Different page template for document detail

I have created a custom document type for team members and can display them all on a page using a repeater.

What I would like to be able to do is when someone clicks on a team member on that page, to take them to a page with a completely different page template to that which is use to display the list of team members.

Is this possible and if so, please can you point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Joe

RE:Different page template for document detail

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, this is possible. How about if you would go to your document -> Properties -> Template and set the template so that it does not inherit from parent?

Other thing that comes to my mind is to to have another page with different template with e.g. a repeater in it. From your players list you redirect user after clicking on a link to this page along with some query string like: playerid. The playerid in reality would represent the DocumentID. And all you would need to do is get the query string and use it in a where condition of your repeater.

I hope this will point you to a right direction.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek

RE:Different page template for document detail

Hi Richard,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I think the setting a different template is the better option for me, but I'm still having problems with it. If I specify another template and set it not to inherit from parent, then the content from the document does not display. Do I need to include a specific control on the new template or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks,
Joe
