The first is the file name. For the template override, you would call the file default. For an alternative layout, you use a different name. The only rule is that the file name should not have any underscores in it. This allows you to have complex layouts that include multiple files. The initial file to be called is named without underscores and any other files that are called from this initial file will have underscores in the name.
For example, you could have the initial file called mynewlogin. The second important difference is that, unlike template override files which are called automatically whenever the module is displayed using the template with the override, an alternative layout file is only called if you select it as a parameter in the Module Manager.
In version 2. This parameter will list any files without underscores that you have placed in the template folder for this module. You can also translate the file name using the template's system language file. For example, if you add the line. It is important to understand that if specified in the Module Manager screen, an alternative layout file for a module will be used for that module regardless of what template is used to display the page where the module is shown.
It is therefore the administrator's responsibility to make sure that the layout file will work as desired in any templates where this module may be shown. Component alternative layouts work similarly to module layouts discussed above. Again, a file is placed in the same folder where you place a template override file. As with module layouts, the file must not be named the same as the core file and must not include underscores in the name.
Additionally, there should not be an XML file of the same name in this folder. You can set a global value for component layouts in the Options window of the component. For example, in the Article Manager Options window, there is a parameter for Alternative Layout as shown below:. This will create a global value that individual components articles, contacts, news feeds and Web links can inherit from. As with module layouts, the component layouts are shown as parameter options in the individual component edit screen.
For example, for an article, the parameter shows in the Article Options group as shown below. As with other parameters, the Use Global setting will use the setting from the Options parameter.
The From Component's Default setting will use the component's default layout. Alternative layouts that you have created for different templates are shown under each template heading. You can have more than one file for a layout. The initial file must be named without underscores and any additional files must have underscores. Component alternative layouts may be used with articles, contacts, or news feeds.
Web links don't have a single-component layout so no alternative layout is available for Web links. Component alternative layouts are only used when two conditions are met: 1 they are specified in the component parameters; and 2 there is no menu item for this specific component. For example, if you have one or more menu items of type "Single Article" set up for a given article, then the alternative layout for that article will not be used.
Instead, the layout specified in the menu item will be used. This is consistent with the general way that component parameters work, where the most specific in this case a single-article menu item overrides the less specific in this case, the article parameters. Category alternative layouts work identically to component layouts. The rules for specifying layout files are the same.
The only difference is that the folder is the category folder, not the component folder. You can set category layouts globally, in the Options screen of each component. Below is an example from the Contact Manager Options screen:.
Category alternative layouts show up when you add or edit a category in the Category Manager under the Basic Options as shown below.
