Ndjientcheu Patrick	Friday 03 November 2006 11:13:55 pm hi! I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple pagelayout (file pagelayout.tpl) which correspond to different sections. If it is possible, how may i assign these layouts to corresponding sections? Thanks.

Mark Marsiglio	Sunday 05 November 2006 6:52:11 am In your override.ini.append.php file: [pagelayout_mynewsection] Source=pagelayout.tpl MatchFile=pagelayout_sectionname.tpl Subdir=templates Match[section]=my_section Where a new pagelayout file is called "pagelayout_sectionname.tpl" and a new section name is "my_section" Another thing that we often do is use one pagelayout with switches for sections. Even more ingenious (I think) is setting div id names tagged with the section ID - <div id="header-design-{$DesignKeys:used.section}"> Then in our CSS, we have rules called: div#header-design-1 {background: url(image1.jpg)} div#header-design-5 {background: url(image5.jpg)} div#header-design-6 {background: url(image6.jpg)} This way we can have separate designs without maintaining multiple pagelayouts (as long as they are all based on the same structure). http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions
