Hi guys.
I'm going through the tutorials, and I'm working with silverstripe 2.3.1.

If I understand tutorial 1 correctly, you can enable a new page type with this flow:

Create NewPageType.php file under code/mysite,
rebuild db,
create new template,
flush cache,
associate the new page type to any given page in the cms

However, when I then request the page for that I've set to have my new page type from my browser, I get the page with the default template.

What am I missing ?

Thanks.

If the template has the same name as the new Model/Controller file the framework will use it to render the controllers data. The template consitst of two files, eg the Page.php uses the template Page.ss and layout/Page.ss (case sensitive).
