j jevack	Saturday 29 October 2005 8:36:49 am I need to override a template I created. Here is what I am attempting to accomplish: I created a pagelayout.tpl which contains a header.tpl and footer.tpl and a default_content.tpl. I want to override the default_content.tpl for different sections of the website so as to present a unique 'look' for each department of the company. I have each department setup as a folder object. Some departments are closely related and will share a 'look', so I created sections that hold these closely related departments. I want to apply an override for each section. After reading the docs, I planned on setting the override keys to Class=All Classes and Section=Department1. However, I do not have the keys interface presented when setting an override on my template. I have managed to override the template by manually adding an entry to the override.ini file. I have two questions: first, am I using the template override system correctly and second, why isn't the override keys interface presented when attempting override the template I created? Thanks, Jason

I need to override a template I created. Here is what I am attempting to accomplish:

I created a pagelayout.tpl which contains a header.tpl and footer.tpl and a default_content.tpl. I want to override the default_content.tpl for different sections of the website so as to present a unique 'look' for each department of the company.

I have each department setup as a folder object. Some departments are closely related and will share a 'look', so I created sections that hold these closely related departments. I want to apply an override for each section. After reading the docs, I planned on setting the override keys to Class=All Classes and Section=Department1.
