Broken SilverStripe Template

votes

For some reason, after doing a ?flush=all, a certain page type is not able to locate it's default template. I figure out that it's not loading it's template file after appending showtemplate=1 to the URL. The dumped raw template shows nothing for the default template.

Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uMLefAsP

I wish someone could point me to the right direction here, for I have no idea where to start debugging.

Thanks, Jan.

What's the name of the missing template? Which folder is it in? – colymba
It's in the theme folder, the same where all of the templates are. All of the other templates are currently working just fine, just this specific file of which I have a problem. You can see it live here: Working -> link Working ->link Not working ->link – Chibang Dayanan
I forgot, the name of the template is: CommunityExtensionPage.ss – Chibang Dayanan
I guess you have the right theme enabled :) .. is this a "main" template or under Layout or Include? Might be usefull to see some code and maybe a folder tree... – colymba
this is a main template for I have declared a separate page type for this. For the site tree, kindly refer to this link – Chibang Dayanan

Firstly, and I have to ask: Is there actually a PageType called "CommunityExtensionPage"? PageTypes need to be named the same as the required template, for the template to be picked-up automatically.

You seem to have two template files "CommunityExtensionPage.ss". One at "templates/CommunityExtensionPage.ss" and one at "templates/Layout/CommunityExtensionPage.ss"

It would be useful to see the contents of both files. SilverStripe will look for "CommunityExtensionPage.ss" in the top-level of the "templates" dir before looking in "templates/Layout".

If "templates/CommunityExtensionPage.ss" is found, it will also try and look for "templates/Layout/CommunityExtensionPage.ss" and render this into the $Layout template variable. Otherwise, it'll use the default "templates/Page.ss" and request "templates/Layout/CommunityExtensionPage.ss"

Does your "templates/CommunityExtensionPage.ss" template contain a reference to $Layout? If not, then the contents of "templates/Layout/CommunityExtensionPage.ss" will not be rendered.
