Thread: Different Templates based on Content

I am looking for a way to have different templates (for the same skin) based on where a customer is on the site. Specifically, the following areas each need to have their own slightly different look & feel:

1) Home, Category & Topic pages: 2-column layout w/ top & left navigation, home topic info in the middle-right & contact info across the bottom.

2) Product Pages: 3-column layout, with nav on the left, reviews on the right & product info in the center.

What is the best / easiest way to achieve this?

TemplateSwitching.Enabled = true
If you want to enable template file switching by entity, set this flag to true. You can then assign a template.ascx file to each entity (category, section, etc) that you want. The template.ascx file you assign to each entity must exist in the active skin folder (e.g. skins/skin_1).
------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the extensions data and put the name of the skin file that you want to use

How exactly do you "assign a template.ascx file to each entity (category, section, etc)?"

Thanks you.

Once you enable the template switching appconfig look under the extension data tab on the entity and there will be a field to enter the template name.

Thank you.
