Trouble With The Override For 'modules/pages'

**jimmy_jazz** · 7 Sep 2004, 12:18 PM

hi

Could someone point me in the right direction.

Im trying to remove the hspace="5" vspace="5" that is applied to the medium image in the product info page.

Ive located the code - its in Modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars_images.php

When i remove the said code from the master file it works as required. Obviously I want to override though. Where do i put the override folder. Sorry if this sound like a dumb question. Ive tried the following and they dont seem to work:

Modules/MY_TEMPLATE/pages/product_info/main_template_vars_images.php

and

Modules/pages/MY_TEMPLATE/product_info/main_template_vars_images.php

Where am i going wrong?

Thanks

jimmy_jazz,

There is no official override at present for the "modules/pages" folder.

However, I just threw this hack together which may help you!

Code:

&#60;?php
// common/main_template_vars.php to permit per-page overrides of the main_template_vars.php scripts in modules/pages
// &#036;Id&#58; main_template_vars.php 2004-09-07 DrByteZen &#036;
// 
// TO USE&#58; 
// 1. Put this file into /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/main_template_vars.php
// 2. Next, under a modules/pages/PAGENAME folder, create a YOURTEMPLATE folder 
//  and insert your customized main_template_vars.php for that page
//  For example&#58;
//   copy&#58;
//    /includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars.php
//   to&#58;
//    /includes/modules/pages/product_info/classic/main_template_vars.php
//  and edit this new file to include the changes you desire to have override the original main_template_vars.php file.
//  NOTE&#58; if the main_template_vars.php calls other files &#40;like main_template_images_vars.php&#41;, you&#39;ll need to manually add
//     your templatename into the path to the main_template_images_vars.php file IF you are trying to override that one too.
//    EXAMPLE&#58;
//    /includes/modules/pages/product_info/classic/main_template_vars.php
//    /includes/modules/pages/product_info/classic/main_template_images_vars.php
//    To use this &#34;classic&#34; version of the main_template_images_vars.php, 
//    you&#39;d have to hard-code the &#34;classic&#34; path into your customized ..../classic/main_template_vars.php file.
//
 if &#40;file_exists&#40;DIR_WS_MODULES . &#39;pages/&#39; . &#036;current_page_base . &#39;/&#39; . &#036;template_dir . &#39;/main_template_vars.php&#39;&#41;&#41; {
  &#036;body_code = DIR_WS_MODULES . &#39;pages/&#39; . &#036;current_page_base . &#39;/&#39; . &#036;template_dir . &#39;/main_template_vars.php&#39;;
 } else if &#40;file_exists&#40;DIR_WS_MODULES . &#39;pages/&#39; . &#036;current_page_base . &#39;/main_template_vars.php&#39;&#41;&#41; {
  &#036;body_code = DIR_WS_MODULES . &#39;pages/&#39; . &#036;current_page_base . &#39;/main_template_vars.php&#39;;
 } else {
  &#036;body_code = &#036;template-&#62;get_template_dir&#40;&#39;tpl_&#39; . preg_replace&#40;&#39;/.php/&#39;, &#39;&#39;,&#036;_GET&#91;&#39;main_page&#39;&#93;&#41; . &#39;_default.php&#39;,DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, &#036;current_page_base,&#39;templates&#39;&#41;. &#39;/tpl_&#39; . &#036;_GET&#91;&#39;main_page&#39;&#93; . &#39;_default.php&#39;;
 }

Thanks, Dr. B! This is exactly what I was looking for, I hope it becomes official. ::tup
