Claudia Kosny	Friday 24 November 2006 4:32:07 am Hi there I want to override the pagelayout for all views within a certain extension. I don't want to use the layout/set/... functionality as this can cause quite a mess with the links. I read once that you could set some keys in the module.php to use in the override.ini but I could not find this again. Does anyone know a way how to do that?

Jacobo Quiles	Thursday 30 November 2006 2:04:34 am Hi Claudia, i am not sure if i misundrestood your question but i think it's a typical override for the pagelayout template. Just create an override of pagelayout in your extension/yourextensionname/design/yourdesignname/templates No need to create an override if you respect the path structure and the filename. Cheers.

Claudia Kosny	Thursday 30 November 2006 2:27:46 am Hi Jacobo No, this way the pagelayout would be overwritten for the entire siteacess where the extension is activated. I just wanted to have it for certain views with my extension. As these views are not related to a node or a section I would not know how to do it with the existing override conditions. But using setkeys as described in the linked article I can specify the condition that the override.ini looks for, so this works great. Have a nice day Claudia

Hi there

I want to override the pagelayout for all views within a certain extension.

I don't want to use the layout/set/... functionality as this can cause quite a mess with the links.

I read once that you could set some keys in the module.php to use in the override.ini but I could not find this again.

Does anyone know a way how to do that?

Just create an override of pagelayout in your extension/yourextensionname/design/yourdesignname/templates

No need to create an override if you respect the path structure and the filename.

Hi Jacobo

No, this way the pagelayout would be overwritten for the entire siteacess where the extension is activated. I just wanted to have it for certain views with my extension. As these views are not related to a node or a section I would not know how to do it with the existing override conditions.

But using setkeys as described in the linked article I can specify the condition that the override.ini looks for, so this works great.

Have a nice day
