how do I assign full.php or leftsidebar.php to my pages

Thanks to so many members help and patience,
I understand that default.php is the main fall back style guide if nothing else is declared and that it controls the layout. However if I wanted to use a specific (my own design) template how would I assign that to work instead of the default.php?

Hi, Kappi!

It's called "page type" and you easily login to your Concrete5 install then choose the page that you want to change the page type and hit "Edit Page"->Hit Design->then Choose a Page Type.

if you want to create you own pagetype, simply create a php file under your active themes directory. In example: /themes/mytheme/cutom_page_type.php then go to your dashboard and hit "Pages and Themes" look for your theme and hit inspect, then follow the instructions and you'll have your custom pagetype activated.

You can also make a menu in example default on that page type without any coding. Just goto "Pages and Themes" -> Page Types then hit default on that page type you want to customize for all pages that use that page type. Now you just add a block, in example autonav and then you click the block to set that block up on all selected pages too.
Hit Exit edit mode->save and you're done.
