Considerations about the override-logic for ini-files

Next topic

Volker Lenz	Friday 06 June 2003 4:24:28 am I wonder how the overriding of ini-files actually works. Two override-modes seem possible and I feel they both could lead to inconsistencies in the effective ini-settings (ini + ini.append) 1. REPLACE-MODE: This would mean that e.g. if you define new array values for site access, the complete site access array is overwritten. (Fine for key-less arrays, not so fine for other settings you simply do not want to change). In "pure" replace-mode, you would have to keep -ALL- settings in your ini.append.file. 2. UPDATE-MODE: In this override-behaviour, new array values for e.g. site access would be appended to the existing values (since there are no array keys to match against). So "pure" update mode is not fine for array-configuration like host maps or site access, but it does not require to keep unchanged ini-values in override-files. I am looking forward to comments clarifying this. Regards Volker

Rules[] ###reset the array

Did anyone actually get template overriding to work in 3.1?

I have a Link class (id 11) that I'd like to have new line tpl for my siteaccess (which is called regular). The template file is called line_link.tpl

So I create settings/siteaccess/regular/override.ini.append with the following content:

[line_link]
Source=node/view/line.tpl
MatchFile=line_link.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=11

but upon loading the folder that contains all links, I still see the normal line template loaded from design/regular/templates/node/view/link.tpl.

Caching is from all I can tell disabled:
EnableCaching=false
TranslationCache=disabled
NodeTreeCaching=disabled
ViewCaching=disabled
CachedViewMode=

What am I missing?
