Class Templates

It should as you can match by class. Have you tried something like this:

[my_pagelayout_for_folders]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_folders.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=1

[my_pagelayout_for_articles]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_articles.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=2

I've not tried this but give it a go.

Well the main area is inserted via the

{$module_result.content}

command. The rest will be as specified in the pagelayout.

Do you have caching on? The layout may be being cached. Try clearing all caches to find if this is the problem.

An alternative path is to include the page top within each of your templates instead of the layout. This isn't quite as good as using a separate pagelayout but is a workaround.

Ill be surprised if the override solution doesn't work.

Hmm, at least its looking for the file.

Try to make the group heading the same as the template name. I think my example was wrong. Thought im not 100% this needs to be done, but its worth a try:

[newpagelayout]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=newpagelayout.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=17

Is your new file within:

design/<your-design>/override/templates ?

Are file permissions correct for this file?

It is possible. Look at the file:

settings/siteaccess/demo/override.ini.append

It has loads of pagelayout overrides in there.

Are you sure you are clearing the cache? Remove everything in var/cache if in doubt.
