Template override - Different behaviour in eZpublish 4

Wednesday 20 August 2008 2:58:09 am

Hi there,

Hope somebody can help me.

I designed few sites in ezpublish 3.6.1, while designing there were few templates which I created in /design/news/override/ which automatically overridden /design/base/override/

One of them was
design/news/override/templates/embed/image.tpl

Which overridden
design/base/override/templates/embed/image.tpl

The debug result is:

Version 3.6.1

Requested template	Template		Template loaded

content/view/embed.tpl		embed/image.tpl		design/news/override/
							templates/embed/image.tpl

Now when I upgrade version 3.6.1 to 4.0, I copied all the design/news folder with other upgrade steps... Now the template /design/news/override/embed/image.tpl is not overridding /design/base/over/embed/image.tpl

The debuy result is:

Version 4.0.0

Requested template		Template		Template loaded

content/view/embed.tpl		embed/image.tpl		design/base/override/
							templates/embed/image.tpl

Please help

The only difference I know of is that you in 4.0 need to have overrides in the override folder and directly included templates / system templates in the template directory. But thats not the issue here.

Version 3.6.1:

/design/news/templates/embed/file.tpl
/design/news/templates/embed/image.tpl
/design/news/templates/galleryline/image.tpl
/design/news/templates/galleryslide/image.tpl

These are the templates manually created by me, where as the templates which are created by the system when you create/override through the adminstration interface, they go straight into the /design/news/override/templates.

<b> One thing here to be noted in the above list, I have done same thing for the file as well and the /design/news/templates/embed/file.tpl is overridding the /design/base/templates/embed/file.tpl</b>

<b>It seems a buy for images and gallery images</b>

It is also the same in the version 4.0 as I copied the whole news folder while upgrading.

How is you design settings in site.ini defined? 
And remembered to clear cache(template override cache)? 

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=news
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=base

I cleared all cache and again specially template override cache as well.

Please help

Actually it is the following all the way:

/design/news/templates/embed/image.tpl

What I did, I just moved few directories to the /design/news/override/templates/ which also include embed/image.tpl.... after looking the pattern in new ez4 installation.

It worked, I dont know whether I have done right or wrong, but it seems working. This thing should be the part of the documentation who are doing the upgrades from 3.6.1 to 4.0.0, otherwise their overrides will not work.

<b> Still it is different behaviour than ez3.6.1</b>

Any comments???

Side note: the 3.10.0->4.0.0 upgrade doc mentioned above is now deprecated. (Reason: after 4.0.1 is released, new upgrades should be done to 4.0.1, not 4.0.0.)

The change to the template system is described in the new doc as well:

Hi John,

If you are currently running 3.10.0, the recommended upgrade path is:

3.10.0-->3.10.1-->4.0.1

Make sure you read and follow the upgrade instructions:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/upgrading_to_3_10/from_3_10_x_to_3_10_y
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/upgrading_to_4_0/important_notes
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/upgrading_to_4_0/from_3_10_x_to_4_0_y

(4.0.0 is not recommended because of possible troubles with URL aliases)

Best regards!

I'd say 3.6->3.8->3.9->3.10.1->4.0.1 then, but please read these pages carefully before you start with upgrading:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/how_to_proceed
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/upgrading_from_3_a_b_to_3_x_y

Btw, I will most likely add some small changes to the 3.9.x-->3.10.y upgrade doc in the next couple of days (hopefully nothing serious, but we'll see).

Hi,

Sorry, I cannot help here; don't know what it can be. Perhaps report the problem to http://issues.ez.no

Best regards!

Hi,

Thanks for your kind help. I checked this morning. It is happening at very first step, which is while upgrading from 3.6.1 to 3.8.0. As Andre suggested I have not done step by step in the process of upgrading 3.6.1 to 3.8.0. To be frank there are only two steps:

update/common/scripts/updatemultilingual.php -s <admin_siteaccess>

update/common/scripts/updaterssimport.php -s <admin_siteaccess>

Will let you know after going through each of mentioned above.

One more thing if you can help me:

In the process of upgrading 3.9.0 to 3.10.1

I am running:

php bin/php/ezimportdbafile.php --datatype=ezisbn -s <admin_siteaccess>
php bin/php/ezconvert2isbn13.php --force -s <admin_siteaccess>

The output on the command line is:

Importing DBA File
The database is updated for the datatype: ezisbn
dba-data is imported from the file: kernel/classes/datatypes/ezisbn/share/db_data.dba
Converting isbn13 file
Usage: bin/php/ezconvert2isbn13.php [OPTION]...
eZ Publish ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 converter

Converts an ISBN-10 number to ISBN-13


General options:
  -h,--help        display this help and exit
  -q,--quiet       do not give any output except when errors occur
  -s,--siteaccess  selected siteaccess for operations,
                     if not specified default siteaccess is used
  -d,--debug...    display debug output at end of execution,
                     the following debug items can be controlled:
                     all, accumulator, include, timing, error, warning, debug or notice.
  -c,--colors      display output using ANSI colors (default)
  --no-colors      do not use ANSI coloring
  --logfiles       create log files
  --no-logfiles    do not create log files (default)
  -v,--verbose...  display more information,
                     used multiple times will increase amount of information

Options:
  --class-id=VALUE      The class id for the ISBN attribute.
  --attribute-id=VALUE  The attribute id for the ISBN attribute which should be converted.
  --all-classes         Will convert all ISBN attributes in all content classes.
  -f                    Short alias for force.
  --force               Will convert all attributes even if the class is set to ISBN.

Is the output right?

Cheers

Hi Vidar,

After your reply, I upgraded the system from 3.6.1 to 3.8.12, I am still getting the two locations as mentioned in my eariler post.

I wonder nobody else has got this problem? Everything else working fine without anyproblems...

Tried again with 3.6.1 to 3.6.12 and then 3.6.12 to 3.8.12. Same thing happening. Anyone else, I need to update my sites because I got a notice of one week due to php5 switch over.

Please help.

Cheers
