Adding new article layouts under the "local" path

gemos-berlin

I want to add a new article layout to a t3-framework based template, by adding a file to "/templates/[templatename]/local/html/com_content/article/" but the layout does not appear in the options->layout combobox of the menu item. It does appear however, if I add it to the original template path (without the "local" folder) of "/templates/[templatename]/html/com_content/article/".

So my question is: When extending a template with new component layouts, do I just put files under the "local" folder, if they actually overwrite an already existing file under the main template path (without "local") and put any new laoyuts directly in under the main template path (without "local") or is this a bug?

Hi
Local folder is used to override the template files, if the same file does not exist in the /html folder
it will not work in local/html/com_content/article/
If the template does not comes with any override you can use /html path, there is no need to use local folder because this is used when you want a 2nd override inside template.
