Feedback forms- changing the collectedinfo template

I am trying to change the confirmation default template for the Feedback Form provided in the root node with 3.4.1. installation. However, I can't seem to find it.

I can see it is referenced by the URL site_name/content/collectedinfo/58 where 58 is the node_id of my feedback form. I have found a collectedinfo.tpl file in my design/standard/templates/content directory but this only seems to correspond with the top half of the template- that which lists the collected information. The results screen I get shows that output, followed by a 'Return to site' link that takes the user back to the home page.

Does anyone have any information on overriding this area?

If you have a look at the standard eZ publish 3.4 installation there is an example of a simple feedback form. This form has overrides for the collection mail, it is located in design/base/override/templates/collectedinfomail/feedback_form.tpl.

I'm aware of that template, however, did you realize that when you fill out the sample contact form that is installed in the Plain design with EZ 3.4.1 (provided you requested it be included) that the screen lists the results and ALSO gives the option to 'Return to site' which I don't see in the template you mentioned.

Where does this template exist?

I found the little bugger. It's at design/standard/templates/content/collectedinfo

I should have just done a search for the string 'Return to site' I saw, but I haven't made it a habit of looking things up this way because I figured that it was going through the translation operator and would bring back anything.

You should create an override where possible. Good working practice :) But changing the original will have the same effect.

so theres no difference if i create an override or just change the template on standard?

No.

But if you plan to upgrade your version of ez you will find it difficult if you change the standard templates. Also, you can override in a variety of ways, matching by node, by class etc. It really depends on your need.

ok, so i already create my override template and specified my override rules in override.ini

[collected_feedback_form]
Source=content/collectedinfo/form.tpl
MatchFile=collectedinfo/feedbackform.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]= '16'

But its not working, it keeps showing the same template.
Hope u can help me...
