Hi together,
I'am just starting to work with this really cool Flexy Content Management Plugin and it works really fine for me but my challange is :
to make a Category blog where I can change the Layout of every item (i.e. setting the background-color)

I thougth to realize this by attaching the right template to the Itemtype but if I display a category Blog it displays only the item-template of the category blog template for each item...

Has someone an Idea if there is a possibilty to change the template of each element in a category blog structure ?

hello on each item you can affect one template (item template)
create on template for you category veiw and many template for you item view
affect your template for item only (right colone)

Ok thanks for the fast answer, but is it Possible to have more than one Template affecting the Items in one category view ?
(as far as I can see, category_items.php determines, how all items should look like in this category view)

what I think of is, to load for each item in the category view his own Item template. So that all Items in the category view have its own template.

in the category.php there is this line of code which loads category_items.php :
Code:
<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('items'); ?>
maybe there is an equal posibility to load a concrete template for each item in the category_items.php
somthing like:
Code:
<?php echo $this->item->loadTemplate(); ?>
which depends on Template settings in the concrete Item (right column) or
on the Template Settings of the itemtype.

So, I made an quick and as I think really dirty way to get an own template for each Itemtype in the Blog-view.

I write this for everybody who has the same Problem or maybe someone who could give me a tip resolve this in a more 'Elegant' Way.

First i changed the category_items.php to load his own Template for each Itemtype. I replaced the details for all leadnum as following:
Code:
<?php for ($i=0; $i<$leadnum; $i++) { $this->item = $this->items[$i]; echo $this->loadTemplate('type'.$this->items[$i]->type_id); //It loads an Template named category_type(type_id).php } ?>

than I create the 'Sub'-Templates named : category_type1.php, category_type2.php ...

It would be nice if the names could be category_(typealias).php
but I don't know how to get the typealias ?

I would be really happy if there is a better way to resolve this...

Greetings EB
