I want to change the layout of my homepage. I know 'overrides' is how I accomplish this. 'pagelayout.tpl' is the main template file. In order to override this, I need to make a copy and place it at: design/ezwebin_site/override/templates/ . Now I need to change the 'override.ini.append.php' file located at: settings/siteaccess/ Inside the 'override.ini.append.php' file I place: [pagelayout_override] (I can name this anything, correct?) Source=design/standard/templates/pagelayout.tpl (this is the path to the pagelayout.tpl file I'm overriding) MatchFile=<pagelayoutcopy.tpl> (MatchFile = whatever I name the new file that will override the previous file) Subdir=templates I know I can also add 'Match[class_identifier]=' here for special instances, but I don't believe I need it in this case, correct? Thanks for your guidance, Brian

Also note that Subdir=templates refers to override/templates in your siteaccess. I normally test that the override is working by putting <h1>New Pagelayout</h1> at the top to the template copy. Also, if it doesn't seem to work clear the cache. [frontpagelayout] Source=pagelayout.tpl MatchFile=frontpagelayout.tpl Subdir=templates Match[node]=373 Paul Bolger

Hello,

I am fairly new to eZ Publish, so please excuse my ignorance. I've been reading as much as possible to get up-to-speed.

I want to change the layout of my homepage. I know 'overrides' is how I accomplish this. 'pagelayout.tpl' is the main template file. In order to override this, I need to make a copy and place it at: design/ezwebin_site/override/templates/ .

Now I need to change the 'override.ini.append.php' file located at: settings/siteaccess/

Inside the 'override.ini.append.php' file I place:

[pagelayout_override]

(I can name this anything, correct?)

Source=design/standard/templates/pagelayout.tpl

(this is the path to the pagelayout.tpl file I'm overriding)

MatchFile=<pagelayoutcopy.tpl>

(MatchFile = whatever I name the new file that will override the previous file)

Subdir=templates

I know I can also add 'Match[class_identifier]=' here for special instances, but I don't believe I need it in this case, correct?

Thanks for your guidance,

Brian
