  Hi all,
  
  I've created a custom module, based on the Products Module. When I try to set an external template for my Products Detail View, nothing happens. It still refers to the built-in template. I'm doing it exactly the same way as when linking external templates to e.g. the News Module or Blogs Module.
  
  Is this a known issue?
  
  Regards,
  Daniel

  Hello Daniel, 

   Mapping DetailsView.ascx will not work since it is not frontend template: Map FrontendProductsDetailsView.ascx template trougg Administration->Settings->Advacned->Controls->ContentView. After mapping a template remember to restart the application to apply changes.

  Hi Stanislav,
  
  After changing the LayoutTemplatePath in my custom module from this:
  

  /// <summary>

          /// Gets or sets the layout template path.

          /// </summary>

          /// <value>The layout template path.</value>

          public override string LayoutTemplatePath

          {

              get

              {

                  return ProductsModule.ProductsVirtualPath + layoutTemplateName;

              }

              set

              {

                  base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;

              }

          }

  
  to this:
  

  // <summary>

          /// Gets or sets the layout template path.

          /// </summary>

          /// <value>The layout template path.</value>

          public override string LayoutTemplatePath

          {

              get

              {

                  //return SchoolsModule.SchoolsVirtualPath + layoutTemplateName;

                  return base.LayoutTemplatePath;

              }

              set

              {

                  base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;

              }

          }

  
  I'm able to set a custom template path.
  I'm not using the embedded views, so this will work for me.
  
  Regards,
  Daniel
