Hi k84pd5,

sure - this is easy to do.

You'll make a rule that detects the GET parameter, and returns "true" from the PHP code.
Then, for the SUCCEED action you'll set the desired template, and set the cookie.

In the second rule you will detect the cookie, and use that to set the template in the SUCCEED rule.

FIRST RULE:

In the PHP box:
if (JRequest::getVar("testme") == "1") return true;

... then in the SUCCEED action, set the desired template, and "Set Session Variable A".

SECOND RULE:

In the "Quick Rules" near the top of the page, set "Detect Cookie/Session variable" to "Session Variable A"
... don't put anything in the PHP box
... select the desired template in the SUCCEED action.

TO USE:
enter your site with http://example.com/mypage?testme=1
The new template should be used for the rest of the session.

p.s. this is done exactly the same in MetaTemplate and MetaTemplate Pro.

Hi annamations,

I just replied to your other post, which I think answers this question.
