      Template crashes due to errors and removing the faulty code doesn't help

      The problem is likely due to the error being so severe that the Smarty engine cannot rebuild its template. This typically happens with so-called "Fatal errors". The solution is to ask Smarty to clear its cache of compiled templates.
      For this purpose, there is a solution that involves setting a parameter in your address bar, for example: http://www.dandomain webshop.dk/?parameter. The parameter can be one of the following:

      1. ?forceCompile=1 - If this parameter is set, Smarty will force a compilation of the templates related to the active side - i.e. the page you are on.
      2. ?clearCompile - This parameter clears all compiled files for the active template
      3. ?clearCompile=index.tpl - If you know that the error is in index.tpl file on the active template, simply add the name of the file and only that file will be cleared.
