Comic not generating new content

[heydronyachronicles]

First off, I apologize if this is a similar topic to one already posted, but I couldn't seem to find my exact problem, and I have been searching for days now.

I'm a new comic maker, so I've only just been granted my comicgenesis page, which I have been updating. The first comic updated with no problem at all, and I figured everything was going smoothly. The problem only seemed to arise when I started editing the .html files. I've updated both and re-uploaded them, I didn't even have to change the original html given by comicgenesis, I just built onto it(and removed a few things, but nothing important, just the comic and author name from the top). In spite of this, my comic's homepage still reflects the original html, complete with comic and author name. I found one similar problem to this, but that person reported the html as fixing itself a couple of days later, unlike my own.

Today, another comic was supposed to update at Midnight(EST), but even though it has the same date format as the first page, it still hasn't come up. The part that has me TRULY confused is that the comic has been moved over from workspace to public_html. Did I mess up something critical?

I've been using filezilla as my FTP, but also verifying the changes I made through the web-ftp. If you need anymore information out of me, just let me know. I'll be keeping my eye on the forums for similar problems.

Which html files are you editing? You ought to be editing the templates in the workspace folder. The templates are named indextemplate.html and dailytemplate.html - you download them, edit them and then upload them to the same place. Make sure the names are correct.

How are you dating the comics? The correct format is YYYYMMDD.ext where Y = year, M = month, D = day and ext = extension (.jpg .gif .png and .swf allowed). Check your dates as if you name it for the day, month or year ahead of the current one then the comics won't update.

(Also, sometimes the server will update but your browser will show you the cached version - refresh to see if the server updated).

Let us know how it goes.

I encountered a related problem when I tried fixing the previous_page button on the index_template file in the Space template you wrote, Doc. Essentially, the page displayed the source code for the page (except for the images, which displayed normally) instead of a properly formatted page, but only on the index page (the daily pages displayed normally). All I did was add a third asterisk to the beginning of the "***previous_page***" code; other than that, the code is unchanged. Any idea what went wrong?

If your comic is Frontier 2170 then it seems to be working at the moment (bar the error on the previous day).

If you're getting just raw code then that manes that the file didn't get parsed by the server. Double check to make sure that the template went into the workspace folder and not into the public_html folder and that it has the right name.
