How to set alternate template for the node

Hi,

In my project i have two modes called zakeljik & consument. For each mode there are different UI. I have set one session variable for this mode programmatically. I have two template for each mode. Now for one node i want to apply alternate template depending on mode. Can anyone tell me any solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Thanks,

Suvarna

I'm not sure if I completely understand the motive, but you can set templates as follows: If you have a page at page.aspx and a template called "template", you can apply the template via the url

e.g.
```
page.aspx - standard template
```
```
page.aspx?altTemplate=template - new template
```
and
```
page/template.aspx
```
Hope this starts you in the right direction

You can achieve what you want with alternative templates, but I think it'd be worthwhile investigating an alternative master page approach. You would programatically change the master page (overall look and feel) without changing the actual template.
