Automatic updates can't push anything that isn't in the install
directory, and will have issues with anything that can be changed per
install. Although I suppose changing the *default* templates could be
pushed with automatic updates, but that won't have an effect on
customized ones.
You also can't easily push updates per org unit, for example.

Quoting "Sharp, Chris" <[email protected]>:
We were wondering if anyone else on 2.0.6 has experienced where custom
receipt templates that have been imported and saved locally, randomly
reset themselves back to the Evergreen receipt defaults without
actually clicking the “Default” button. If so what did you do to
resolve this issue. If not is there anything we can check on our
system that might be causing this reset.
The templates are kept on each local machine in a file located here
(on WinXP):
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\OpenILS\open_ils_staff_client\Profiles\[randomstring].default\chrome\print_list_templates
Perhaps that will provide a clue as to what's happening? Maybe
something is causing that file to be overwritten?
We reset them all locally - I
don't know of a way to set them all centrally. If someone does, please
let us know.
Aside from keeping a central backup of such templates (by clicking
"Export" and saving the file to external media) I don't know how it
would be done. Perhaps these could be pushed centrally in future
releases by utilizing the automatic updates feature that's supposed
to be in 2.1+:
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_client#staff_client_automatic_updates
I'm not sure what can and cannot be updated with that feature so
I'll defer to the developers who know.
Hope that's helpful!
Chris

Hi Melissa - We upgraded to 2.0.6 last month and indeed, our receipt
templates were back at the defaults. We reset them all locally - I
don't know of a way to set them all centrally. If someone does, please
let us know.
