Hi,

After a new content class creation, how can I refer/add a template to this class?
How does it works globally?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alain

If you create an example of your new class [using the admin interface] & navigate to it you'll be presented with a default template complete with a link to create a custom template for your class.

I now have to work out how to set up line templates for new classes, so if you suss it...

You can also modify the override.ini.php file. The file might be here:

[yoursite.com]/settings/site_access/[site_access]/override.ini.append.php

In it, you can control all the template overrides for objects, classes, etc. like this:

[your_class_name]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=class/your_template_file.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=your_class_name

Hope this helps.

Luke - can I use this technique to point to a custom line template?

Thanks

Steve P, I'd suggest you to read the doc on that topic (This one is rather complete).

Always a good idea ;-)
Must have missed this one. Can you point me in the right direction please?
