Either one of your added layout might cause an issue by one or many installed extensions or your permissions settings from your admin - > systems - > users - > user groups page are not properly defined.

I can take a look if you can`t solve.
You can send admin access on PM ( you can change password after)

Help is free.

LE. Also possible something wrong with config`s ...you images doesn`t load.
Was a clean install or upgrade?
Check in Cpanel if you have /home/xxxx/ or /home2/xxxxx/. If is home, then same should be in config, if is home2, thene home2 should be in config.

LE2. Also I don`t understand why you have shop in an e folder :)

A bit of a long shot, but maybe something is getting confused by changing two things at once? Try again, changing just one thing and saving (and testing), then change/save/test the other thing. It's worth a try. Also see if one of the original things you changed is already changed (usually either the first or last item changed). I've seen code where the update mechanism quits as soon as it has found and handled the first change, ignoring any others submitted in the same batch -- maybe that's happening here.

In admin/controller/design/layout.php file,

find all instances of:

Code: Select all

if (($this->request->server['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && $this->validateForm()) {
add below each:

Code: Select all

echo "<pre />\n";
print_r($this->request->post);
echo "</pre>\n";
exit;
Then, test the admin design layout page again. Once the form saved, you should notice the array in a blank page.

straightlight…. amazing... thanks a lot....

it also seems to have fixed it....

incidentally to get to the layout.php file there was a design subdirectory....

but as my old latin master used to say to me when i was struggling with a transalation….

chill even Homer struggled writing The Odyssey.... what Greek had to do with Latin I still have no idea...
