I have the following definition of site designs

SiteDesign=folder1/my_design_1
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=folder2/my_design_2
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=folder3/my_design_3
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=base

I have two files called template.tpl: one in in base folder and one in folder2/my_design_2. I realised, that Exponential always is displaying the one from the base folder. Even when I renamed it to 'main' - ezP still was ignoring the file located in folder2. The only way to display template from folder2 is to delete the file from base folder.

So my question is: what is the order Exponential searches design folders. Can I have any control over it?

Hi Lukasz,

this article is not exactly what I need. It says "The system will sequentially go through all the additional designs, looking for the requested file". I realised, that if I have two versions of file with same name in different additional designs folders Exponential always finds one and ignores the other.

Basically my question is in what order Exponential searches AdditionalSiteDesignList. My experience is that this order do not depend om the order that these designs are listed in .ini file

Hi Piotr

There is a bug in eZ with how it handles multiple AdditionalSiteDesignList[] values. See
