How do I set a page template to a new template?

[danoah 1]

I created a new template and it is showing up perfectly in the Template Setup section, but the option isn't there when I create new pages. How do I assign a page to the new template that I created? Thanks, Dan

Have you read through http://www.pagelines.com/docs/template-setup ?

[danoah 1]

Yes, but it doesn't answer this question.

To clarify, I'm talking about a new custom template I created. It's not showing up on the page editor so that I can assign pages to it.

Dan, if you'd care to elaborate about how you created the custom template, I'll see if one of the developers can provide you with better answers. A link to the site is actually helpful, or some screenshots.

I created a new document in the platform base folder and called it page.custom2.php. I then changed the code in functions.php to: if ( function_exists( 'pagelines_add_page' ) ) { pagelines_add_page('base', 'Custom Page'); pagelines_add_page('custom2', 'Custom 2'); } This made the custom 2 template show up in the template editor, but not in the page editor, so I don't know how to assign the new template to new pages. The site I'm building is at buildsite.danoah.com. Thanks, Dan

By the way, how do you include screenshots in these forums?

[Rob 547]

Probably best to take the snapshot, post it to your images directory and provide a link. That's what most folks do.

I see. I thought maybe there was a quick way to do it. Don't know what I'd take a screen shot of for this problem.

I had been thinking of the step by step process showing how you created the template and how you're trying to apply it and the result.
