    Using a template under multiple masterpages

    Hi all,

    I'm having a bit of troule figuring this one out :-) I have an Umbraco installation which contains two different types of sites which have different layouts. Both sites contains a news section and I'm using the same News list document type/template and News document type/template for this. Consider the following document type structure:

    - Site 1
- Site 1 textpage

- Site 2
- Site 2 textpage

- News
      - News item

    Which leads to the following structure in the content tree:

    - Site 1
      - Textpage 1
      - News
            - News item 1

- Site 2
      - Textpage 1
      - News
            - News item 1

    The template structure then looks like this:

    - Site 1 master
       - Site 1 textpage
       - News
       - News item

- Site 2 master
       - Site 2 textpage
       - <News template should also be here>
       - <News item template should also be here>

    Since the News and News item templates are already using the Site 1 master template, they cannot use the Site 2 master template.

    Is there any way of doing this without any obscure hacks? ;-)

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    - Bo

    Hey Bo,

    I'm pretty sure there's a simple few lines of .NET that can swap out Master Templates before the template gets rendered, it was part of the Umbraco/technet talk at codegarden a while back.

    Can't remember if the code ever got posted but remember it was pretty simple, hope that helps, sorry I don't have the code!

    Quick google found this:

     

    protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
 if () //check home node ID or simular     this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/Site1.master";
 else
    this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/Site2.master";
}

    protectedvoidPage_PreInit(object sender,EventArgs e) 

    {  if()//logic to check which site is being called

    this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/Site1.master";

     else

        this.Page.MasterPageFile="~/Site2.master";

    }

    Hi Rich,

    Thanks a lot for your input :-) That could very well be the solution! I'll have to fool around a bit with it. Guess you have to make sure that the contentplaceholder match then.

    I'll try it out and then get back to this post. Thanks again!

    - Bo
