[TYPO3-english] Template change at a subpage

[Adrian Basalic]

I thank everyone for their time. I made it work eventually. 

Although i started to figure what's what and how things work, it's unlikely
i ever take a typo3 project. The CMS is vast and has many options /
extensions but the problems coming with them are sometimes greater than the
ones they solve. 

I spent more than a week making a site with typo3 that i could built custom
in 2-3 days. Maybe for the experienced users this situation changes, but for
me is not worth it.

Thanks once more.

You have two options first (easier to implement to the beginer) is as 
you mentioned, add a new sub-template record, where you 
overwrite/add/remove only needed parts.

   page.10.subparts.LEFT_MENU < temp.overwriteOldLeftMenu
   page.10.subparts.RIGHT_MENU < temp.addNewRightMenu
   page.10.subparts.BORDER_CONTENT >

(last line clears BORDER_CONTENT - content)

second option is to use condition in main template based on Layout field 
of page's properties form (then you can change layouts without creating 
additional template record per one click on every page):
