Broken overrides

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a simple site in ezPublish (which I've not really used before).
I've created a few sections and overrides for them, to display content nicely, as per the example Chess Club tutorial.

However, as I've been expanding the site with new folders and sections, suddenly all my overrides except the front page stopped working, and reverted into using the "Default object view".

As far as I can tell, the overrides and folders are all there and set up as they should be.

Anyone got an idea on what's going on and what I can do to correct it?

Thanks,

Ok, I figured it out..

It was because I added a new section, and for some reason the assignments got screwed up so that everything was assigned to the new section. Don't know what really caused this to happen, but I fixed it by reassigning the folders to the appropriate sections.

Assigning the new section to the root folder would explain the behaviour. If it happends again, and your able to reproduce it, please add a bug report on it.

I have figure some problems / troubles with assing section before and cannot reproduce it.

I thing the way this is implemented now, is not the best option.

The way it works now:
- you create the section
- then assign the section to the folder node (or any other node content)

The way it should work (in my humble opinion it is the best and logic way):
make the assigment in reverse order ->
- create the section,
- then go to content view (admin interface) and assign the node content to the section (and not assign section to content!). If the content is a folder, then asks if want assign the children content too (recursive assingnment).
This is the troutbleless and logic way !

I Would like hear what other users thing.
