Page Layout Question... How to apply more than one?

[sporto]

I can create multiple page layouts, but I'm having problems figuring out how to apply them. I want one page layout for my home page, and different for the rest. Can someone point me in the right direction? THanks.

it's simple i think!
if you have two templates. only choose the template u like to use, when u create an sitestructure you have on the botom left the possibility to choose wich teplate you wanna use.

You can select different page layout in template edit window.
Bellow the template name field is, page layout filed.

No, both statements are correct.
You told him how to select templates.
I told him how to select page layouts.

Great! Thanks guys. I see now. I knew it was simple.

I do realize that the one page that you can't choose the page layout is the default(home) page. The layout of that page can only be selected by choosing the default page template.

i can see a future feature request to make template and layout independant from each other soon - if the case arises that you need a very varied layout structures site as well as a number of templates - but would need those templates in all of those layouts. This would lead to heavy replication of templates each the same as the last with only the layout used being different.

this of course is very likley to be needed by people just because it can't be done right now - if it gets implemented it'll probably never be needed
