I'd like to create multiple custom blog holder templates, so I don't want to necessarily use a modified BlogHolder.ss file that I drop into my theme's /Layout directory.

Here's what I tried:

• Creating a Blog Holder called "Superblog" in the CMS.
  
• Creating a SuperblogBlogHolder.php file in /code with the following:

  <?php
  class SuperblogBlogHolder extends BlogHolder {
  }
  class SuperblogBlogHolder_Controller extends BlogHolder_Controller {
  }
  
  ?>

• Creating SuperblogBlogHolder.ss in /Layout within my theme
  
• Dropping BlogHolder.ss in the theme's /templates directory with simply $Layout in the code
  

That definitely doesn't work. It loads Superblog, but with no styling or any of the custom stuff I added in the SuperblogBlogHolder.ss file

If I zap that BlogHolder.ss file from /templates, Superblog loads with all the site's styling, but again none of the custom template code created in the .ss file.

So either way I'm not getting Superblog to load the custom template code. Am I headed in the right direction here, or am I totally off base? Thanks!

Is your "Superblog" page in the CMS page type set to Superblog Blog Holder or Blog Holder?

Whoops - yep, silly mistake. I also hadn't set a CMS-friendly name in SuperblogBlogHolder.php - it was showing just as Blog Holder in the CMS, so I totally overlooked that it was there as an option.

Thanks
