Strange override.ini - behaviour

Friday 18 July 2003 4:37:03 am

Hi everybody, sorry for bugging you, but I have to solve this weird problem quickly.

So - this is my source in template:

{switch match=$node.node_id}
{case match=236}
{node_view_gui view=actual content_node=$node}
{/case}
{case}
{include uri="design:article.tpl"}
{/case}
{/switch}

this is my entry in override.ini.append for the design:

[actual]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=actual.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=236

this is the message I got:
Warning: eZTemplate:node_view_gui Jul 18 2003 11:41:20
None of the templates design:node/view/actual.tpl could be found

actual.tpl is in design/override/templates is located proper rights.

I read all those documentation on ez.no, but I've got no further idea.

Hello Jan, thx for your reply! But there's something I don't understand:

You wrote, that the system looks for a page /node/view/actual.tpl and so I should change my template line into: {node_view_gui view=full content_node=$node} and then it works.

But, I the documentation of override.ini I found:

"...
[musicfolder]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=musicfolder.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=1
Match[section]=4

[welcomearticle]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=welcomearticle.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=42

This configuration will create two override templates, both will override node/view/full.tpl based on different settings. The first override template is named musicfolder.tpl and is located in override/templates/. This template will be used if someone is viewing an object with class ID 1 in section 4. The next override is named welcomearticle.tpl and will only be used when someone is viewing the node with ID 42.
...
If no overrides are found for the current node the standard file (node/view/full.tpl in this example) will be used. If this file is missing as well then the system will use the templates in the standard design.
..."
What is the belonging code in the template? Is it {node_view_gui view=full content_node=$node} ?????

BTW:
I changed
{node_view_gui view=actual content_node=$node}
in
{node_view_gui view=full content_node=$node}

the entry in my override.ini.append is
[actual]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=actual.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=236

and the system displays now full.tpl, although

Sorry, but I found the new override-system still illogical. It has cost me severals weeks for investigation, however none of my 3.0.2 sites are running with 3.1.

Believe me, they are very complex sites with special programming in the templates diving into depth 6 - and none is working under 3.1.

Either templates variables are not found or the templates itself are not found - although everything seems to be right configured.

If I don't find a solution until the end of this week, I'll look for another CMS because ez 3.1 doesn't work for me.

Hoping, that you'll understand, that I'm a little bit annoyed.

Yes, right, Jan - it seems to be the documentation, it lacks the overview. For you who are involdved into this project, everything seems clear, because you made. But we, your customers have to understand your intensions by creating ezpublish. Little by little pieces of that jigsaw appeared, but I think it takes too long time to discover all.

E.g. one of the sites I look after is physical.vorschauseite.de. The site is almost complete, but now I have to upgrade to 3.1.1 by order of my customer. So I'm hanging, because all had to be done last week and now .... look at physical-test.vorschauseite.de. That's "the upgrade" which do not work.

And that is the illogical part: how can it be, that templates in an upgrade don't work anymore. And why do you introduce a complete different override system that smashes the work of month into dust?

So, I'll continue trial and error, maybe it'll work in a few days. Todays task: Why is actual.tpl not shown although everything is quite right configured?

And another question or a statement: It seems to better to avoid that 'node_view_gui' and better use 'include'?

Regards,
Michael

PS: Now that: if I change that node_view_gui against include uri ... , the templates is found and works. I mean, this is illogical, too!

Hi Bård,
tahnk you for answering! I ran that script as I installed the new distribution. The only result is:
<b>Warning</b>: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 45
in <b>/var/home/eztest/html/generateoverridesettings.php</b> on line <b>61</b><br />

Please, do me a favour:
I want you to call http://physical-test.vorschauseite.de and then choose a menuitem from the left code. The menu is included from a file called leftmenu.tpl. Is located in design/templates. As you can see on physical.vorschauseite.de, the whole stuff is working well with ez 3.0.2 . Here is the code of leftmenu.tpl:

{let menu_folder_list=fetch('content',list,hash(parent_node_id,2,sort_by,array(array(priority))))}
<table id="leftmenu" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="leftmenu"><img src={"leer.gif" | ezimage } width="15" height="10"></td>
<td class="leftmenu"><img src={"leer.gif" | ezimage } width="194" height="10"></td>
<td class="leftmenuline"><img src={"leer.gif" | ezimage } width="1" height="10"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src={"menu-br-unten.gif" | ezimage } width="210" height="2"></td>
</tr>
{section name=Folder loop=$menu_folder_list offset=1}
{section-exclude match=$Folder:item.node_id|eq(60)}
{section show=or(and($Folder:item.node_id|ne($node.node_id),$node.depth|lt(3)),and($Folder:item.node_id|ne($node.parent_node_id),$node.depth|eq(3)),and($Folder:item.node_id|ne($node.path_array[2]),$node.depth|eq(5)),
and($Folder:item.node_id|ne($node.path_array[2]),$node.depth|eq(4)),$node.node_id|eq(236),$node.parent_node_id|eq(236))}
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src={"menu-br-oben.gif" | ezimage } width="210" height="1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="leftmenu"><a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$Folder:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl}>
<img src={"menu-dot.gif" | ezimage } width="15" height="21" border="0" align="middle">{$Folder:item.name}</a></td>
<td class="leftmenuline"><img src={"leer.gif" | ezimage } width="1" height="21"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src={"menu-br-unten.gif" | ezimage } width="210" height="2"></td>
</tr> {* Obermenupunkt *}
{section-else}
{node_view_gui view=menuitem content_node=$Folder:item choice=$node.node_id level3=$node.path_array[3]}
{/section}
{/section}
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src={"menu-br-oben.gif" | ezimage } width="210" height="1"></td>

<td class="leftmenuitem">
<div class="searchblock">
<form name="search" action={"/content/search/"|ezurl} method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="SectionID" value="2"><a class="topmenu" href="javascript:document.search.submit();">Suche</a>
<input class="searchtext" type="text" name="SearchText" id="Search" value="" />
</form>
</div></td>
<td class="leftmenuline"><img src={"leer.gif" | ezimage } width="1" height="21"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td class="leftmenuline"><img src={"leer.gif" | ezimage } width="1" height="10"></td>

</table>
{/let}

What is wrong? Why is this code not working? What do I have to add in the override.ini or should I switch from node_view_gui to an include-statement?

I'm so puzzled,
Michael

Hi,

sorry that I'm interfering your discussion, but I think I have the simular problem.
Since last week I'm running the 3.1 version of eZ Publish and had to integrate all my templates from the old version with this generateoverridesettings.php. After all, it worked correctly and the templates were found.
But how can I implement a new template in 3.1?????? I'm creating a new file "edit_class_49.tpl" in "/design/mysite/override/templates/content" and add this to my override.ini.append:

[edit_class_49]
Source=content/edit.tpl
MatchFile=content/edit_class_49.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=49

In the frontend this template can't be found. I'm also wondering why you are building a new template system in which the old templates don't work automatically...or did I do anything wrong?

Hi Tom,

I think you don't have to use subfolders in your content.ini entry.
Look at this: http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/customization/custom_design/override_templates

Michael
