Prevent theme change by multiple themes
Permalink
Hi everybody,
i'm wondering, i have 2 themes, one i use as a landing page (with a redirect coded in PHP) and the second as the "main"theme. I have setup a page type for the "main"theme, but i need to activate this theme so that i can edit the content (Default in page types). But when i do that, the landing page will change to the "main"theme, what is rather bad; how can i prevent the landing page ('Main' in the Site map) from changing the theme ?
Thx

And is there a possibility to prevent inheritance ?
Because when i want to change something in the page type default, the "root" page gets the other theme, and when i change it in the design tab on the root page (like you instructed to), then all childpages get changed again. And so i need to reactivate the theme again.

goto the page you want to change, and change it there.. avoid page defaults all together.
If i should avoid the page defaults, how can i maintain global blocks on a website (News, other stuff...) without passing the changes in the scrapbook and applying it on 100 pages ?
I found only this solution by searching the forums (even when not very handy, i admit).

you can certainly use page defualts, particularly for creating default content like you say.. but if you don't want all the pages created with that page type to use the theme selected on it, you should just set the theme on the specific page in question..
i feel like maybe i'm not understanding the real challenge you're trying to solve...

if you goto a specific page in your site you should already be able to see that them in your page design tab, and select it for that page without impacting other pages..
new pages made under that page should inherit its theme choice.
