I didn't found the exactly description or topic thread?
I wanted to create a second template in the Umbraco backend online. I could create the template and the document type.
Now I wanted to use it for my content objects but I couldn't choose it at content -> contentpage -> properties in the scrolldown tab. Here I can only choose Textpage and not my Textpage2 template which I created?
When you created the template did you remember to go to the document type section afterwards and select the new template as one of the possible templates for your document type?
You need to tell the document type what templates it is allowed to use before you can choose the templates in the content section in the properties tab.
Sure it make sense, I did this and gave it the same configuration as Textpage (like a copy) and did all entries to Textpage2 instead of Textpage. But did I forgot something??
Ok, so you want to be able to set the template textpage2 on the document type called "Textpage" rather than "Textpage2" that is shown on the screendump? Then go to Textpage document type and set a checkbox in "Textpage2" as well. Then "Textpage" will still be the default template on your "Textpage" document type but in the content section you can change a document to use "Textpage2" instead of the default assigned template.
That's exactly what I needed for a hint. I'm totally new to umbraco but I guess since I do with C# it is something good to have an ASP.NET cms website for my own :)
Glad we managed to figure it out so you can gain more Umbraco experience :) Please remember to mark the post as solved by clicking the "Solution" button at the correct answer so others can easily figure out the solution should they come across the same.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi iku
Could you perhaps post some screendumps?
1 showing a list of your templates and 1 showing how you have setup you document type?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
