Tofig Hamidov	Monday 05 July 2004 4:39:10 pm Dear colleagues, I begin experimenting with EZ and just completed 'Building an Exponential site' manual. In the building news archive section of the website they used quite interesting approach and instead of making another object they just created another representation of the news folder (archive view). I was wondering whether it is possible to create more than one view for same object. Something like 'last month archive' and 'complete archive' views for example... Does anyone have ever done something like that? Thanks in advance! Tofig
Paul Borgermans	Monday 12 July 2004 12:30:45 pm I hope you already found this out, but yes it can fairly easily be done. One way is to create new viewmodes (other than full, line, ..) by creating a new template in the <b>/design/<yourdesign>/templates/node/view</b> directory. You can then also use overrides on this new "view mode". Another way is to use userdefined parameters, eg http://www.example.com/content/view/full/(fullmonth)/yes and use the value set in $view_parameters.fullmonth to change the template logic accordingly. hth -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
