Can I assign a specific template for authors in the front end

Firstly I'd like to thank metamodguy for her answers to my previous problems.
My question is :
After I logined in as an author, all article became editable.
After I entered the edit state, the editor appeared in the same template.
Usually the place for article is not sufficient for the editor, so I want to change the template for the editor.
I noticed that at this time the url contais the string "task=edit", but how I can get the information in my metatemplate.

Re: Can I assign a specific template for authors in the front end

Hi Tdchen,

that's an excellent question. Luckily there's a function in JomGenius that can identify article edit pages:

if ($core_genius->check("pagetype = articleedit")) return true;

Then in the SUCCEED action, set the template you want to use.

Cheers,
Stephen
