Another Way to Change Blogger Template Without Deleting Widget

Fyuh, such a long post title. On my last post, I give trick how to change blogger template without deleting widget. There's same main point, that is copy all widget from current blog to new template. Maybe, some of you not familiar with Notepad ++, a lil bit complicated. Here's another way to edit XML file.
  1. Download new xml template
  2. Save to your desktop. Remember, SAVE no need to open. Some mistake is they open xml file in browser of course there will be an error warning, because browser not compatible to open xml file
  3. Create new blog. This is trial blog to edit new xml template
  4. Upload your new template to trial blog. How to ? Open Edit HTML, and then upload downloaded xml file
  5. Open your current blog layout
  6. Go to Edit HTML, copy all widget code between <div id='sidebar'>
  7. Open trial blog layout
  8. Go to Edit HTML, paste to trial blog, all copied widget code. Put it between <div id='sidebar'> too
  9. Save
  10. Download and save full template of trial blog
  11. Upload to your current blog layout, and you get new layout without deleting widget

I managed to get the right sidebar correctly, but how abt left sidebar? Will all my archives post remains?

How abt all my previous post?will it remains too?

My problem now is when I click at the Archives post, then only the website become "normal" back...if I didn't click any post, it will become "lain macam"....

Cebong Ipiet on June 17, 2009 5:14 PM said...

@BS88: no need, it's automatically :)

BS88 on June 17, 2009 11:42 PM said...

still cannot,arrrrrrh,saya sudah fed up lah...can i change to any other template?

BS88 on June 18, 2009 12:55 PM said...

Ipiet,
When u said copy all widget code between "div id='sidebar', is it same

div id='midsidebar-wrapper' and div id='sidebar-wrapper'??

BS88 on June 18, 2009 2:39 PM said...

ok, i hd checked, i think one of my post --STYLISH U # 6 got problem,if i can erase the Price: RM 8, shd be back to normal,any idea how?

admin said...

@BS 88: there's still another template, you can choose it

yess, it is same. Copy all widget on every section, such as sidebar, mid sidebar. After that step, we can arrange it. The important thing is, it wont be deleted

you will erase it?
Humm, what about delete that post, and re-type :D

hehhehe im sorry, i dont know too, because the other didn't face the problem with this template

BS88 on June 18, 2009 5:57 PM said...

tq,ipiet,still thinking whether to change the template cos I like this very much :)

erase it, i mean when i tried to edit post,the RM 8 is duplicate out when publish.In original post, only one RM 8.

admin said...

@BS88: waw, how can? hehhehe im sorry, because i have never face the problem, so I can give solution for this. When i desperate, usually I make new blog, i change current blog to other name, and then use my old blog name to new blog hehhehe, and i import all post

Fakely Mir on June 18, 2009 10:04 PM said...

got it <3

awww lovely tips <3

anyway miss, my template now is using 'sidebar-wrapper' instead of 'sidebar'. Are they different?
i copied the sidebar-wrapper as if it was sidebar. shall i change the name?
is there any layout that won't work if i use sidebar-wrapper and not sidebar?

and what about midsidebar-wrapper?
i copied it as well tho =)

admin said...

@fakely:no matter thats sidebar name, no need to change, just all widget code ,wherever it hehe :) i mean maybe there's widget on footer, lower-wrapper, copy all :), you can paste to sidebar. The point is it won't be deleted and you can arrange it later

Fakely Mir on June 20, 2009 3:19 PM said...

I tried it and it didn't work ma'am. There was an error said that the xml code wasn't closed properly etc. What's wrong?

admin said...

@fakely: be carefull to copy, have to copy properly. Do not tick mark on expand widget template

for an example your sidebar code

<div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>
<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Search Another Template Here' type='HTML'/>
<b:widget id='HTML2' locked='false' title='Related Resources' type='HTML'/>
<b:widget id='HTML11' locked='false' title='Sponsored Links' type='HTML'/>
<b:widget id='Label2' locked='false' title='Categories' type='Label'/>
</b:section>
</div>


You just have to copy

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Search Another Template Here' type='HTML'/>
<b:widget id='HTML2' locked='false' title='Related Resources' type='HTML'/>
<b:widget id='HTML11' locked='false' title='Sponsored Links' type='HTML'/>
<b:widget id='Label2' locked='false' title='Categories' type='Label'/>



that's widget code

Ny Minute Now on June 24, 2009 1:17 PM said...

Hi! I keep getting the error message, "Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type "b:section" must be terminated by the matching end-tag " whenever I paste and save template. Help? Thanks!

Cebong Ipiet on June 24, 2009 2:05 PM said...

@ny: be carefull to copy, have to copy properly. Do not tick mark on expand widget template

read comment before yours

no need to include b:section
just copy b:widget
