Hi,

your override seems to be ok - I think you have placed the template on the right position.

/design/override/templates/meeting_rfp.tpl

Cleared the caches after creating this rule?

Another note: [Meeting RFP] -> change to [MeetingRFP] no whitespaces between the words.

If it not helps you - another way:
Check your override.ini.append.php again - maybe you have another override for the pagelayout in it! Your specific overrides should be placed much more on the top of the file - this little example describes it:

override.ini.append.php

[MyPagelayout]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=mypagelayout.tpl
Subdir=templates

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

In this case the mypagelayout.tpl will be shown, even if your current Object is meeting_rfp. After rotate the both rules:

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

[MyPagelayout]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=mypagelayout.tpl
Subdir=templates

In this case meeting_rfp.tpl will only be displayed if your content object is type of meeting_rfp otherwise mypagelayout.tpl will be shown.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

So your override rules already working?

If you call a link which is type of meeting_rfp class you can access the $node variable. This variable is automatically set by eZ Publish on the node view.

The attributes stored in this node are placed in $node.data_map:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.first_name}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.surname}

This displays the datatype view of this attribute. In most cases you can directly access the content by:

{$node.data_map.first_name.content}

You can also check if your variable has some content by:

{if $node.data_map.first_name.has_content}
...
{/if}

Try to use the attribute(show) operator for the variables it displays you the whole dump for this variable.
{$node.data_map.first_name|attribute(show)}
In most cases it helps you to resolve the problem.

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
