I copied the "Feedback Form" class and changed it's name to "Consultation Form" and identifier to "consultation" with a view to add more information collector fields later. I added it to the menu.ini through the admin so it shows in the top menu when used but the "Submit" button stopped showing and it just shows the recipient address instead. Does anyone have a clue what I've done wrong???

Did you create override rule for that new content class that points to new template (copied from feedback_form.tpl)?

Nope I didn't. How do I do that? Is there a document that explains it?

I've copied form.tpl and saved it as consultation.tpl It's in \extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\collectedinfomail\ which is probably the wrong place to have it. Can anyone tell me the path of where it should be and how to define it in an override???

Hi Andy,
Copy extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\override\templates\full\feedback_form.tpl to
extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\override\templates\full\consultation_form.tpl Then edit extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\override\templates\full\consultation_form.tpl and add code to display your new attributes. In override.ini.append.php for public siteaccess add new rule:
[full_consultation_form.tpl]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=full/consultation_form.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=consultation_form
Make sure that consultation_form is correct class identifier (I guessed it ;) Clear all the cache and re-load page with your new form. Hope that helps.

Erm... tried it... cleared the cache... all seemed to be working fine... Went back to administration interface to change the priorities and the center pane of it had disappeared :-o Any suggestions ???

You're missing the center pane of the admin interface? Not good. I'm not familiar with that problem, but the first thing I would do it turn on debug output for the admin siteaccess. You should be able to do this from the right side of the admin interface. If you can't, you can edit the site.ini.append.php file in the admin directory under settings/siteaccess/.

It was the override.ini.append.php file in the /settings/override directory that caused the problem. My fault, I edited the wrong one :$ Which override.ini.append.php should I edit and where is it???

The override.ini.append.php file for the public site access can be found in this way: 1. Check yoursite/settings/override/site.ini.append.php. It should have a block called [SiteSettings], and a parameter called DefaultAccess. Remember the DefaultAccess. 2. Go to yoursite/settings/siteacccess. Then go into the directory with the same name as the DefaultAccess. There you should find the proper override.ini.append.php. I'll offer a question back for Łukasz or anyone else who knows. While we can easily place custom templates inside the ezwebin extension, if we ever upgrade that extension they would be lost. Would a best practice be to create another extension (to run together with ezwebin) and put our custom templates there? If so, what's the best way to make sure our extension's templates (probably called from settings/siteaccess/name-of-public-siteaccess) take priority over ezwebin's (whose extension is called in settings/override)?

Apparently, my site access is [eng] so I edited the override.ini.append.php in the appropriate directory and uploaded it but the new form still doesn't work properly. It's back to the original problem of not acting like a form :-|

So what's the correct way of doing this? Is it to copy, edit, rename and upload the feedback_form.tpl (via FTP) Make the additional entry into the siteaccess override file and upload it. Then go to the admin and copy/create the new class so the admin knows what it is? A step by step guide would be nice... Thanks in advance :-)

The forms documentation took a little longer to get written and published than I'd thought. It's now available here: http://ez.no/developer/articles/how_to_create_ez_publish_forms Regards - Paul Wilson
