Page Template

Hi Everyone,

I think this is going to be tough question. I have a blog that uses a page template.

I want to create a template that shows all pages created in the blog. The list would contain the Page Title and it's is hyperlinked to the page.

But I when someone clicks on a link in this list, I only want that person to see only the plain content,and not see the page content within the page template.

I want the person to see a styleless page, as if it's not using any template at all.

Is it possible to do this?

I appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks,

Hi Vman,

Everything is possible!

Your list of pages is something like:
<mt:Pages>
<p><a href="<mt:PagePermalink>"><mt:PageTitle></a></p>
</mt:Pages>

Then, if you want the page hyperlink to bring the user not to the page full featured layout, but to a plain text layout you will have to create a second template for Pages (Design => Templates => Archives).

You will give a different link pattern to this second page template and then you will add a regex rule to <mt:PagePermalink> so that instead of brining to the default, full featured layout it will link to the plain text one...

Or, you can make the plain text one to be default, and you don't need the regex rule...

Hope it helps,
