custom design override.ini problems

Tuesday 22 July 2003 7:03:14 am

Having trouble getting my custom design started. I have created my own design called "ca" it is located in /design/ca. I have added the appropriate settings to get it working and changed the pagelayout.tpl to a design I like. I now would like to setup an override to use a different pagelayout for another section. I have added a section called "access" with the Section ID 4. I created a override.ini file in /design/ca/override/ with the following lines:

[access]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_access.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[section]=4

And I added pagelayout_access.tpl to /design/ca/override/templates with a slightly modified design.

But when I view articles and folders in section 4 they are still rendered the same as the others. All caches have been cleared. Any idea what I missed here?

It appears I put my override file in the wrong place. I added the following lines:

[pagelayout_access]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_access.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[section]=4

In /settings/siteaccess/ca/override.ini.append

It was not very clear in the documentation that this file goes in the settings folder and not in the design folder. Thanks all.
