Claudia Kosny	Friday 24 November 2006 4:32:07 am Hi there I want to override the pagelayout for all views within a certain extension. I don't want to use the layout/set/... functionality as this can cause quite a mess with the links. I read once that you could set some keys in the module.php to use in the override.ini but I could not find this again. Does anyone know a way how to do that?

Jacobo Quiles	Thursday 30 November 2006 2:04:34 am Hi Claudia, i am not sure if i misundrestood your question but i think it's a typical override for the pagelayout template. Just create an override of pagelayout in your extension/yourextensionname/design/yourdesignname/templates No need to create an override if you respect the path structure and the filename. Cheers.

Claudia Kosny	Thursday 30 November 2006 2:27:46 am Hi Jacobo No, this way the pagelayout would be overwritten for the entire siteacess where the extension is activated. I just wanted to have it for certain views with my extension. As these views are not related to a node or a section I would not know how to do it with the existing override conditions. But using setkeys as described in the linked article I can specify the condition that the override.ini looks for, so this works great. Have a nice day Claudia

Hi there

I want to override the pagelayout for all views within a certain extension.

I don't want to use the layout/set/... functionality as this can cause quite a mess with the links.

I read once that you could set some keys in the module.php to use in the override.ini but I could not find this again.

Does anyone know a way how to do that?

Hi Jacobo

No, this way the pagelayout would be overwritten for the entire siteacess where the extension is activated. I just wanted to have it for certain views with my extension. As these views are not related to a node or a section I would not know how to do it with the existing override conditions.

But using setkeys as described in the linked article I can specify the condition that the override.ini looks for, so this works great.

Have a nice day
