Same Category, 2 different templates using menu items was created by Steven Pullen
Hello,I have K2 set up on my website, which uses my default Joomla template. I would like to set up a sub-site, such as www.domain.com/products2 which uses the same products but with a different website skin (template).I've created a new menu, added the menu links for K2 in this new menu, and using Joomla template manager assigned my new template to those menu items.This works great, but when you click the items within the category, it takes you back to the default template.Can I fix this?ThanksSteve

Just to make it clearer,
Default Website - www.studioitalia.com.au/collection/ceiling
Separate Sub-Site, same products, different skin - www.studioitalia.com.au/mondoluce/ceiling
Everything works great on the sub-site until you actually click an item, as it redirects you to the default website.

HI Steven,
This could be done by a K2 plugin that changes the default item link with the one you want.

FYI on those trying to help, K2 does actually create the item page with the correct template, just doesn't link to the correct URL in category view:
Example
www.studioitalia.com.au/collection/wall/item/1547-
www.studioitalia.com.au/mondoluce/wall/item/1547-
I may need to manually build the link in my category template, ie:
/collection/%category%/item/%itemalias%
Is there a better solution?

A little frustrating, but I ended up creating a new K2 template for my section, and editing the category_item.php file.
In this file, I replaced the K2 generated link value with:
href="www.studioitalia.com.au/mondoluce//item/-">
Got there in the end.
