[SOLVED] Create new resource here doesn't use default template

Hi All,

Using Evolution 1.0.2...

I’ve created a magazine site with 4 templates, including an "article" template and section templates. When I right click on a section, and select "Create resource here", (to create an article), it doesn’t use the article template (which is selected under Tools/Configuration as the default template). Instead it uses the template that the parent section uses, i.e. a section template.

Thus, I have to change the template before posting an article. It’s a big pain.

When I right click on an article, and select create resource, it opens a blank record with the article template -- but I don’t want to do that, because then it ties it to the article as the parent, instead of the section.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Peter,

try disabling the "Inherit Parent Template" plugin

Dear Sharkbait,

Oy, one learns something every day.
I shoulda caught that one.

Your solution worked like a charm. Another kudo for MODx.
’Twasn’t a bug - it was a feature!

:-)

Thanks very much,

Peter
