I just want to share some information, so i hopefully can help somebody to not waste hours just to find out the same as i did.
System: Exponential 3.0_2.
Os: Win Xp. I am setting up a test site, and one of the first thing i did, was to alter the site.ini file. DefaultAccess="designname"
Then created the folder: \Settings\siteaccess\"designname".
and create the site.ini.append file inside this folder
Went on to create the next folder: \design/"designname"\
and the following folder inside this folder:
Stylesheets -- Css file
Override -- Templates
images -- images used by templates
sub folders inside override is as follows:
Override
-- Templates I created the pagelayout.tpl file for standard viewing when the user came to the www.designname.com.
Then i logged in ez publisher 3 admin section.
Created 2 folder in the Content area.
1. Home
2. Away
Got in the Set up area. clicked on Sections in the left menu.
And there i created 2 new sections.
1. Home - Id:11
2. Away - Id:12 After that pushed the paper clip so that i could assign the new sections to the folder in Content area.
Eg: Home folder -> section 11
Away folder -> section 12 Then logged out. Created the following files in the \design\"designname"\Override\Templates
1. pagelayout_section_11.tpl (for the Home folder)
2. pagelayout_section_12.tpl (for the Away folder) Then everything should be ok? (Links is now in the pagelayout.tpl set to go to the right folder/section)
I go to the site, click on the Home link, but nothing happens.
I click on the Away link nothing happens other then i get the pagelayout.tpl over and over again. Tried to adjust every possible thing araoud the system. But nothing helps. Then after aproximate 8 hours i remove the pagelayout.tpl file. VOILA. Everything is A OK. It seems that the pagelayout.tpl takes presedence no matter what.
even if the pagelayout.tpl file lies in the
\design\"designname"\Template folder it takes presedence over pagelayout_section_XX.tpl files.
(As i tried this afterwards) There is no mentioning of this in any documentation, and i wasted a perfectly good day just finding out this simple thing. I hope this can help someone, so they dont have to waste their time... regards Tore
