It is also possible, if the old and new templates are
similar enough in the
number of and type of elements (where it is really only the
html that
changes) to go into the original template ColdFusion file
and put in logic
that changes the template based on subsite (e.g. <cfif
request.subsiteid is
2>do this<cfelseif rquest.subsiteid is 3>do
this</cfif>).
This may not be a long-term or scalable solution, but it
will work. A
better long term solution would be to use Metadata forms so
that you control
the page layout through the page's properties and reference
these metadata
choices using logic in the base template ColdFusion page.
