This is going to be a odd question but I am not sure how to explain this.

Q: I am using two templates for two different menus, the world news 2 and Music. Now how would I go about makeing it so when a person clicks on a story in Music it uses the basic Music theme for the story and not switch back to TWN2?

Sorry I know that is kind of vague but not sure how to explain it any other way.

Hi Don,
It is all on the local linux box, I do it all here before even thinking ofdoing it live.
Let me try again, Some times been Dyslexic is a bugger I think differently to others.

I have two menus so far, Home and Technology
I want to use TWN2 for the Home menu and Maybe Music for the technology menu. So when a reader click on Technology it looks like a totally different site than it would be if they clicked on Home but using the same joomla install but with two different templates.

Problem I have run into is when I click on a k2 story in the technology section it reverts back to the default look of TWN2 k2 story look not the Music story look.

So did you manage to have two different templates active in one Joomla base?

I've never heard about this before and am interested to think of a solution for you but of course I need to work either on your site or a clone of it.

Hi Don,
Yes am able to do this, if you give me a few minuites I am also setting up my own personal site so I will upload a quickstart then add in the other templates and setup the menus. I can then give you access to it,.

Sorry like I said the old brain works a bit different to most :)
