Hi can anyone help a Newb to Drupal and a Non PHP expert who has hit wall after wall now is frustratingly stuck on this. I am learning but now this ones thrown me.
I using framework theme and have been following this tutorial, http://www.devlounge.net/publishing/how-to-make-a-magazine-style-homepag...
My problem is page-front.tpl.php is completely ignored
I have template.php along with
views-view-fields--Features--block.tpl.php
views-view-fields--Headline--block.tpl.php
and style.css which sit in in C:\wamp\www\mysite\sites\all\themes\framework directory.
I have tested each of those files by renaming each one on an individual basis to check each one breaks the the site when their name is changed in order to see that each file is being read. In each case they are all being read; its just the page-front.tpl.php that is not being scene which is obvously affecting what I am trying to see with regards to the regions that have been added. What could I have missed or done?
I have settings.php and defaultsettings.php sitting in the directory:
C:\wamp\www\mysite\sites\default
I am using Drupal 6.11
Cheers

First things first-- go back to a core theme like garland, copy page.tpl.php to page-front.tpl.php and add some text at the top like "THIS IS THE FRONT PAGE" and see if it's detected. If it is, take a fresh copy of framework and do the same thing.

1) do you have both a page.tpl.php and page-front.tpl.php in your theme folder (you need both)
2) clear the cache in Performance settings every time you add a new template

lol-- of all the money i have spent on my education over the years, by far the most useful was the $100 professional typing class I took in a little secretarial school. ;-)

Thanks for you help :-)
Thank you so much people; as you both suggested I cleared the cache in Performance settings, copied across the page.tpl and tested and now everything is working fine; I have a feeling many of the times I have gone through the tutorial and had bad result 'not' clearing the cache has been my fundamental problem. I now know for future :-)
Thanks one again!
