Override one part of a class, leaving untouched the other part

Wednesday 11 August 2004 11:25:12 am

I would like to make a template file for a pagelayout where there are different xml parts of the class I want to show.

There are some multi-line menupoints (let's call them menu)
and there is a big article also in the same class (let's call it bigtext).
Both of them are xml texts.

I don't want the menupoints to get closed into PARAGRAPH-s, but it's the builtin feature of an xml text. I would like to override the paragraph.tpl in "ezxmltags" directory, but only for the "menu" part of my class, and not the "bigtext" parts. How to do it?

Is it possible to make a workaround for the class-attribute level override this way?

Inside the paragraph.tpl the code could detect the name of the caller class-attribute (via a section - section-else condition)...

{section show=WE_ARE_CALLED_FOR_A_MENUPOINT}
{$content}
{section-else}
<p>
{$content}
</p>
{/section}

Thank you! success!!
Match[attribute_identifier] is great...

By the way: if I am a freshman, how can I find the relevant part of the php code, where the acceptable Match[... ] values take place? Some rgreps in the kernel directory? Or some print_r-s in the index.php? ...

Is there some elegant way to see, what variable-s can be seen from a template.tpl file?
I mean something like http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/custom_design/template_variables_set_by_ezpublish ,but without having to known this kind of specialities of eZp...
