Hi Lachlann

I'm not sure if there are other options than using the altTemplate...but could you make a little description of the scenario where you are in need of this? Maybe it's more easy to give you advice then :-)

Hi Jan,

I have reapproached the problem and perhaps using altTemapltes via the url i.e. mysite.com/about/mytemplate.aspx rather than mysite.com/about.aspx?altTemplate=mytemplate would be okay. However my problem now is how to detect which tempalte is being used. If i use

var t = new umbraco.template(currentPage.template);

this just returns the default tempalte for the page not the tempalte currently being used to render the page. So I have no way to detect which template is currently being used to render the page, this means that if a desktop browser trys to access a mobile url I have no way to redirect them to the web version.

does that make sense.

thanks for your help

Okay, just after i posted this i found this post

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/templating/templates-and-document-types/4506-How-to-get-the-Template-ID-of-the-Rendered-Alternate-Template

this lets me get the name of the altTemplate if it is used.
