I'm working on a blog on a pro installation which includes dozens of blogs. The other blogs have different designs, and are not worked on by me. Profile view is a global system template which is shared by all the blogs on the installation.
I want to make the design of profile view of the blog I'm working on match the design of other pages on the same blog. How can I do this without interfering with what it looks like on other blogs which use the global template?
With any other page, I'd create a new template at the blog level, but it appears you cannot do this with system templates.
As long as the URL you use to go to the profile with contains the blog_id=... parameter, all <:mt:include> tags in your profile template will operate in the context of that blog.
So if you make sure headers, footers, sidebars etc. with the same name are available at each blog that you can include, you should be set!
Hi Maarten,
All the includes I'm using are at the global level, not at the blog level. I'm working on six blogs, which will share a common design, and I don't want six copies of the header, footer, sidebar, etc.
How can I make the profile template call those global templates for my blogs, but not for all the other blogs?

Hi ruth_dt,
I have the same problem with all system templates.
Have you found a solution about this?
Thanks
Hi Barbara,
In the end, I included the global-level includes inside the blog-level includes. It's quite far from being ideal, as it means a lot of duplication, but at least the system templates don't look quite as rubbish.
I'd still like a better solution.
