I have a problem that has a simple fix I am sure. I set my default template in joomla, but when I set the other menu items to use a different template, it still uses the default value instead.
Any help would be great
Thanks
To start answering your question is important to know wich version of Joomla you are using. And also, how are you changing those values.
Anyway if you go to templates configuration under extensions, and enter to a specific template you can change and asign template to specific menu items, the same way you display modules only on certain pages.

I am using Sitecore 8.2 and I have many items, created from the same template. Though I have set the renderings in the standard value of the template for common components like header and footer, but want to make sure that these renderings can't be added twice.
Can we achieve this? If yes, what the ways?
If you do not make the rendering available to be added to a placeholder, then no author will be able to select it from the Component selection dialog in Experience Editor.
The "Allowed Controls" list is how you will specify which controls are allowed to be added to a given placeholder.
If you mean you want authors to not add the rendering twice, then probably you can add a processor into < insertRenderings > pipeline. Check if that helps.
Okay, so I understand that you can set a template/style in a menu item which I understand. However.. What would you do in this situation..
The website uses two different templates/styles depending on what section of the website they are in.
What if you are in section 1 of the website and need to go to section 2 that uses a different style? And this action is controlled by a controller on if a condition is met.
I've managed to do this so far using $app->redirect and including the Menu Id so that joomla picks up the correct template/style to use. However this just seems wrong, as I can't determine the Menu Id once the component is installed elsewhere...
Doing the getView() approach to show a certain view seems like the correct procedure, however it doesn't allow me to change the template/style and will use the template/style from the original menu item.
Is there another method I don't know about? Does Joomla simply not have something in place for this? It's almost as if I need to change getView to accept a template/style parameter
They changed the name Template/Style to theme.
JFactory::getApplication()->set('theme', 'my_system');
I am using Umbraco 7.5.8. I would like for a page to switch to another template if the browser being used is certain versions of internet explorer. I wasn't sure how to do this or if it could be done.
It seems that adding the altTemplate parameter to the URL, e.g:
my-domain.com/my-page?altTemplate=newTemplateName
works right out of the box (just make sure to add the new template to the document type's "Allowed Templates" in Umbraco). Combined with Mario's suggestion to use JavaScript, this should do it.
I am having serious problems customizing my views template to displayblog entries in drupal 7.
please anyone with knowledge of what can help me please reply. i have gone through a couple of drupal documentations but no luck. my field.tpl.php seem to be the only template that actually affect my displays even though i have views-view-field.tpl.php, views-view--blog.tpl.php in the template .
In the view settings, under format, show, make sure you have fields selected, not content.
Under advanced, theme, click information to see which template files are being used, and click rescan if necessary.
If you have created or edited a view, please check under FORMAT section this should be Show:Fields and under Advanced section look for Theme:Information and click onto this, there will be a popup with all possible templates for the display plugin and for the style plugins. All field tpl will be available here those are exists in views fields, you can find your own and use as per your requirement.
When you edit your view open "Advanced" section on the right (collapsed by default) and click on "Information" from "Theme: Information" (last option in that section). There you can see what templates are used (bolded ones) and what could be used instead. You can even click on template description at the beginning of the line, and code will be displayed. Grab that code (copy) and create new template file with one of offered names. Place that template file in your theme and clear the cache. Now you can modify template by your needs.
Also, you even don't have to use all that hierarchy (even that's desirable), but you can i.e. find the template file that are looping over the rows and inside that loop put your html, so lower rank templates won't be included (i.e. template that iterates over fields or even over rows) . Again not so clear solution, but it works for me. I prefer having less template files and I know that nobody will work on that theme except me.
In joomla, I need to assign specially designed templates for both "User Edit" (Where user edits their details)
/index.php?option=com_user&view=user&task=edit
and "Search Results"
I can't for the life of me work out how Joomla is selecting templates now. Certainly ItemID's aren't obvious and template overrides aren't giving any clues.
Currently Search is defaulting to the site 'home page' template, and the user edit to the 'default' template.
I don't think it should matter but we are using jfusion.
Can anyone point me in the write direction
Thanks

Templates in Joomla are assigned to different pages (via menu items) under Extensions > Template manager. The default template (with a star) is assigned to all otherwise unassigned pages. For the other templates, click the name and choose the pagesto assign it to.
If you don't have menu items assigned to the pages you mentioned, you can create a new menu called "hidden menu", make the menu items there, then link to those menus.
I think you're getting terminology mixed up though. "Template overrides" are files that reside in each template that override the default content output. There's only one set per template - if you want multiple template overrides you need multiple templates.
template over rides are stored in the templates folder.
so if you are using teh template called "beez" (comes stock standard)
the template overides are in :
templates/beez/html/
they are then stored under the module or component name. eg the article layout for com_content is stored in:
templates/beez/html/com_content/article/default.php
the template is usualy called default.php, but each component and module can have a few extra templates that they use as well as deafult.php
Now you are asking to change the "user" view for com_user when editing
I think that location is:
templates/beez/html/com_user/user/form.php
if you ever want to find the origanal template which is to be overridden in this case: template that would be in:
/components/com_user/views/user/tmpl/form.php
so in general
templates/templatename/component_name/view_name/template_filename.php
Lets try ::
/index.php?option=com_user&view=user&task=edit&template=template-name
parameter template comes from /includes/application.php:311
// Allows for overriding the active
template from the request
$template = JRequest::getCmd('template',
$template);
Hope it will work :-)
