Randeep Walia	Monday 20 September 2004 12:43:13 pm I am trying to change the confirmation default template for the Feedback Form provided in the root node with 3.4.1. installation. However, I can't seem to find it. I can see it is referenced by the URL site_name/content/collectedinfo/58 where 58 is the node_id of my feedback form. I have found a collectedinfo.tpl file in my design/standard/templates/content directory but this only seems to correspond with the top half of the template- that which lists the collected information. The results screen I get shows that output, followed by a 'Return to site' link that takes the user back to the home page. Does anyone have any information on overriding this area? __________________________________ Randeep Walia is http://www.rundeep.net powered by EZ Publish
Bård Farstad	Tuesday 21 September 2004 12:54:09 am If you have a look at the standard Exponential 3.4 installation there is an example of a simple feedback form. This form has overrides for the collection mail, it is located in design/base/override/templates/collectedinfomail/feedback_form.tpl. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Randeep Walia	Tuesday 21 September 2004 11:46:02 pm I'm aware of that template, however, did you realize that when you fill out the sample contact form that is installed in the Plain design with EZ 3.4.1 (provided you requested it be included) that the screen lists the results and ALSO gives the option to 'Return to site' which I don't see in the template you mentioned. Where does this template exist? __________________________________ Randeep Walia is http://www.rundeep.net powered by EZ Publish
Randeep Walia	Monday 27 September 2004 9:07:42 am I found the little bugger. It's at design/standard/templates/content/collectedinfo I should have just done a search for the string 'Return to site' I saw, but I haven't made it a habit of looking things up this way because I figured that it was going through the translation operator and would bring back anything. __________________________________ Randeep Walia is http://www.rundeep.net powered by EZ Publish
Paul Forsyth	Monday 27 September 2004 9:47:13 am Yip, i 'grep' everything in 'design/standard' when i cant find the template! paul
Daniela Moreno	Friday 05 November 2004 9:17:00 am i also want to change that template but ummmh should i? since its not an override?
Paul Forsyth	Friday 05 November 2004 10:28:06 am You should create an override where possible. Good working practice :) But changing the original will have the same effect. paul
Daniela Moreno	Friday 05 November 2004 10:45:19 am so theres no difference if i create an override or just change the template on standard?
Paul Forsyth	Friday 05 November 2004 11:38:04 am No. But if you plan to upgrade your version of ez you will find it difficult if you change the standard templates. Also, you can override in a variety of ways, matching by node, by class etc. It really depends on your need. paul
Daniela Moreno	Friday 05 November 2004 1:23:26 pm ohh, ok thank you by the way, does anybody know why when i receive an email from the feedback form, i only receive the subject and the message, and i dont get the email from the person who filled the form?
Daniela Moreno	Monday 08 November 2004 9:39:11 am ok, so i already create my override template and specified my override rules in override.ini [collected_feedback_form] Source=content/collectedinfo/form.tpl MatchFile=collectedinfo/feedbackform.tpl Subdir=templates Match[class]= '16' But its not working, it keeps showing the same template. Hope u can help me...
