    Please help!!! Multiple templates question...

    Posted 17 years 5 months ago
    • 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.
