ezwebin Template Overrides

Friday 22 December 2006 10:50:01 am

I modified menu/flat_top.tpl through the admin interface, but the override template was not used in the display.

I'm not sure it if is a bug, or if this template is not intended to be modified.

As a side note, this is the modification:

I created a new class called <b>Navigation</b>, which consists of two attributes, a <i>name</i> and an <i>object relation list</i>. Next, I created the content and related it to the items I wanted in the navigation. Finally, I modified the template to use the node, and added an <b>Edit</b> link (using the eZ logo image). This allows the navigation of ezwebin to be managed by through the website interface in addition to the admin interface. It also allows content to be 'hidden' by preventing its display in the navigation.

$top_menu_root_node is the node which contains the object relation list. I just hard-coded the node id (145) in to the template, a more graceful approach is certainly possible.

<b>menu/flat_top.tpl</b>

 <div class="topmenu-design">
    <!-- Top menu content: START -->
        <ul>
        {def $root_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', $indexpage ) )
        $top_menu_root_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', 145 ) )
        $top_menu_items=fetch( 'content', 'related_objects',hash( 'object_id',$top_menu_root_node.contentobject_id,'all_relations', true()) )
        $top_menu_items_count = $top_menu_items|count()
        $item_class = array() $item = array()
        $current_node_in_path = cond(and($current_node_id, gt($module_result.path|count, $pagerootdepth)), $module_result.path[$pagerootdepth].node_id, 0
)}
    {set $pagerootdepth = $root_node.depth}
        {if $top_menu_root_node.can_edit}
        <li class="edit-nav"><a href={concat('/content/edit/',$top_menu_root_node.contentobject_id)|ezurl} title="Edit navigation items"><img src={'images/

    {if $top_menu_items_count}
       {foreach $top_menu_items as $key => $item_obj}
            {set $item = $item_obj.main_node}
            {set $item_class = cond($current_node_in_path|eq($item.node_id), array("selected"), array())}
            {if $key|eq(0)}

Kristof,

I tried to use the admin console to create the override template, and it looked like it created it in the ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates directory, but the changes didn't take effect.

My solution was just to modify the ezwebin/design/ezwebin/design/menu/flat_top.tpl file, which worked well.
