Applying templates to generic pages like legislative lookup?

Can you have two versions of the legislative lookup and account sign in pages? We need one for each template (c3 and c4)

I'm: stressed out.

Yes. Say you want to use template key 2234 for c3 and template key 2590 to c4. Your generic legislative lookup page is something like http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/ORGANIZATION_NUMBER/blastContent.jsp.

Just insert "/t/" and the template key number right in the page URL after your organization number. So your c3 lookup page would be http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/ORGANIZATION_NUMBER/t/2234/blastContent.jsp, and your c4 lookup page would be http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/ORGANIZATION_NUMBER/t/2590/blastContent.jsp.

That may vary slightly from salsa.democracyinaction.org depending on what salsa node you use, and you'll need to put in your unique ORGANIZATION_NUMBER.

This is a handy way to change the template for any number of Salsa pages just by altering the URL a bit.

Er, I mean that your lookup page would be ...getLocal.jsp, not ...blastContent.jsp.
