How would I (in Concrete 5 5.7) Force a Specific Block to use a Custom Template?

Permalink
Hi all,

I hope you can help with a problem.

I have a specific editable area ($a) within which I would like all image blocks to default to a custom image template - but only image blocks in that area, not globally.

I've tried

$a= new Area('Product Images');
$a->setBlockLimit(4);
$a->setCustomTemplate('image', 'templates/product_thumbnail_image.php');


but this does not cause the image blocks to default to the template found at /application/blocks/image/templates/product_thumbnail_image.php

I have tried to follow the guidance in the documents but this is not working for me.

Can someone help me achieve this?

Hi Ambulare,

You left out "$a->display($c);".

Was that a typo?

$a = new Area('Product Images');
$a->setBlockLimit(4);
$a->setCustomTemplate('image', 'templates/product_thumbnail_image.php');
$a->display($c);

Hello, yes I left that off just to save space, it is present in the real code.
