    Assign default template depending on where a shared document is being added?

    I have 3 websites under one umbraco instance (bloga, blobb, and blogc). They all share one document type (blog), but they have 3 different templates (bloga, blogb, and blogc).

    The blog document type has the 3 templates allowed.

    If the user creates a node under site bloga, I want the default template to bloga, if the user creates a node under blogb, I want the default template to be blogb.

    Is this possible? If so, how can I achieve it.

    Thanks, Saied

    Hi Saied,

    I think the best way to do this is to hook into the BeforePublish event and assign a template their to your new node.

    An example of hooking into an event can be found here

    Then you can set the default template by setting the property content.ContentType.DefaultTemplate.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Michaël,

    I am using 7.4.3. I think the link you sent me was legacy, so I was wondering if it was the same event or called something else now.

    Also, if I can set the template like this, does this mean that if the template name changes, the event would have to be updated or does it do it some other way?

    Thanks, Saied

    Hi Saied,

    here is the new link for versions above 6: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Events/application-startup

    You can get the allowed templates available for the new node by looking at the property content.ContentType.AllowedTemplates.

    So if a template changes by name or something else this will be visible in this list.
