How to use custom template?

Wednesday 09 June 2010 9:11:20 am

I'm trying to create a custom template. I've read the following pages:

http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/templates/template_basics/node_templates

http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/templates/the_template_override_system

But still can't figure out how my new template / class can be associated to the template file.

I've created a class called Page Article (page_article).
I've created a file called page_article.tpl and placed this in override/templates/full/.
I've created a override.ini.append.php and placed this in extension/ezwebin/settings/

In  override.ini.append.php I've put the following:
[page_article]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=page_article.tpl
Subdir=override/templates/full
Match[section]=1
Match[class]=2

What am I doing wrong?

 I'm a big fan of examples. That helps a lot :)

That highly depends on what you have on line 12 and 19 in that template (So yes, always post the lines of code you have issues with so people can help you, what code is on which line changes from version to version, so always post the line in question and a few lines above and bellow if it seems to be several lines involved in what ever happens on the lines something breaks).

Looked in full/article.tpl in webin, but there are no tpl code on line 12 so guess you made some changes. Additionally, if your class is different then article class, that probably explains it as well.

Ok, I've done some more research.

This code works and outputs the intro text:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.intro}

But using this code gives me an error: 

{if $node.data_map.intro.content.is_empty|not}
    <div class="articleIntro">
      {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.intro}
    </div>
{/if}
 

The error  is on the first line {if $node.data_map.intro.content.is_empty|not}.
Error message:

Cannot retrieve attribute of a string
