Using different templates for different types of listings? Can't Post
Hi, there.

I'm using Listings Manager to run a local business, charity and event directory: www.newhamburg.ca. I'd like to be able to display businesses using one template, charities with a different template, and events with a third. For example, an event is going to need to display different fields to Services, Client List and Qualifications. At the moment, the template I'm using is only really suitable for businesses.

Is there a tutorial that shows how to automatically chooses the right template, depending on which of these three categories is being advertised? I know that I can set up the Listings Editor to have, say, a drop down menu so that I can choose "Business", "Charity" or "Event", but how do I then make the site use the correct template based on what was selected?
