The dispatcher plugin is working fine now (thanks to David Crossley) but its documentation (in particular the quickstart part) is still outdated. I like to customize (via dispatcher obviously) my website as follows: - all pages but one share a common set of customizations - there is one page customized differently to the rest of pages Can somebody help me to get my goals? As I said in a previous mail I'm really stuck (I'm trying to find out how the dispatcher plugin works and then apply something similar to my website but I'm failing). Any help will be appreciated. TIA Vicent PS: the website hierarchy showed is not used anymore. -- Share what you know, learn what you don't.
