Hello,
Is it possible to use a single template, but utilize the specific styles within the template to provide unique looks for different pages?

I know that Joomla supports multiple templates and I'm familiar with how this is accomplished.
I do not want to make multiple calls to multiple templates & their support files.

I want to re-use as many shared elements as possible and eliminate the need to maintain multiple folders of similar graphic files.

Can you let me know if this is possible, and how it might be achieved?

Thanks in advance!

I'm getting the results I'm looking for by simply copying the instance of the singular template.
However, is there anyway to use the pattern selectors to use unique image backgrounds on different pages?

I've had some luck editing the template.css to achieve this (and simply pointing to m y desired image & editing the background-size & background-coverage tags, but it breaks the 'imagebg' suffix on certain modules.

What am I missing here to achieve the described results?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Hi

suffix is attached to a page by id. Please take a look at this example to learn how to do this: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... omla-pages

For the specific look of different styles I would advice to use Custom CSS field to add changes per style. This field is loaded from database not file directly, so changes can be unique to each style.
