In doing that, I have encountered the line below: {node_view_gui view=forumline content_node=$Child:item} Having this line in on of my other templates, produces the data I want, but not in the way that I want. So I have to edit (or probably override) the template behind "forumline". But how do I do that? I paged through the 32 pages of templates, found noone by the name "forumline" (I might have overlooked it, though). Is it there?

But you're right your should learn about overrides! http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_news_page/overview_of_the_latest_news Is a good (if basic) example. Pay attention to changes in settings/[siteaccess]/override.ini.append :) Regards, James

The example in my first post suddenly started working, I'm not sure why :), but now I have similar problems with my next step. I have a template forumtopic.tpl, that I want to be used for the class Forum topic. I have made this class through the admin setup (Class ID 16), and have "instantiated" this class under a folder. I put forumtopic.tpl under design/mysite/override/templates, and edit the settings/siteaccess/mysite/override.ini.append file, adding [forumtopic] Source=node/view/full.tpl MatchFile=forumtopic.tpl Subdir=templates Match[class]=16 Match[section]=7 (I have tried both with and without the last line.) But it still does not work. Some other standard template is used. What should I do so that my new template will be used? The version I'm using is 3.3-1, if that's related.

I'm trying to implement a forum on my site by copying stuff from the eZ forum
template. In doing that, I have encountered the line below:

{node_view_gui view=forumline content_node=$Child:item}

Having this line in on of my other templates, produces the
data I want, but not in the way that I want. So I have to edit (or probably
override) the template behind "forumline". But how do I do that? I paged through
the 32 pages of templates, found noone by the name "forumline" (I might have
overlooked it, though). Is it there?

You <i>have</i> to create an override, you could just create a new template and do something like this:

{node_view_gui view=newtemplate content_node=$Child:item} (view specifies name of template to use don't put .tpl on though!)

But you're right your should learn about overrides!

There is still something I do not understand. The example in my first post suddenly started working, I'm not sure why :), but now I have similar problems with my next step.

I have a template forumtopic.tpl, that I want to be used for the class Forum topic.
I have made this class through the admin setup (Class ID 16), and have "instantiated" this class under a folder.

I put forumtopic.tpl under design/mysite/override/templates, and edit the settings/siteaccess/mysite/override.ini.append file, adding

[forumtopic]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=forumtopic.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=16
Match[section]=7

(I have tried both with and without the last line.) But it still does not work. Some other standard template is used. What should I do so that my new template will be used?

The version I'm using is 3.3-1, if that's related.
