different background images per page

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

Is there any way to use multiple templates when using the ZenGrid Framework? For instance, I'm trying to set different background images for the navRow (or topRow, etc..) depending upon which page is displayed. The reasoning behind this is to have the frontpage of the site visually different than the rest of the site.

This site is not online yet, and to make it worse, it is an upgrade from a Joomla 1.0 site. Pulling what little hair I have left out!

Thanks,
Dean Albano

Hey Dean,

Yep we just recently updated the core framework to v1.0.2 to solve this issue.

Anthony,

Is there any documentation available for this? I just installed the updated framework, but it looks the same.

Hehe fine here to mention anything you want :)

Using the template assignment is just the same as using it with other templates. So if its not the default template you can use it to assign the template via the menu items in the list.

The menu assignment option is on the template overview screen.

Let us know how you get on.

On the overview screen it tells me:

Menu Assignment
Menus: Cannot assign default template.


Did I miss something?

No thats right the error message is telling you the answer.

If the template is not the default then you can assign it to a menu. The default menu is assigned to all menu items.

Thanks Anthony
