node_view_gui skips output using override

Hi folks,

I'm using eZ 3.8.

I've got a template like this (excerpt):

	{def $oldlinks=fetch(content, list, hash('parent_node_id', $node.node_id, 'class_filter_type', 'include', 'class_filter_array', array('link_mag')))}
	<table style="text-align: center;" class="linkmag_archive_table">
		<tbody>
{foreach $oldlinks as $oldlink}
			<!-- table row from other template -->
{node_view_gui content_node=$oldlink view=archivetable}
{/foreach}

the node_view_gui should spawn another template called linkmag_archive_tablerow.tpl. It is in the override/templates folder of our custom design folder where all other (working) templates are. Here is the override condition (all my other override conditions in the same spot work):

[linkmag_archive_tablerow]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=linkmag_archive_tablerow.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[viewmode]=archivetable
Match[class_identifier]=link_mag

Most of it is copied from other (working) overrides.
However, the node_view_gui command in the template just renders... nothing. At all. I can't even get any debug output about it. Nothing at all.

I've tried changing it to Source=node/view/archivetable.tpl but that changed nothing.

I've cleared the cache several times. The class_identifier is correct, too. The override is the first in override.ini.append.php.
When I delete the override condition (and clear the caches) I get the same.

This problem has truly confounded me and I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Sorry to bump this topic in such a way, but I narrowed down the problem a bit.
It's definitely to do with the custom view, I can put in a full view without problems.

Can someone tell me how I need to set up an override when I'm using my own view mode (i.e. not full, line or anything that exists already)?

Hi Claudia,

thanks, that provided me exactly with the missing information.
Overriding my own node/view template still doesn't seem to work, but I guess I don't need that any more.
