Set another main template
21 July 2010 at 3:20am
Normally I create a new ExamplePage extends Page to use templates/ExamplePage.ss as another main template.
But for my module I need one main template for all classes (not the default Page.ss). So I added a page type and its template. Every class extends this new page class, but no class use the template... any idea?
Also another Page.ss in my module templates folder doesn't work. -

This is the way the logic works for template selection:
Select main template for ClassName:
- Does theme_dir/templates/ClassName.ss exist?
- No? Is there a module where templates/ClassName.ss is defined?
- No? Try again with parent of ClassName.ss (e.g. Page.ss)Select layout template for ClassName:
- Does theme_dir/templates/Layout/ClassName.ss exist?
- No? Is there a module with templates/Layout/ClassName.ss defined?
- No? Try again with parent of ClassName.ss (e.g. Page.ss)Therefore, if you have a class SomePage extends Page, and you've defined /your_theme/templates/SomePage.ss, it will use the main template SomePage.ss.
It SomePage extends ParentPage, and SomePage.ss does not exist, it will look for ParentPage.ss. If that doesn't exist, it will fall back on Page.ss. The same logic applies to the main template as it does the Layout template.

Yes, I thought this is the way it goes, but not for me?!
for example we have
- module/code/ClassName.php <- extends Page
- module/code/ClassChildName.php <- extends ClassNameI have a
- theme_dir/templates/ClassName.ss
and a
- module_dir/templates/ClassName.ssClassChildName isn't a subclass in the sitetree... is this a problem? I don't think so
An existing page of type ClassName is displayed by ClassName.ss but not its class children like ClassChildName.
mhm what could it be...

So instead of ChildClassName.ss displaying, what is?

Page.ss of course. there is no ChildClassName.ss, otherwise it would use it, but the next template has to be ClassName.ss, but it uses Page.ss

You might try ?debug_request=1 to get a peek at what is going on inside the template selection process.

thx, I didn't know this debug param to display the process.
OK I translate it into our example:
here it goes for ChildClassName extends ClassName and ChildClassName is a subclass in sitetree of OtherClassDebug line for SSViewer says:
Selecting templates from the following list: ChildClassName, OtherClass, Page, ContentControllerWhat about ClassName?
