Using multiple Joomla template at a time

Joomla allows you to assign more than one template to seperate sections of your site.

You could use two different templates at the same time for different parts of your site, such as one for the main site and a different one for the forum.

This can be useful in cases where your main template is not properly configured with fully collapsible modules to accomodate having a full width forum

To assign more than one template, click on the checkbox next to your second choice and then click on the menu links to your left to choose where the template will be assigned to.

Next click on the assign button up top to make it active. You "should" now have two templates working independantly on your site.
