[13]"template" work as "jos_change_template"

[Kampp]

The 1.5 version of "jos_change_template" is "template" BUT is does not remember the template when a link is pressed like in Joomla 1.0.x.

In short - please change the 1.5 "template" functionality back so that it works like in version 1.0.x ("jos_change_template"). It needs to keep/remember the template when a link og menu-item is clicked.

Did you ever find a solution to this. I have just the same problem and am really struggling with it.

Thanks,

Sadly no... It's not a bug as I understand it, but simply a lack of feature. The wish of having this added again so that Joomla 1.5 it equal to Joomla 1.0 in this area was denied.

Hello,

Is there a solution for this yet? It's December of 2009 now and the last post was 2005... Just a note as to the reason this is helpful for me. I own a software company and I have online tutorials that I need to display on the website, and inside of the software. By using a template switch, I don't have to redo the entire section to make it look nice in the software. However, right now the links change it back to the original template.

There is one other throught/problem that I foresee happening to me in this scenerio. After the user has ran the software and used the other template, will their regular browser show the secondary template? I could see that being a problem too.

I think the best solution for this would be not to store a cookie, but have a mambot. The url would be something like http://www.example.com?&template=templa ... template=1 IE forcetemplate=1 would enable the mambot and it would append the correct variables onto every link on the page. It would append the ?&template=templatename&forcetemplate=1 to each link... Am I dreaming?
