Hi,

are you trying to override the pagelayout.tpl for every class? Is it required?

Here are some information about the pagelayout:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/templates/the_pagelayout

override.ini.append.php

[MeetingRFP]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=meeting_rfp_pagelayout.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=meeting_rfp

This rule overrides the pagelayout if a node of class meeting.rfp were displayed.

$module_result is a variable inside the pagelayout. with:

{$module_result.content}

inside the pagelayout you can display the content of your node!!!

to override the template that is displayed for $module_result.content you should use this:
override.ini.append.php

[MeetingRFP_class]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=full/meeting_rfp.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=meeting_rfp

Now your pagelayout is placed in: /design/plain_site/override/templates/meeting_rfp_pagelayout.tpl
With the last override rule you matches the content inside of $module_result.content.
And this is the template: /design/plain_site/override/templates/full/meeting_rfp.tpl

Inside of this content template you can use $node variable!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

If your override.ini is like this:

[MeetingRFP]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=meeting_rfp_pagelayout.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=meeting_rfp

the you have to fetch the node before you can use it in 'meeting_rfp_pagelayout.tpl':

{def $node = fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', #NODEID# ) ) }

but if your override.ini is like this:

[MeetingRFP_class]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=full/meeting_rfp.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=meeting_rfp

you can use the $node variable inside of 'meeting_rfp.tpl'

<form method="post" action={"/content/action"|ezurl}> - do not forget the leading slash!

Is your attribute called given_name?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards
