Custom template for the pages

[Artem]

How should I use this option?


Do I need to write something else in the index.php?

The function is not yet implemented.

But you can modify the if conditions in the file index.php of your theme.You can for example use an own template contact.php for your contact page with the following:

Code: Select all

if ($WHERE_AM_I == 'page') {
   if ($page->slug() == 'contact') {
      include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'contact.php');
   } else {
      include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'page.php');
   }
} else {
   include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'home.php');
}

YEAH!
Thanks!

And when this feature will be implemented?

And when this feature will be implemented?

Sorry, no idea at the moment.

[Artem]

Ok.
I did like this:

Code: Select all

if ($WHERE_AM_I == 'page') {
	if ($page->template()) {
		include(THEME_DIR_PHP.$page->template().'.php');
	} else {
		include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'page.php');
	}
} else {
	include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'blog.php');
}

Thank you, I didn't know that this is possible!

Nice workaround @Artem So Edi...now we know

Nice workaround, but it would be better if editors could choose the template in the backend while creating a page (if there are different templates in the theme). Some CMSs offer such a function, and it makes the CMS really flexible, regarding the design.
