Screwed up templates

I hammered a couple of custom templates that I had made, so I restored a backup to a different database, copied the data from the 'template' field and inserted it into the proper template (using phpMyAdmin).

Now, when I edit the template in the style manager, all of the <if> type code in the templates is screwy. For example, these used to be an <if> statements:


\" . (($VariableName) ? (\"
\") : (\"\")).\"


What's that all about?

Damned if I know. It's to do with the parsing. But I'd think that would have worked. I just don't know though. I've never traced that code.

Here's something else I found... if I leave the template as-is, it works. But if I go in, edit it, save it and try to re-display the page it's used on, it's all screwy - that stuff is displayed as text and not parsed anymore.

Odd...
