Hi,
I’m new to the forum and to T3, I’m starting to playing around with it… I have a small problem and I searched in the forum, but didn’t find.
I want a module to show up only in article view: I created two templates, a default one and another one for articles. How do I apply that different template only to article view?
I thought that I need to modify html/com_content/article/default.php but that refers only to the main content…
So I tried with template override in the template settings, but if I put “com_content=article” the “article” template is applied also to frontpage…
Sure there is some easy way to achieve it, but I can’t see how :-[

Thank you

Example: I want to use a three column template named “default” for all pages of the website except when I enter in article views (“option=com_content&view=article”), where I want a two column template named “articles”.
In the T3 template settings there’s the ability to override the default template for sections and single articles (identified by id) or components (identified by “com_xxx”). The problem is that article view is identified by “com_content&view=article and if I override the template for com_content the change is applied also for frontpage (com_content&view=featured) and category view…
Is there the ability to override also for article view, or I need to use an external component like metatemplate?
Thank you dohq

Hi saldsl

In my understanding, you want to change layout of each article. In joomla 1.6, there is feature to do it. You can see more in http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_1.6.

Well, I completely missed that! It’s exactly what I was searching for, but I was playing on Joomla 1.5 and didn’t saw these new options on J1.6.
Thank you dohq!

Well… it seems it was not what I’m searching for. :(( The layout override function in J1.6/1.7 only change the layout of content, but not of the whole template.
I attach an image to explain what I’m trying to achieve: the different template for frontpage and subsections (category blog view) is easily set in Template Management – <template_name> – Page assignments. But when I enter article view the template profile used is the one set for that subsection: I want to use another template profile specific for article view!

Hi saldsl

You could see Menu assignments (template manager) to change difference template via menu item.

Is there a way for you to assign the “uncategorized” section and/or category and use that as if it were some assigned one?
