Page Type Defualts - where did they go?
Permalink
Hi All -
I am trying to make the conversion from 5.4.2.2 to 5.6.0.2 ... the upgrade is done, but now all of my page templates are broken.
My custom templates had contained the basic structure & background. Then I used the page type defaults area to insert global blocks that contained headers, sidebars, etc. so that when a new page was added to the site all the basic elements where there.
But now with the "stacks" I don't see a way to attach a stack to page type in certain block area. So, when I go to add a new page, now the only items that appear from the page type is the background from the custom template.
Can anyone help me out???

Hi Ekko -
My problem is that there is no "defaults" anymore when I go to Page Types, my only options are settings & composer... screen shots attached.

Hi All -
If anyone else was using a strategy like mine in the past - thanks to jordanlev - I have a new process.
Call Global Blocks in your custom templates.
If you have a custom template & insert a call to a global block, whatever you name that block - it will show up in your stack listings. Add your code to the stacks & it will show up everywhere that you use that page type.
Global Stack Call:
Hope that makes sense.

<?php $a = new GlobalArea('whatever'); $a->display($c); ?>

Go to page types, select defaults, hover over edit and select permissions , allow admins to edit.
