Frappe. Stuck with WebsiteGenerator

[trueno]

Hi, I am trying to follow this tutorial Generators
This is not very informative.

What I am trying to achieve:

• I want to change Web View of DocType using Website Generator.

What I am doing:

• I created doctype named Item.
  

  

• I created class that inherits from WebsiteGenerator

  class Item(website_generator.WebsiteGenerator):
    website = frappe._dict(
        template = "templates/item.html",
    	condition_field = "publish",
    )
  
    def get_context(self, context):
    	context.some_context = 'some_context'
  

• Added my DocType into list website_generators in hooks.py

• Created html-file ‘item.html’ in templates
  

What i am getting:

• Nothing. Web View of this doctype does not change.
• I accidentally found out how to change web view of DocTypes list, this is very good.

Do i need to specify value for a field “route” for a doctype?
