Hi,
I wanted to use a different template for one of my pages but it is not switching for some reason. It used to work but now it has stopped.

Would anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?
I have heard that turning SEF url's off would sort this out but in my case it doesn't....

Maybe the new Artisteer templates are different in some way?....
I know I'm clutching at straws but I am not sure what else to try.
I have already disabled MobileJoomla & sh404 Sef Url's as well as the system sef Url's.

Many thanks,

Kyle

Hi kyle.

Can you post a hlink to the site please and just so we understand your problem you want to go from from one template to another template on the same site is that correct?

Hi yes the website is as follows:
http://www.westlandstudiosdublin.com/ and that template is good.
But I also have the music player on that site and I want it to have another template which I have uploaded to the site but Joomla is simply not switching to the new template (which is much smaller and has Audio Player at the top of the page...)
The music player can be found on the first page of the website.
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle

HI Kyle,

Im fairly sure your cant have 2 default templates on a domain so switching from one template to another by way of a hlink would involve another extension by way of a Joomla on the domain i think. So ie www.westlandstudiosdublin.com/example

Anyone else have any input to help?

Are you getting any sort of error message while trying to switch the template or it is just grayed out ?

If you can spare $30 this will do exactly what you want:

I had a requirement for things to be presented differently to guests and registered users. 5 minutes with this componenet and I got exactly what I wanted. Didn't even bother reading instructions it was so easy.
