Override template won't connect to custom user class

Thursday 20 January 2005 4:59:07 am

Hi,

I wonder if someone can shed some light on a tricky problem I have come across.

I have created a custom user class to store registered users who wish to receive a newsletter.

I have overridden 'user/register.tpl' using:

	[register_form]
	Source=user/register.tpl
	MatchFile=register_form.tpl
	Subdir=templates

in my override.ini.append.php file.

and:

	[UserSettings] # {I think this was correct)
	RegistrationEmail=enabled
	DefaultUserPlacement=25
	UserClassID=25

in my site.ini.append.php file.

All that gets displayed in my '/index.php/user/register' file is the standard form. The overridden form is ignored.

I have read http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/tutorial_using_user_register but am no closer to solving the problem.

The documentation seems very sparse on the subject and the legacy forum messages fail to shed light on the subject.

Using: eZ Publish 3.5 - Cache has been cleared.

Help me please before all my hair turns grey! :-)

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Hi,

An easier way to do this:

Create your own register.tpl and place it in /design/<your_design>/templates/user/register.tpl - eZ publish will automatically use it because it is there (and thus it will not fallback to the register template that lives in the standard design).

By the way. If we take out the Match[class]=25 line then them register_form.tpl is used. Otherwise it falls back to register.tpl ...

It's a custom user class for public website visitors to sign-up for a news alert.

It will require a separate registration form.

[register_form]
Source=user/register.tpl
MatchFile=register_form.tpl
Subdir=templates 

I ve test this code and works fine on default settings in site.ini. Clear the all cache or delete /var/cache and /var/prefix/cache. If still doesn`t work, reset your settings to default in site.ini.

EDIT:

I ve also test

[register_form]
Source=user/register.tpl
MatchFile=register_form.tpl
Subdir=templates 
Match[class_identifier]=user

and

[register_form]
Source=user/register.tpl
MatchFile=register_form.tpl
Subdir=templates 
Match[class]=4

Both works too :-)

I think that you have problem with cache.

[UserSettings] 
RegistrationEmail=enabled
DefaultUserPlacement=  //place where new user will be created! (usualy user group)
UserClassID=25 //your user class

# Where to send email of newly registered users
RegistrationEmail=

Why you set value "enabled" ? Can you paste your all configs for user registartion?

Ok - by random exercising we got it to work.

Basically if you submit the form to register a user (this using the base register.tpl), the next time you go to the registration form it has now switched to register_form.tpl and (the important thing) it uses the new user class's (id 25) attributes to build the form.

This seems to be a caching problem, although we deleted all caches in between attempts. It would be good if someone could explain this behaviour to us.

On to the next problem ...
