This could be very handy.

I am trying to create/use bespoke templates depending on it’s ‘page’ and it’s ‘children’ there are some ways of doing this, however, to complicated and long winded for me.

Wish it had this functionality built in, considering a lot of people are using WP as a CMS, it should follow some of the basic requirements which are provided by products such as Joomla.

Thanks again for this, fingers crossed.

Thanks,

Gabi.
