overriding template

I've overrided frontpage.tpl in my extension: I put that file in "extension/myextension\design\ezwebin\override\templates\frontpage.tpl.

I write in override.ini.append this condition:

[frontpage override]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=frontpage.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=frontpage

But It doesn't work. The problem is that there's another override of the same template in another extension in "extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/full/frontpage.tpl" that probably has higher priority.

How to change that?

Hi,
if i have understand,
you had created an design extension called myextension for an existing design<<ezwebin>>.

are you sure that your extension is activate?
could you tell me where are you store your override.ini?
you must store it in your case in:

extension/myextension/design/settings/override.tpl.

.

best regards

My extension is active.

I didn't choose "ezwebin" as design, I just try to override the template when debug was on, and the flag "show used template" was selected, and Exponential created a copy of template.tpl in that directory (myext/design/ezwebin/override/template...)

Actually in design I've "ezwebin" and "standard".
Do I need them? I'm a bit confused.

However, my override.ini.append.php is in /extension/myextension/settings/ with other ini file...
