    Currently I have a blog setup with a blog / entry structure. However, I’m going to be covering an event and would like to create a new template in the blog group and use it temporarily to cover this event.

    The problem is that the Next / Previous navigation defaults to whatever template is currently being used so old posts could end up using the new template.

    Why is this a problem, because it is a branded event and I only want the branded template associated with with these entries.

    I could create a new group, but then the RSS feed would be an issue.

    Anyone ever try this?

    Thanks

    Have you checked out the pages module?

    I have checked out the pages module, but I’m planning on using the Structure module. However, I’m using EE2 and Structure is in a closed beta, but it would have solved a lot of the issue.

    Looks like your are gonna have to wait for Structure module.  It should do what you want.  Like structure, EE and everything else seems to be stuck at 2.0.x beta.  That is why I’m still using 1.6.x and won’t be converting until we are out of beta.  I know that this doesn’t solve your problem; but, you can’t hurry these cooks.  They aren’t gonna release anything until it’s done right.

    After all, beta is .... well beta.
