altTemplate is not getting detected for an articulate blog page
Hello - The articulate blog works absolutely fine and no issues with it. But, I am trying to use the blog pages to display in a different device with some extra HTML. For this, I created a new template and trying to render the page appending "?alttemplate=my_template" at the end of URL. The pages renders with normal articular post html view and I don't see the view from alttemplate. Even if i give a wrong template name as the value to alttemplate, it still renders fine with regular post view.
The alttemplate works fine for other pages which are not created from articulate blog.

Any suggestions/inputs are appreciated. Thanks!!
Hello,
Articulate is using something called Virtual Nodes. You can read more about it here:
https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Routing/custom-routes
http://jamessouth.me/archive/fun-with-umbracovirtualnoderoutehandler/
Those probably don't support alt templates.
