RE:Regarding page templates
Hello,

This is the standard behavior for any template-based setup. If you want to use a different layout or web part set you need to clone the given template as an Ad-hoc template. This can be done in CMSDesk / <your document> / Properties / Template.

RE:Regarding page templates
Hi Boris,.

Thanks for quick reply.. I also did the clone as adhoc template and check the checkbox, inherit master page only, but still it is showing the content of the other page...

RE:Regarding page templates
Hello,

If that's the content of the template before you've cloned it then this is by design. Now, if you change the ad-hoc template the changes shouldn't affect the template form which the ad-hoc template was created from.

RE:Regarding page templates
Hi Boris,

Thanks for your quick reply.. I have created a template named "internal" , then I create a new page and apply that template on that page and aded the content in that page.

Now I create another page and at the time of creation I select the internal template again, but when I go to design, it is displaying the webparts addded in the first page..Is it possible to create a single template and use in all the page except master page..

Thanks again
Sansugoi

RE:Regarding page templates
Hello,

Yes, this is the correct behavior. In your setup, if you create the internal template now every time you use it it will display the same content on every page. If you modify one instance of this template, it will affect every page where this template is used. You need to create an ad-hoc page to break this "inheritance".

RE:Regarding page templates
Hello,

I would suggest you to read at first the following on the template system in general. If you make a change on a template, it is reflected on all the documents. If you want to create a similar page, with some changes, you need to clone it as an ad-hoc template.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko

RE:Regarding page templates
Hello,

This dialog should be used only for emergency reasons. If you want to modify the web part settings, you should use the Design mode of the page. Please don't make any changes to the web parts tab.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko
