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!

This has been a common question lately.
I think this is the best explanation.
