{extends}
{extends}
tags are used in child templates in template inheritance for
extending parent templates. For details see section of Template
Inheritance.
-
The
{extends}
tag must be on the first line of the template. -
If a child template extends a parent template with the
{extends}
tag it may contain only{block}
tags. Any other template content is ignored. -
Use the syntax for template resources to extend files outside the
$template_dir
directory.
