Hi All,
Does anybody know how to get this to work. It can obviously be done as I to have seen it elsewhere.
For the record what I want to achieve is this. I have a site with a main entry page and then four seperate departments. I want to have a different template for each department as well as the main entry page. I have created a new menu for each of the four departments and have put links to them on my main page. This all works fine! If I click on the link for department number 1, I get it's menu and template show.
What I can't work out, is how on earth I get different content to appear in the mainbody area on each of the four Homepages.
I need to solve this today!!! CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance
Derrick

Did you ever get a response to this question?
I have the same issue and hoped I could find an answer in the forums. Why can't the mainbody be a module whose position I can reference. The demo sites all have mainbody content changing as your click on each menu item, but I've yet to find anything that tells me how it's done.

First, create a category (or Section/ Category) for each department.
Now you have to create each department's menu item as a (for example) Blog- Content Category - pulling each departmemts Category (or Section/ Category), now you must create articles for each Category (or Section/ Category).
I hope that this helps.
I'm assuming that you will be using different versions of the same template? Using totally different templates can cause a lot of problems... not the least of which is module positions. - Last Edit: 17 years 2 months ago by Bob Ateah.
