is it possible to have a different template for the main page and another for the rest of the site? This is the only thing standing between me and a completed project....

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan.

Which version do you have? Designer or Developer?

RyanG · 01-09-2007, 05:38 PM

Sorry, I have designer.... hopefully its still possible?

Isn't it possible to change the template by url? If so it might be possible to just use a redirect or mod_rewrite to add this in giving you a different template for whichever page you want.

From:
yoursite.com/index.php or yoursite.com

To:
yoursite.com/index.php?template=templatename

I attempted that, but it seems it makes the template change permanent across site unless i then change it again on every other page.

Do you still want all of the home page functionality? If it is just a static front page then I can post some code you can use.

I would love to keep the front page functionality.... but if thats not possible, I understand... I do however know a little PHP, so any code your willing to post to help me out would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Not to be rude or anything, but are you still planning on posting some code?

***Eric Barnes*** · 01-15-2007, 04:17 PM

Sorry this post must have gotten pushed down and I missed your reply.

With the designer edition you wouldn't be able to keep the frontpage functionality but to create a static frontpage you can do this.

First make a backup of your index.php file then create a new one and include this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
require_once('includes/init.php');
$class_tpl->display('layout.tpl.php');
?>

Then change the layout.tpl.php to the template file you would like to use.
