DMS 2 Page Template Image Placeholder

[aldisney+ 3]

Hello--

I'm trying to create a post page template with a placeholder image, that allows my client to add a new image for each post. However, any time I try to upload a new image to the post, it changes the image across all of the posts with that particular page template. I'm probably just missing something, but I went through the documentation and the forums, and couldn't find anything. Could anyone point me in the right direction? 

 

Thanks!

 

PS: This is a very early site, so I'm not sure the technical info helps - this is probably user error, but I just can't seem to find the answer.

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to have different templates on a post by post basis. You can only do this on a page by page basis.

Ah, okay, that's for the response. That might be something to consider in a future release; ideally, it'd be great if you could do something like have the Featured Image appear as a full width header for the post.

Thanks for feedback, I'll be sure to pass this onto our developers.

Following up on this; would it be possible to create different custom post types, then attach a different template to each post type?

You can assign a different template Post Types. For example, you could have a different archive template on your Posts post type and then a different archive template on other custom post types. However, you will be unable to have different templates on a post by post basis.
