Article and templates

Glenn MacGregor	Tuesday 02 December 2003 12:34:01 pm Hi all, I am having some trouble with articles and template files. I am using ezp3.2 on linux. I have overridden the article class under the full template and that works great, all articles are as I want them. Now I have created a new section "techsupport" and added a directory to that section "test". In that dir I added an article, which comes up as expected. I want all articles in that section to look a bit different so I added a new template under 'full.tpl' with a class of 2 and section of 9 (which is techsupport). I have cleared the cache and the article still comes up with the class wide overridden template. Is there a way to have a class wide override and then a more specific override for that class? Thanks
Alex Jones	Tuesday 02 December 2003 12:49:58 pm Yes, it is possible. Make sure that the more specific override (section + class) is above the less specific override (just the class) in your override.append.ini file. eZ publish will use the first override it reads that applies to the template, by placing the more specific one first you ensure that it is used for section 9, but not for other sections.

A specific override, e.g.: [link_line_topnav] Source=node/view/line.tpl MatchFile=link_line_topnav.tpl Subdir=templates Match[class]=11 Match[section]=4 [generalview_link] Source=node/view/line.tpl MatchFile=node/view/line.tpl Subdir=templates Match[class]=11 Will result in an override of all Links with the more specific one. (I'm using ezpublish 3.3-1). If you change order, the more specific is completely ignored (as expected).

No it isn't! A specific override, e.g.:

[link_line_topnav]
Source=node/view/line.tpl
MatchFile=link_line_topnav.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=11
Match[section]=4

[generalview_link]
Source=node/view/line.tpl
MatchFile=node/view/line.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=11

Will result in an override of all Links with the more specific one. (I'm using ezpublish 3.3-1). If you change order, the more specific is completely ignored (as expected).
