Override files not working

Monday 07 March 2005 3:47:43 am

Dear All,

I asked this question in another part message but titled it wrongly.

Briefly, the override .tpl files created during the making of the tscm site are not activated. Instead the standard /design/standard/templates/node/view/full.tpl file is invoked. I have cheked this by adding HTML code in the full.tpl file.

As far as I can tell all the override .tpl files are correctly placed - they have been placed automatically by the system. e.g. The guest book template override is placed in /design/tscm/override/templates/full_view_guestbook_folder.tpl

The directories are all owned by apache and by group apache (my web server user).

The linkages *seem* correct.

I would appreciate any clues.

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Lukasz,

yes I agree that this file (and all the others I have created) do not seem to be found - a path problem is therefore on the cards as you suggest. I still have not figured out the way Exponential constructs its paths, but I will follow up. The entry for full_view_guestbook_folder.tpl is

[full_view_guestbook_folder]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=full_view_guestbook_folder.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=folder
Match[section]=8

This looks very similar to the all the other overrides - but I have no proof that any of the template overrides are working (mine are definitely NOT owrking). The details all seems correct e.g. section and class_identifier. The only thing I am unsure of in terms of path is the meaning of Subdir=templates. My question I guess is subdir of what dir???

Can you tell me where the full path may be found? I will try and figure it out for myself but any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

open your override.ini.append in an editor.
Usually new entries from the admin-interface are placed at the bottom of the page. If you find your full_view_guestbook-entry there, move it to the top of the override.ini.append.
ez uses the first match. So if ez finds full_folder first, it will never know, that there is a special template for the guestbook section.
Clear your caches. Should work.

Hope, I could help

Hi Christiane,

Thanks for the tip. You may have seen the correspondence with Lukasz.

I have found the entry etc. and will move it up. That may help although I did reprioritize them using the web interface: does not seem to have helped if that is how the system works.

Ciao for now
Andrew
