How many Templates can I have?

[Forum5]

I'll respectfully disagree. Disk space is cheap, and many sites use different templates as an easy way to change the look of the site on holidays and for special promotions.

Thanks for chiming in Steve. I was going to let it lay. I too disagreed but did not want to go into it at that time.

The fact of the matter is that I have a client that lives far away and wants to see a hand full of templates in action on my test site before making a decision on the style he wants to create from $cratch. (not 20,000 templates laying dormant)

Without going into geek alternative suggestions such as which is bigger, smaller, better, bolder, cheaper, easier, harder, best approach with disk space, Zen-Cart or programming in PHP, I say this: My client ask if it could be done. My client is paying the bill. My client wants it done. I want it done. My client is right. I tried to do it.

I thank schoolboy for trying to answering my initial request and I will study his custom-image solution for a later project. Right now I don't need custom image solutions for seasonal changes. I need to show the client a hand full of different 'layouts', custom designs, and color choices then move on.

One of the great things we all have in common - differences of opinion. That's what leads to great creativity.

BTW Is there a limit to the number of templates that can be listed under Includes/templates? HA!
