Need Template help! [Transmission]

[skronken]

Hi!

Im using the template Transmission on my site, and I have a problem!

I want to change the main picture on the left if I go to another page on the site.
Can't figure out how I can do this. Can u help me?

Quite simple.
You make another template with the design you want, install it, and then use this template for the page.
You can have as many templates as you need.
The only thing you need to remember is to give all the templates different names.

eg.

Transmission_1
Transmission_2
Transmission_3
and so on.

Thanks for the reply!
I didn't know you could have different templates for different menuitems. I'll check it out!

Although the multi-template approach works, and I have used it, there is one thing to keep in mind.  In the future, any little change you make to one template, you need to remember to make to all the other duplicate templates.  This can, in certain situations, become labour intensive.

I don't know transmission, but could you not make that section a block, and then just insert the image of choice into that block on each specific page?

Another option would be to alter your template with a little PHP so that the image displayed would correspond to the page_id. For example, page_id=1 would display 1.img, page_id=2 would display 2.img, etc.

This has been discussed elsewhere in the forum so do a search. Here's one to get you started:
