TYPO3 Board

Hi,

I'm not a programmer, but am a huge Typo3 fan (learning curve is really steep, but my life as a volunteer webmaster of an NGO is so much easier now).

I'm sure there is a simple answer to my question, but I can't for the life of me figure out the solution. I downloaded a template designed for Typo3, uploaded it and all was great. There's a search box (macina) placed in the right hand corner, and I want to remove it. Thinking this was an easy one, I deleted all references of the search box in my template and also in the css. Yet, much to my surprise, the search box is still. I cleared the cache, it still appears on the site , leading me to conclude that Typo3 must've created a duplicate of the template at some point, and is using that file, not the modified template. Does anyone know where this dopple-ganger template file resides? And what should I do with it? Delete, modify?

Also, on a completely unrelated topic, what would happen if I deleted all of the contents in the typo3temp folder?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you cleared the FE-Cache, too? Or only the cache in typo3conf?

Nothing happens if you remove only the contents of this folder and not the subfolders (but you can remove its content, too). But don't remove the file extensions.xml.gz.

You can do this by looging into your server via FTP oder in the Install Tool (6: typo3temp/ and 7: cleanup database).
