Ok, so user error on this one. =P
It took me a while to figure out that paragraph data in Magnolia is
always associated with the paragraph Template that it was created
with. SO, if your content authors use a sampleTextImage paragraph
style to create a page while you are working on your own custom
Templates, the only way to change the paragraph Template that is used
in the page is to Export the tree to XML and do a find and replace to
change <sv:value>samples to the name of your custom paragraph template.
So, my new question: Is this really the best way to do it? Hardly
elegant, and if you are dealing with any heavy binary in your site
tree (i.e. PDFs, movies, hi-res graphics) a find and replace can take
a long time, or even crash BBEdit (any ideas on better tools to do
huge find/replace actions with?? Could this be done using the Jash
tools?).
Is the XML export/import the only way to change the paragraph
templates a site is using? Changing the templates a large magnolia
site is using then becomes very time consuming.
Are others using any different methods to change the paragraph
templates a site is using? Even to change the Page Templates a whole
site is using, you have to do it on a page by page basis. I would
really like to change the styles/templates a whole site uses without
having to do it on a page-by-page AND a paragraph-by-paragraph
basis. There has got to be a better way to get this to happen.
Thanks for your ideas.
Respect,

Hello,
Just a shot in the dark here..... but I've spent way too long
troubleshooting some of my custom templates. They seem to include
a reference to the Sample paragraphs, but I cannot figure out
were. When the samples folder is in /templates/jsp/ all pages
render fine. But if the sample templates directory is
missing..... no paragraph Templates are rendered.
Any tips, pointers, ideas to help get me moving again??
I've added configs in AdminCentral for my Templates in the
following places:
/modules/templating/dialogs/
/modules/templating/Paragraphs/
/modules/templating/Templates/
And all the JSPs have been manually copied to both instances.
Running Magnolia 2.1.5 on OSX Client 10.4
Thanks for your time.
