Custom Composer Templates
Permalink
I noticed on the page defaults for a composer page there is a section for "Custom Composer Template" - how does this work, and how does one go about making one?

Hi, I have the same question. Did you ever find the answer to this?
Negative - if anyone has some additional details on composer - specifically the custom template aspect, please let me know how that works!
Today I found some usefull posts about composer functionality:

http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/chat/custom-model-for-com...
The first one helped me to finally understand how to use the composer and expand it. The second one should answer your question hursey.

Hi, i found a way to force this.
I am using Concrete 5.5.1
So this can be diferent in other versions.
File is "concrete/controllers/dashboard/composer/write.php";
Line 61 Add this just after "if (!$this->error->has()) {":
$pl = $parent->getCollectionThemeObject();
$entry->setTheme($pl);
This code above will find the Theme of the parent page you are setting your Composer post, and set that to be the new Theme.
