I have changed the layout of the main article class through the admin area "Setup -> Classes -> Article". I have removed the body field which was an xmlarea and added a new body field which is a textarea. Now when I call pages using pagelayout.tpl I do not get the output from my new body field. It seems to me that getting the right output should be only a matter of changing a single variable in a template file but I can't figure out which one to edit. If anyone could possibly give me a hint as to which template to edit to control the output of calling {$module_result.content} in pagelayout.tpl I would greatly appreciate it.
You have to create an override template for full.tpl. Tutorial: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_welcome_page/creating_and_using_a_custom_template
I've just run into the same problem. Can you tell me specifically how you solved your problem? I'm interested in files you may have changed, where they're located, and any other pertinent info you have on this. Thanks!
