs.php

Good catch... sometimes one needs an extra set of eyes! However I can't explain why this is. Anyway...

I happened to come across a this post which solved my issue:
https://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/5-7-discussion/5.7-blockt...

So I replaced this
$nav = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav');
$nav->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc';
$nav->controller->displayPages = 'top';
$nav->controller->displaySubPages = 'relevant_breadcrumb';
$nav->controller->displaySubPageLevels = 'enough';
$nav->controller->blockViewRenderOverride = 'templates/breadcrumbs/view';
$nav->render();

with a standard Concrete5 area block in my page template...

Happy Camper!
