AskBot v0.10.2: How to update footer.html ...
 
   
  
 
 
Hello Friends:
 
I'm trying AskBot v0.10.2.
 
Just FYI that I saw this solution from a long while ago, but maybe it no longer works:
  
If you activate the OpenStack theme/skin, the footer is located here (after running python manage.py collectstatic):
 
${ASKBOT_HOME}/static/openstack/templates/widgets/footer.html

 
     
  1. When I edit that file, it doesn't change on the site no matter what I do. I have tried clearing caches everywhere, too. (By the way, I'm using nginx and uWSGI).
    2.  
  2. Next, I tried using the custom footer LIVESETTINGS option, and pasting in a trivially edited version of that same footer.html file, and again absolutely nothing changes on the site.
    3.  
 
(Note: I'm open to suggestions on clearing out nginx, uWSGI and askbot's caches, in case I did something incorrectly).
 
What am I missing on how to change the footer? It refuses to update.
 
Thank you! =:)

I figure it out. Answer:
 
I personally use the ASKBOT_EXTRA_SKINS_DIR and STATICFILES_DIRS to add additional templates, including the OpenStack template. So with that said, the solution is:
 
     
  1. vi ${ASKBOT_EXTRA_SKINS_DIR}/openstack/templates/widgets/footer.html  (Make your modifications).
    2.  
  2. cd ${ASKBOT_HOME}
    3.  
  3. python manage.py collectstatic --settings live  (Note: I inherit from settings.py into live.py).
    4.  
 
And that works. Note that every time you make an update (i.e. perform step-1), you'll have to follow it up by doing steps 2 and 3, as well.
