Hi,
I am writing an extension and need a different pagelayout for the extension file. Normally i would set the following that grabs the pagelayout based on a matching criteria, in this case the section.
[new_pagelayout] Source=pagelayout.tpl MatchFile=new_pagelayout.tpl Subdir=templatesMatch[section]=3
Unfortunately i have not match criteria for my extension, any ideas? Is it possible?
Can i code an extension to look like a section? if so i could use section match.

I was trying with this way :
extenstion/mymodule/settings/siteaccess/admin/override/
The Ezoverride code is checking this folder as i saw it ezoverride.php, but still not working with me !

I know i added some debug info to eZTemplateDesignResource and it finds the templates, but i think they may not be able to be matched as the code is not there for extensions... I really hope i am wrong.

anther thing also ... I was tryung to match[class]=15 for line.tpl .. but the problem was is not matching it even by [node] .. and the probelem was that override path was the same for the overrided template ...so I changed to override/template/node/viewx/line.tpl .. and the match[class] work fine ... you may try to but the MatchFile in sub filder. . maybe this the mistake !

are you overriding pagelayout.tpl or just the classes?

now I don`t override 'pagelayout.tpl' .. but almost every thing, classes and editing and viewing .

In the end we found that putting in a line at the end of the module view like this:
$Result['pagelayout'] = 'pagelayout_mylayout.tpl';
works.
'pagelayout_mylayout.tpl' overrides the default 'pagelayout.tpl' in our override file just as we expect.
ez, is this correct behaviour for a module extension? do we need to declare which layout we want? Maybe there should be more documentation stating what effect the $Result value has on the template.

I'll second that Paul, and good eye for spotting it, I couldn't find it until you showed me. If more people are to produce modules then the basics needs to be documented like$Result['pagelayout'] etc.
To start with just the syntax and a brief overview will be enough and a tutorial module that had examples, very much like the useful "demo" site.
I think more people would delve into Modules if this was available.
Script start
Module start 'content'
Module end 'content'
Script end
