Use Multiple Stacks on one Site?

Can I use multiple stacks on one site? How would I make a video only page or category? And then make a page or category that was the Fashion stack?

Thanks.

I don’t think you can do that as each “stack” loads a custom set of CSS files. In theory, you could copy the CSS from one stack for the categories and replace that in the other stack … but there’s no way from the theme admin you can choose one “stack” for category-x and a different stack layout for category-y.

Of course you can build up a custom style sheet of some kind to do that, but horribly complex.

If the clases are different it might work; but if class names are the same across stacks … you’d be reloading the CSS for “header style 4” on one page, then again next page in different category, and the browser caching would likely end up loading wrong CSS for each section.

Meaning if
page 1 = header 1 = font x, size x, padding x
page 2 = header 1 = font y, size y, color y

Problem is header 1 as a class would be confusing across multiple pages where the class name is the sane but the CSS is different.

Kind of a cool idea, though.

I’m sure “official support” will have a better answer; I am just giving some feedback based on my own experience using the tagdiv themes the past 12 months. (And I could be wrong!) 🙂

Another possibility is editing one of the post “styles” – like maybe taking post style 3 template and go in and change the class names to something like “fashion header h1” or whatever, then only use the fashion CSS for the one template.

Dunno. My head hurts now. 😉
