Including extension templates

I want to include a template, from an extension, in my pagelayout.tpl

I have tried this:

{include uri="design:register_subscription.tpl"}

but the contents of the template do not appear.

The template itself sits here

extension/ezxnewsletter/design/standard/templates/ezxnewsletter/register_subscription.tpl

How do I / Can I include this?

Many thanks

The structure under your design in the extension should be exactly the same as the one you'd put under the regular design.

So to call it as it is you should :
{include uri="design:ezxnewsletter/register_subscription.tpl"}

Check if your extension settings add itself as one providing templates

extension/ezxnewsletter/settings/design.ini.append.php


[ExtensionSettings]
DesignExtensions[]=ezxnewsletter

I've done something similar to this and I assume that you are heading in the same direction.

I've managed to included the registration form in a template and used that template to override the node\full template of a new class (Newsletter Sign up)

What I can work out is how to pass it the id of the list I wish to sign up to.

{def $base_uri=concat( '/newsletter/register_subscription/', $subscriptionList.url_alias )}

That is th action of the form. But I can't work out how to set it.

Ideally I would like a drop down (or something) in my class definintion to set the list for the form to subscribe too.

If i have to set it in the template itself though that's ok.

Any ideas?
