Explanation

Clear Cache

To reduce server load and improve performance of your site, your goldroo software uses a page cache. As a result, when you make changes to some templates or other files, these changes will not be visible on your site until you refresh the cache. To refresh the cache:

Go to the admin area of your website
Locate the Maintenance link towards the bottom of your dashboard
Scroll to the bottom of the Maintenance page, and click the Clear Cache button

comment - uncomment

A comment is a bit of code added to the source of a file, which can only be read when viewing the source of the webpage or file in question.
The way to add a comment to an HTML, PHP or CSS file is different for each type file.

HTML

To add a comment to an HTML file, you use .
For example you could write the following code

GoldRoo  is the best!

and all you would see on your webpage would be
GoldRoo is the best!
If you then would "uncomment" the comment, in other words remove the code that creates the comment, like this

GoldRoo software is the best!

then this is what you would see on your webpage:
GoldRoo software is the best!

PHP

In a PHP file you create a comment by adding " // " in front of your comment.
For example you could write the following code

//require_once('file.php');

and that would disable the PHP command, because it is turned into a comment only.
If you then would "uncomment" the comment, in other words remove the code that creates the comment, like this

require_once('file.php');

then the PHP command would be enabled again.

CSS

In a CSS (Stylesheet) you write a comment by adding " /* " in front of your comment, and
" */ " behind the comment
For example you could write the following code to clarify your stylesheet:

/* This is the style for my tables */

detail page

The goldroo script allows every listing to create a separate page with content specific for the listing, sometimes also called a Mini-site.
