IndexPage

Tuesday 29 April 2003 1:16:22 pm

Greetings,

I would first like to thank the developers of eZ publish for creating an
awesome CMS. I'm still trying to put together my first web site using
this system, however, I like what I've seen so far. I'm having a
a problem using a custom IndexPage (frontpage.tpl) that I've created.
I placed the template in the /design/user/templates/node/view
directory. When I try to load the index.php I do not see the contents
of frontpage.tpl in the body of my web page. From another post I
learned that another user was able to create a custom IndexPage file.
I'm new to this system so I might not be doing this correctly. I usually
try to read the documentation before asking for help, and I haven't
been able to find anything that might suggest why this is not working.
The contents of frontpage.tpl is really simple:

{*?template charset=utf8?*}
This is a test.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Lance

I tried placing the frontpage.tpl file in the /design/user/templates directory
and this did not help. I have user set for DefaultAccess and my IndexPage in
site.ini.append.php reads IndexPage=/content/view/frontpage. eZ publish
is pulling my pagelayout.tpl template from /design/user/templates without
any problems. It just doesn't see the frontpage.tpl file when I place it in
/design/user/templates/node/view.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

I've created my own view mode (frontpage.tpl) as follow:

1. In <siteroot>/settings/override/site.ini.append.php
DefaultAccess=user

2. In <siteroot>/settings/siteaccess/user/site.ini.append
[SiteSettings]
IndexPage=/content/view/frontpage/2
DefaultPage=/content/view/frontpage/2
[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=user

3. I have put my "frontpage.tpl" in <siteroot>/design/user/templates/node/view/

And this work for me. I think your problem is because the node_id is missing in your URL and then nothing is retrieve where ez executes the query. So, try using the node_id of root folder (as me).
