Error messages for 'Can't find page templates' (in 3.3.x)

[peakpg]

This issue occurs when page templates are:

1. Stored in the database
2. Don't exist on the file server

This might occur if for instance, a developer had downloaded a copy of a production database to their machine. When a user tries to load a page, the CMS can't find the page template, because it hasn't been written from the database to the file system.

Work arounds:

A. Update the template (or partial) through the admin tab. This will force it to write out to disk again.
B. From the rails console, run the following command:

$ DynamicView.write_all_to_disk!

This will write all templates in the database out.

Real solution:

The engine should call write_all_to_disk! as part of startup. See cms/init.rb for the old code that used to do this.
