Directory Template Change

    I'm using phpld of course. My question is one regarding the changing of template design. If the template changes are uploaded does that affect my overall database of links stored on server?

    Please Help.

    - Unzip contents of the archive to a folder on your computer.
    - Connect to you site using your favorite ftp program and upload all the files in "templates" folder to your phpLD templates folder i.e. www.URL_of_phpLD.com/templates/ This will replace the existing template files with updated ones.
    - Upload "style.css" to your phpLD directory i.e www.URL_of_phpLD.com/
    - Upload all the images in "img" folder to www.URL_of_phpLD.com/img/ replacing the existing files.
    - Delete everything from www.URL_of_phpLD.com/temp/templates/

    maybe you can read it and do it...

    Thanks for the tip. I wasn't asking about how to bring on template changes. I was wondering how would the database be affected by a template change.

    the database should not be affected at all by changing templates. However, you should ALWAYS make backups, if not regularly, at least when making major changes to the directory.

    template modifications dont have anything to do with databases, so you are safe
