Learning: Node Templates

To access the content object associated with a node, eZ publish runs the “view” view of the “content” module.

Eg. http://www.site.com/content/view/42

This is called a “system” url will access the content contained in the object associated with node no.42

If you are using virtual (friendly) urls, then the system will automatically know which node.

Eg. http://www.site.com/contact

When a virtual url is requested, the system will always return the full view mode.

Templates can be associated with the section or specific node, these are called override templates. The system will first look for an override template, if none exists for that particular section/node, then it will fall back to the default template.
