Hello,
I am in the process of studying the templates supplied with
Drake 0.4 Beta in order to create my own.
You'd
better study the SVN versions of the templates since we are in
the process of simplifying their CSS

One snag I have
encountered so far is that I cannot find how to assign different
templates for different pages. I would like one template (layout)
for my splash page and a different template for my other pages.
Is there a way to do that?
As far as I know,
no.
With Drake CMS you can assign a different set of
CSS classes supplying the CSS class suffix. Example: if you want
that the frontpage component inherits uses the set of
-splash classes you would have to edit the component
instance from the Admin backend -> Menu -> mainmenu ->
Home (edit) and specify splash as class
suffix.
Then you would have to edit template_css.css
and duplicate the classes used by the component adding a
-splash suffix to each class name (more
documentation coming soon).
But if your need is to
have a totally different template for the first page and then
another template for the other pages, then this will not
possible.

I am somewhat comfortable writing php4/5 so
if someone just points me in the right direction maybe I can
customize it myself.
Thanks
Of
course you can "hack" Drake CMS to do what you need:
just put a line $d_template='splashtemplate'; in
components/com_frontpage/frontpage.php and it should work.
But, as you can see, it is not a clean way to
reach the scope 
Remember that if you edit the core files the
automatic online updates will not work as they will first verify
the source before being applied (you will have to revert the
changes before applying them or else proceed to a manual
installation of the next release).
If you need further
help, please ask. |
Can I use multiple templates?
