Templates overriding : a small Tutorial

Didactic Example # 2:

Another example but with the "waiting contents" from the Extensible Waiting Block Module module.

0a 0b 0c 0d Same as example 1

1) First let's download the template block file:
admin system / templates / Waiting Contents Extensible [i]list / line waiting_block_waiting.html, [Download]

 <{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}> 
<{$module.name}> 
<ul> 
  <{foreach item=pending from=$module.pending}> 
  <li> 
    <{if $pending.pendingnum}> 
      <span style='font-weight:bold;'> 
    <{else}> 
      <span style='font-weight:normal;'> 
    <{/if}> 
 
      <a href="<{$pending.adminlink}>"><{$pending.lang_linkname}>a>:<{$pending.pendingnum}> 
    span> 
  li> 
  <{/foreach}> 
ul> 
<{/foreach}>

2) Let's modify the file you just downloaded and now have locally.

 <{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}> 
[color=FF0000]<b>[/color]<{$module.name}>[color=FF0000]b>[/color] 
<ul> 
  <{foreach item=pending from=$module.pending}> 
  <li> 
      <a href="<{$pending.adminlink}>"><{$pending.lang_linkname}>a> :  
    <{if $pending.pendingnum}> 
      [color=FF0000]<font color=red><b>[/color]<{$pending.pendingnum}>[color=FF0000]b>font>[/color] 
    <{else}> 
      <{$pending.pendingnum}> 
    <{/if}> 
  li> 
  <{/foreach}> 
ul> 
[color=FF0000]<hr />[/color] 
<{/foreach}>

3) If my theme is 7dana-soft, via ftp, go to the directory
/themes/dana-soft Let's create the directory modules then down and create directory waiting then down and create directory blocks

4) Let's upload the local file waiting_block_waiting.html to /themes/dana-soft/modules/waiting/blocks/ on the server.

5) Let's delete files in the /template_c directory (except index.html) (or update modules cache) to see the result...
