How about a different template in frontend editing

Hello

-- about Itemid
the &Itemid=NNN is the Joomla menu item
the choosen menu item is decided when SEF URL is created

Already
-- in FLEXIcontent type configuration you can force a specific MENU ITEM id (but note it must be an FC menu item, e.g. a directory menu item)
and then also set a parameter to PREFER this item instead of category menu items

about adding it only in some cases with some custom criteria of your
it is up to you to do it



- about issue 208 , it is about using diffent FLEXIcontent item layouts (FLEXIconten templates) and not about Joomla temlates

Hello

read my above message
but your question is mainly this ?

when you edit an item in frontend , you want to be able to select a specific Joomla menu item ?
(your question is not about item viewing , right ?)

so we do need to be able to customize the menu item when editting,
- thus we will be able to use and customize the Joomla template to be used
