Multiple templates within the same site?

Hi All.  I may have missed this in the documentation I read, but I'm not seeing a way to have more than one page template within the same site.  For example, I have a site that has a drastically different homepage and interior page templates.  Is this possible?  I have what I think is the latest (2.3.6.2) installed.

You can enable per page skins from Site Settings, then it will show up as a dropdown in page settings allowing you to use different skins on different pages.

Note however that if running in medium trust under .NET 3.5 that there can be problems if the different skins need different settings in theme.skin. See additional notes about it here:

Best,

Hi Erik

I use that very same scenario because I only want the homepage to have the large header banner.

1) Set the whole site to use your interior skin.

2) Set the homepage skin to use the per page skin.

Done.

Awesome, I knew there was an easy way.  Thank you both, Joe and Rick!
