Goal: Successful inheritance of areas from parent page to child pages (child pages are assigned different templates, not the same template as parent page)
Explanation: In v4.5.4, wanting to build new site w/out relying on DemoProject by redesigning it. Started by created 3 templates in Configuration > modules > templating > pages: HomeTemplate, 1ColumnTemplate, and 2ColumnTemplate. The areas I want to have inheritable from the parent HomeTemplate have inheritance content node with data of components=all (String) and enabled=true(Boolean). Also created 3 web pages in AdminCentrals > Website: HomePage, OneColumnPage, TwoColumnPage. The latter two pages are 1st generation children of HomePage. Templates-to-Page assignments are HomeTemplate->HomePage, 1ColumnTemplate->OneColumnPage, 2ColumnTemplate->2ColumnPage. HomeTemplate and 1ColumnTemplate are identical in layout, having 8 areas. 2ColumnTemplate has the main content area represented as 2 area (mainLeft50 and mainRight50). I've assigned dialogs on HomePage/HomeTemplate to allow me to insert images in 7 content areas with stkTextImage. That works fine on HomePage. I expect both child pages should inherit 7 areas from the parent, and should display the text save or images I've uploaded. Current undesired outcome1: Child pages are not displaying text or images in those 7 areas. Current undesired outcome2: When I change one of the child pages to have the same template as the parent page. All 7 areas appear in the child. It appear inheritance works in that instance. But that doesn't solve the issue for the 'child' template that has 2 main areas. Question: What should I be focusing on as I troubleshoot this? (I've endeavored to observe how DemoProject footer is configured but I'm coming up empty as well. Not recognizing how footer does it.) If you recognize something I'm doing wrong. Would appreciate the guidance. thx, shane -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=cd839b11-ecb6-4e83-ac01-d6cc2adb7c07 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
