    Using two templates without duplicating the node

    Hi all,

    We are looking to add a section to our umbraco site that has help information about different parts of our software product. Each bit of information would be on it's own node. We want the end user to be able to access this information in two ways.

    1) Via the website - they would see all our usual styles and designs using our standard templates

    2) Via ajax through the software itself - they would see a stripped down version of the page, i.e. only the node body, no navigation bar, no logo at the top etc, just the body.

    How would you advise going about doing this without node duplication?

    Thanks,

    Max.

    Hi Max,

    Sounds like you might want to look at alternative templates (there's a handy blog post here).  You can basically present the content from the same node in many different ways by using different templates.

    Hope this helps...

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for the link, I setup a template for simple pages called "helplink" and let the document type use it, then went here:

    And everything works great. 

    Thanks again

    Max.
