... with my template "main site" and everything worked well. the page is live and than my client decides
"oh well nice but can you please move the $element to $location".
I open the template manager and update the template code (say from version 1.0 to version 1.5).
i load the actual page and make some minor update so get it published again, but it's still based on the template of version 1.5.
why? I read the manual on template manager etc but did not find anything about this topic. can someone help me please?
what should i do to get the site to template version 1.5 ?
thank you in advance.
OK so i published a page...

Oh. so its more like a "copy" than something like Smarty?
Well, ok...
Hmmm, ok so i could make a template with an php include and in the included file i have all my code for the website.
If a client wants some changes outside of the cms containers i go in the include file and chanage it and its updated on every page which uses the template, like it should work imho.OK thanks i can live with that but i am surprised that the template thingy in pagelime is not thought like e.g. smarty.

Hmmm, that are a lot of includes...
Ok its coming, great. I would love this feature. But for the meantime what would be the "off-the-shelf" scenario in pagelime for something like this:
I have a website on pagelime with about 80 pages based on 3 templates.
Some day the client wants something changed which is outside the cms-editabe containers and on every single page (like a new element in the footer). Do I have to recreate (make a new page, copy paste all old content by myself, save it, rename it) every single page to implement the new footer element?Or is there any trick?

I would do exactly what you suggested earlier. Separate the design from the content with PHP includes, then just make changes to the source file that effects the other items globally.
As long as you create the initial template with the includes in it, all future pages will update accordingly. - Tom

It would be helpful to be able to re-apply a template to a page after a change has been made. Or, better yet -
I would like to just modify the template and have all pages built with that template update (perhaps w/ a button that says "Rebuild all pages using this template").Has there been any updates in this regard?

Hey Susan, I saw you post this in our suggestion forum as well. Not sure if we're going to do this on a "update all" scale... but maybe on a page-per-page basis.
