Pb using templates

Wednesday 17 December 2003 1:34:21 am

Hi,

I'm a newbie to EzPublish. I'm using Ez 3.2-3.
For instance, I'm just trying to complete the tutorial and I'm running into troubles when it comes to use templates in order to display the latest news. It doesn't work.
I've done exactly what it says in the tutorial. I don't understand why it doesn't work properly.

(I've got a desing/tscm/override/templates/full_view_news_folder.tpl based on /node/view/full.tpl)

Can anyone help ?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Stéphane

Thanks a lot for you reply !

So far I did the following :
Go to the administration interface
Setup > Templates
Locate "/node/view/full.tpl" > Create New > full_view_news_article
Set the "Class" dropdown box to "Article"
Set the "Selection" dropdown box to "News section"
Base template on > Empty file

edit the full_view_news_article.tpl (in /design/tscm/override/templates)

<h1>Latest news</h1>
{* Grab some of the content of the node that is being viewed. *}
{let children=fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
sort_by, $node.sort_array,
limit, 7,
class_filter_type, include,
class_filter_array, array(
'article' ) ) )}
{* LOOP: For each child of the node... *}
{section name=Child loop=$children}
{* Display the content of the child using a line-view template. *}
{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$Child:item}
<hr>
{* End of loop. *}
{/section}
{* End of namespace. *}
{/let}

I cleared all caches and tried to review the News page (News section). But it doesn't work, it is still using the default template.

One more question, what is the template override and how can I set it up ?

Stephane
