Gray is text that is the same between the two templates. On the bottom of the Compare screen, it shows what the different colors mean.

Are you also removing the code that needs to be removed (in red)? I'm not sure if that is why.

Make sure that everytime you add an <if> that you also add an </if>. They must be added as a pair or you will get an error.

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you add an <if>, you always have to add an </if>. So, when you are copying the code over to make your changes, make sure you always check to see you are adding both before you hit Save.

yes i mean if you remove the red code then i lose all my mods from 3.7 ? so i searche the 3.7 codes on the templates and add the green code from the new template so you must have add the </if> code before and after the new codes ?
thx

Forget about the comment regarding red code - it all depends on how you view the items to compare. So, forget about that comment.

But, as I said, when adding code to your existing template.... make sure that if you add an <if>, that is also comes with a corresponding </if> somewhere. Don't just add a </if>, make sure you see it shown in the code to be added. And, make sure you don't split up the <if></if> pair. They are like html.... if you do a <b> and then an <i>, you must close the </i> before you close the </b> - the same is true for <if>s.

ok i think i did it wrong i paste the green code in the template added so first i search the code in the red then underneath the new green code , if someone missed the <if> code then i paste it before or after the green added code ? if its not there in the green code ?
thx

Are you using Side by Side comparison? It's much easier to see what is going on that way.
