Difference between editing template or categories template

Hello

i'm facing a problem with editing template or cat layout parameters..

I've made a personal template for my front page, made a new cat for this front page and assign my cat template to it.
And now I'm trying to adjust the items presentation on this front page.


First, I've made changes on the template category view, but if I can change from one to two columns, I can't change the Introtext max length, even if I set it to 10.

After that, I tried to change it by the cat template view, and here again, I have the sames conflicts
If a edit the template parameters with the button "Edit layout and global parameters" on the top view, sometimes I can see that parameters between the two views are different.
Is there a sync delay ?


If i'm not wrong, I can also override template parameters by editing it in the cat view with the layout parameters (in the right part), wright ?
Is it correct that this one should override the template display parameters ?

Also, to debug that, I've set exactly the sames parameters between template display parameters and cat layout parameters.
When, in the cat layout parameters, I change from 2 columns to 3 columns : it works.
But when I set introtext max lenght to 10, nothing changes.
And I don't understand why....

Hello

so your custom category layout is a copy of our "blog" template ?

I can't exactly remember that, it was two years ago, but I would say yes.

Hello

please update to v3.3.1.4
and then create a new copy of the blog template
and (test) try to use / configure / customize the new copy

Ok, thank you, I'll do it.
