In joomla 1.5 you can’t assign menus to the template which is DEFAULT TEMPLATE.

In the template manager you see the list of installed templates. Click on the radio button before the template which you want to assign menus and click edit. You will see Menu Assignment in Lower left corner.

Assign the menu items you wish to have different templates.

I don’t know the version of Joomla this article is about. In my Joomla 1.5, there is no submenu item called Site Templates under my Template manager. Besides, Template manager is under Extensions, not Site.

In V1.5, there is not an assign button in the template manager. Once you go into Edit a template, there is the menu assignment on the lower left, similar to modules.

in joomla 1.5 is kind of easy also
in spanish
vaya al sitio como administrador luego..
seleccione menu extensiones luego..
gestor de plantillas, luego..
marque con un chek en la plantilla que quiere asignar el comportamiento y haga clic en el boton de arriba que dice editar.. saldra luego una pantalla donde se muestran tres recuadros: detalles, asignacion del menu y parametros entre en asignacion del menu, luego haga check en “seleccione desde la lista” y posterior escoja el menu que desee se aplique la plantilla, presione guardar y listo, haga la prueba es realmente facil

in english, go to template manager, mark the desired template you wanna asign and click over the edit button, comes up a new window with 3 frames, choose menu assignment and choose the template you want to use in the menu desired, change from none to “select from the list” and choose that part of the menu where you want the template to be used it. save and exit. now you can see how the display page change when you hit the desired menu
