Hello,

I'm accostumed right now with the editing of the content/view templates. Now I want to be able to edit the template that is used when I add or edit a new object.

For example I want to let the visitors to comment on the articles. Right now when I click on add comment I see the "default" edit template. How can I change this?

Should I use the override.ini just like i do when changing the "view" templates?
Thnx.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I want the template engine to load instead of the default:
design/standard/templates/content/edit.tpl

this one for exapmle:
design/my_design/override/templates/my_edit.tpl

How can I accomplish this?
I Hope you can help me.

Yes, you should use the override ini file.

Read this documentation to see how to do this:

I'm doing this, but still it's not working.
This is the override.ini

[edit_comment]
Source=content/edit.tpl
MatchFile=edit_comment.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=27

I cleared everything using the clearcache.sh script

does:

http://<your-admin-site>/setup/templateview/content/edit.tpl

inform you that your override is in place?

also, take a look at the file permissions of your new template. the server may not be able to read it.

There was no templates override assigned to content/edit.tpl. Very strange, because the chmod of the files are all 644 so it should be readable by the server.

But ok now I'm clicking on Create New. I give it the correct name, class etc.. but when I click on Create I'm not seeing no form field, where I can enter something for the newly created template.
