Rules are based on domain name, but also want to include an article iD

Hi!

Using chameleon wonderfully on site.  The rules are based on the url.  If it's a certain url the template switches.

Very simple.

However I want to "force" some articles to use a specific template.   I see I can add article ID's in the Content tab, but in this case it's being ignored.

Do I need to create a separate rule in the Chain to address this issue?    To assign one article to a specific template?

Thanks

Rowby

Hi Rowby,

yes, you need to create a new rule for that.

If you combine conditions in a single Chameleon rule, then BOTH conditions need to be true in order for the rule to succeed. So if you combine a URL and an article ID then both those things would have to occur simultaneously.

So just make a second rule.

If the article-id test is intended as an exception to the general rule, then you might want to order that before the URL test so it gets caught first.

Cheers,
Stephen
