I've read the article on override templates but to be totally honest I don't understand it.

How do I structure the override ini entry to change the homepage on an ezwebin installation from:-

extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/pagelayout.tpl

to use

extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/pagelayout_my_design.tpl

where my homepage is node 2

It's the paths to the appropriate files I can't figure out :-s

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to override a template you can do that in two ways:

Plament: Put you own template with the same name and sme placment but in another design (one that has higher priority then the one you override).

Override system: place the file with a uniq name in the override folder (preferably in your own design, but for now just let it be in the ezwebin design) and add a entry in override.ini

In your case:

[my_pagelayout_design]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_my_design.tpl
Subdir=templates

Thanks Andre.

Although, will that entry override the homepage node?
