I have placed this code...

{def $specials=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', 64 ) )}
<a href="{$specials.parent.url_alias|ezurl(no)}">{$specials.parent.name|wash()}</a>

Now i get displays "Special" Text with link. when i click on this link i get the URL which i expect i.e http://localhost/example2/index.php/plain_site/specials......but in content i the display is folder name, title of the article with link, brief summury of article and ream more link. i want to display the full article in this page.

Following is the code in special.tpl

{$module_result.content}

Following is the code in override.php

[Concierge]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=concierge.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=137 // Folder Node ID

Here is a answer

Q:-Your "Specials" folder is NodeID 137?
Ans :- Sorry for the confusion. "concierge" folder is NodeID 137.......

Q Inside this folder is an article "Make The Most Of Your Stay At Our London" with NodeID 64?
Ans :- Yes, inside the folder "concierge" i have article "Make The Most Of Your Stay At Our London" with NodeID 76

Q:-You have an override setting for the pagelayout for specials!? - And this template named "concierge.tpl"?
Ans:- I have an override setting for the pagelayout for Concierge!? - And this template named "concierge.tpl"

Following is the Override i have used.

[Concierge]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=concierge.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=76

Now if i use the anchor link as follows i get the proper URL, Tempelate and full content
<a href={'/content/view/full/76'|ezurl()}>Concierge Services</a>
URL:- http://localhost/example2/index.php/plain_site/content/view/full/76

in URL i done want to display content/view/full/76.......instead i want to display the
URL:- http://localhost/example2/index.php/plain_site/concierge-services

I tried with following link but it didn't work. it display pagelayout.template and content with folder name, article title with link and summery with read more link......

<a href={'/concierge'|ezurl()}>Concierge Services</a>

I am still facing problem with URL allies.

I have a “pagelayout.tpl” which is template for homepage; this pagelayout.tpl is placed in the location. “example2\design\plain_site\templates\pagelayout.tpl”. Now i created the folder called “concierge” with Node ID “137” inside this folder I have article with Node ID “76” and the title for this article is “Make The Most Of Your Stay At Our London Charing Cross Hotel”.

Now I have a template called “concierge.tpl” which is placed in the location “example2\design\plain_site\override\templates\ concierge.tpl”. I want to override the “pagelayout.tpl” when I go to concierge page.

I have placed this override code in “site.ini.append.php” which is located in the location “example2\settings\override”. Following is the override rule.

[Concierge]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=concierge.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=76

Now in my left currently I am calling Concierge page as follows

<a href={'/content/view/full/76'|ezurl()}>Concierge Services</a>

now when I click on this link, I will get a correct template, with full tempelate and URL with http://localhost/example2/index.php/plain_site/content/view/full/76

My requirement is I don’t want to display “content/view/full/76” I just want to display friendly URL like http://localhost/example2/index.php/plain_site/Concierge-service.....

I tried all your suggestions, but it didn’t work,
