I've created one fc-type called 'project' and two templates called 'timeline' and 'timetable', both with item and category view.
Is it possible to change the category-view 'timeline' to the other category-view 'timetable', e.g. with something like to enhance the current URL with '?layout=timetable'?
This switcher I would then integrate in this two templates.
I don't want to create new menu-items, because I want to do as much as possible from the frontend, only by creating new items and assign them to the correct category.
I could do it by rendering my two different views by one template together in one page. To switch from the one to the other view I would use js (hide & show).
But this is not really what I want.
Do you have any other ideas?
Regards
I had added layout variable before and then removed it
This is the comment from r1422 ...
+ (a) Added item / category template layout override via URL variable ilayout & clayout, with checking for allowed / existing templates, ...
You can use &ilayout=tmplnameb for item view
and &clayout=tmplnameb for category view
The code will check if template exists, and for item view it will also check if it is allowed by the item's content type.
Get current SVN version or wait i will make v1.5.6a and v2.0a soon

Note:
If both the original template set for item/item 's Content Type and the template used via URL override, have the same parameter name e.g. colscount == 2 , then this will effect the overriding template too ...

I just recognized that the fields of the original template set for item/item 's Content Type are the same fields in the overriding template.
The overriding template doesn't use its fields, assigned in fc-template backend.
For example, I have a Content-Type ('project') with two fields 'date' and 'budget'.
If the original template ('timeline') uses only a field called 'date' and the overriding template ('budget') usally uses only a field 'budget' it will correctly load the template 'budget' but show the field 'date', as from the original assignment (item/category/menu-item).
Is this a correct behavior?
