Hej everybody,
Today finally I decided to update Views on my D7 (7.9) site. The update process went without any notes. From 7.x-3.0-rc1 to 7.x-3.0-rc3.
Looking at my site I found the layout slightly changed. The reason was, that the page-tpl.php obviously wasn't used/called any more.
I found two themes deactivated: Zen and my Zen based custom theme. Reactivating them didn't change anything.
I tried to use the older version of Views again (updating the system to the older version), but the layout didn't change back.
Next was deleting the database of the entire site and restoring the latest copy (just a few minutes old). Now (with the old version of Views and the "old" database) the site is back to normal.
Does someone have a suggestion what could cause this and how I can mange to update Views soon?
All the best - andreas

No Views issue
Sorry for the confusion. I found out that my problem was not an update issue but a theme one.
For what ever reason there was no theme selected as default. My Zen based custom theme wasn't even activated, neither was Zen. But Drupal was recognizing changes in the css files belonging to my theme.
Now I have activated both themes and the site is back to normal. But first I had to move the templates (page.tpl.php etc.) from mytheme/templates/page.tpl.php to mytheme/page.tpl.php. I have no clue why it is like this.
Now the update of Views worked, no problems.
And I am so happy that I made frequent updates of database and files. :-)
All the best - andreas
