Hi,

I am building a site that has a homepage which is distinctively different from the rest of the site. How can I use an alternate pagelayout.tpl for my homepage?

I read in an article comment that it is possible, but it didn't say how? From within the pagelayout.tpl i could use sections to adjust the behaviour. This is noce for assigning a different stylesheet per section, but not so nice when all html code needs to be replaced ;-)

Like any other template, you can override the pagelayout.tpl for that specific node. Here is an example:

[pagelayout_main_page]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout_main_page.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=2

You will need to tweak it a bit to ensure the right template is called, but it should work. :)
