I have made a module named XXX with a template overview like in the tutorial;
my probleme is that i need to override the page layout in this template.
I have put in the first place of override.ini.append in my good site access,

[XXXPagelayout]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=newsletter_layout.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[url_alias]=XXX/overview

But it does not seem to work.
More over i do not have any node_id in this template.
If somebody deal with that, thx in advance...

In the view of your module, you will need to make an instance of eZTemplateDesignResource and call it's method setKeys.

For an example, look at kernel/content/view.php.

I m not sure that i have greatly understood ... i have checked ernel/content/view.php;
With

$res =& eZTemplateDesignResource::instance();
$keys =& $res->keys();

I can change key['layout'] and by the way, changing the page_layout of my module ?

oups i think i find it here
http://ez.no/community/bugs/extension_with_settings_override_ini_append_breaks_ezp_override_system/template_overriding

1. settings/override.ini - the main overrides (we don't recomend to change these settings).
2. settings/siteaccess/<your_siteaccess>/override.ini.append.php - current siteaccess overrides.
[[[[3. extension/<your_extension>/settings/override.ini.appens.php - extension overrides.]]]]
4. settings/override/override.ini.append.php - global overrides.

In the view of your module, you need to define the keys for the Match[] setting of your override group.

In <i>kernel/content/view.php</i>, the keys are class, class_identifier etc., which you can use with Match[] in override.ini.append.

Search kernel/content/view.php for "$res->setKeys", and you will find what you are looking for.
