Page Types and Page Templates in C5.7

Permalink
Hi all

I am attempting my first major theming of a C5.7 site and hit my first hurdle regarding Page Types and Page Templates.

I used to set up Page Types like:
- Homepage
- Inner - Sidebar
- Inner - Full Width
- Blog Index
- Blog Entry

I am not sure how this works with the Page Templates now, which seem to have the names I usually use for Page Types above (e.g. Full, Right Sidebar).

Apparently Page Types can output to multiple Page Templates??? So, like an Blog Entry can be full width or with a right sidebar???

Can someone explain this further for me? How do these work together??

Could maybe C5 whip up a quick video to explain the concept? (asking for too much? :)

Cheers!

HI malkau,

This has been a common question lately.

I think this is the best explanation.
