Hi Victor,

Finally I found what caused the error and fixed it. In the case when communities admin are allowed to change their site template, there was a recursive call between dotlrn_community::get_site_template_id_not_cached and dotlrn_community::get_site_template_id.

Here is the change I comitted for get_site_template_id_not_cached:

Thanks Emma.

There was a problem with flushing the dotlrn*::get_site_template_id_not_cached *. I commited this fixes
last night. Now changing the defautl site template
from the dotlrn admin section works great for users
and communities.

And then the problem you mention with the recursive call to
get_site_template_id from get_site_template_id_not_cached.

Another thing related to this.
When you install the theme-selva package, it modifies
the 'DefaultMaster' parameter in the Main Subsite.
This brakes the changing site templates functionality.
My sugestion is to modify the install process of
selva in order to add it as a site template ( just like
Kelp and Sloan site templates , but we can talk about this
in the dotlrn chat meeting :).

Cheers,
Victor Guerra.

Hi Victor:

Thank you for fixing this.

About Selva, I've got it on my todo. I was waiting for the fix of site template to do it ;).

See you tonight.

Hi,

Support for site-template has been added to Theme-selva package and comitted to the repository in the oacs-5-2 branch. I provided upgrade scripts also and support for both postgresql and oracle.
