Rinze Cats	Thursday 08 April 2004 2:55:48 am Hi, I am building a site that has a homepage which is distinctively different from the rest of the site. How can I use an alternate pagelayout.tpl for my homepage? I read in an article comment that it is possible, but it didn't say how? From within the pagelayout.tpl i could use sections to adjust the behaviour. This is noce for assigning a different stylesheet per section, but not so nice when all html code needs to be replaced ;-) greetz rinze
Alex Jones	Thursday 08 April 2004 6:11:09 am Like any other template, you can override the pagelayout.tpl for that specific node. Here is an example: [pagelayout_main_page] Source=pagelayout.tpl MatchFile=pagelayout_main_page.tpl Subdir=templates Match[node]=2 You will need to tweak it a bit to ensure the right template is called, but it should work. :) Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>

Hi,

I am building a site that has a homepage which is distinctively different from the rest of the site. How can I use an alternate pagelayout.tpl for my homepage?

Like any other template, you can override the pagelayout.tpl for that specific node. Here is an example:

[pagelayout_main_page]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_main_page.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=2

You will need to tweak it a bit to ensure the right template is called, but it should work. :)
