vqmod xml does not work as it should

Hello,
I'm having some trouble with my custom vqmod xml and I'm not even sure why it doesn't work.
I'm basically trying to replace a line in a tpl file with a different line.
This is my mod:

Code: Select all

<modification>
	<id><![CDATA[header mod]]></id>
	<version><![CDATA[1.0]]></version>
	<vqmver><![CDATA[2.3.0]]></vqmver>
	<author><![CDATA[nicexe]]></author>
	<file name="catalog/view/theme/basel/template/common/headers/header2.tpl">
		<operation>
			<search position="replace" error="log"><![CDATA[        <div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-sm hidden-xs">]]></search>
			<add><![CDATA[        <div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-xs">]]></add>
		</operation>
	</file>
</modification>
I cleared vqmod cache and enabled the mod but when I visit the page I can definitely see that the code isn't replaced.
I checked the logs and I see no error related to my mod or the file it messes with.
I also checked the vqmod cache and the modified file is missing so that tells me that my mod never took place.

What am I doing wrong?

<file name="catalog/view/theme/basel/template/common/headers/header2.tpl">
for:
<file path="catalog/view/theme/basel/template/common/headers/header2.tpl">
I would suggest the use of the VQMod Manager from the Marketplace to debug your XML files with VQMod.

No, this is not the issue, because "name" is valid for VQMod, "path" is required by OCMod only, since it doesn't support "name" attribute.

Right. I may have mixed both on this one. However, I did suggested the use of VQMod Manager to confirm the results.

<operation>
<search position="replace" error="log">
error="log"
must be in
<operation error="log">
so first you should read how to use vqmod. Next... maybe you have copied wrong line to replace.

AVOID any empty SPACE(s) or TAG(s) in SEARCH Command Content, like shown here,
BEFORE and/or AFTER an ANCHOR/TAG LINE, like, in this case, this one:
<div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-sm hidden-xs">
as shown here:

Code: Select all

<search position="replace"><![CDATA[        <div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-sm hidden-xs">]]></search>
by better doing it like this:

Code: Select all

<search position="replace"><![CDATA[<div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-sm hidden-xs">]]></search>

Thanks people.
I took into account what you replied.
The script now looks a bit like this:

Code: Select all

<modification>
	<id><![CDATA[header mod]]></id>
	<version><![CDATA[1.0]]></version>
	<vqmver><![CDATA[2.6.0]]></vqmver>
	<author><![CDATA[nicexe]]></author>
	<file name="catalog/view/theme/basel/template/common/headers/header2.tpl,catalog/view/theme/basel/template/common/headers/header2.twig">
		<operation>
			<search position="replace" error="log"><![CDATA[<div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-sm hidden-xs">]]></search>
			<add><![CDATA[<div class="dropdown-wrapper-click from-top hidden-sx hidden-xs">]]></add>
		</operation>
	</file>
</modification>
For one reason or another I am still having problems.
I do not see any related entry in the logs so I assume that the file I'm modding is not really the one responsible for what I'm trying to change.
Is there any way to make sure what piece of code is responsible for a piece of html in order to target with a VQMod?

did you tried
error="log"
move to
<operation error="log">

in your code are:

Code: Select all

<search position="replace" error="log">
should be:

Code: Select all

<operation error="log">
<search position="replace">
