pass the template in the URL?

[Logtenberg]

Would this be a hack or just some simple coding...

I want to be able to pass which template to use in the url and if none are indicated it just defaults to what ever template it supposed to use.

Why?
I have a search box in my header of a certain template. In order to maintain consistancy I need the search results to remain in the template style the search was made from....

thanks.

You can insert a hidden form variable to your search box at the top, then change the template/style id in the global.php if that variable is set.

Any idea what the variable is called? Would I have to hack global.php?

thanks

does anyone know the correct coding?
