I have culture-based content in the UK and the US. The US is a newer region for us, and the designers have produced a layout much more updated than our UK version.
I'm looking to have the same "page" but varied by doctype (or at least template) in different cultures, i.e.:
I'm aware I could do some big if statements in my template, and have a bunch of properties on the doctype that are only used in one or the other template, but ideally I'd switch to the different culture and create the node but with a different doctype and template.
If I try to create US content with a different doctype, the existing content (UK) shows up unpublished in the US culture, and when I create a new node with the new doctype, I get an error telling me I'll have clashing URLs.
If I try to merge the doctype but select a different template in the US culture, it changes the template for both cultures.
Anyone have any tips on how they've handled this before?
Vary doctype or template by culture
Hi!
I have culture-based content in the UK and the US. The US is a newer region for us, and the designers have produced a layout much more updated than our UK version.
I'm looking to have the same "page" but varied by doctype (or at least template) in different cultures, i.e.:
site.com/landing <= doctype:landinglegacy, template:landinglegacy site.com/us/landing <= doctype:landing, template:landing
I'm aware I could do some big if statements in my template, and have a bunch of properties on the doctype that are only used in one or the other template, but ideally I'd switch to the different culture and create the node but with a different doctype and template.
If I try to create US content with a different doctype, the existing content (UK) shows up unpublished in the US culture, and when I create a new node with the new doctype, I get an error telling me I'll have clashing URLs.
