# Feature from One Template

 * I know you can customize a template and what I’d like to do – is there is a really
   neat feature on one template – which I would like to add or customize to my own
   template. So indirectly taking a feature from template “a” and putting that feature
   into my original template “b”.
 * OK, so how do I do this? I have looked at the codex documentation for template
   development and know there are certain pages (index.php, function.php, mosaic.
   php) that I need to remove the code from template “a” and place into tamplate“
   b”.
 * But will this mess the original code up – or will it work?
 * Also, template “a” uses the YAPB image plug in, where as template “b” – my Good
   template uses the NextGen. I can have two plugs in activated at the same time?
 * Please can anyone email me privately for my web site links which would explain
   this a bit better. Essential what I want to do is take template “a” and put one
   section of it into template “b” – for one theme page – mosaic.
 * Template Re-Direction – if I set up a template re-direction (I think) how does
   this work – for one particular page/feature? Can a link or redirection go under
   template “a” located at abc.com/blog2 to template b” which is located at abc.
   com/blog ?
 * Any help greatly appreciated…

 * Man, I have no idea what you want to do. You can put all kind of PHP code into
   a template. But then you start talking about blog 1 and blog 2. Plugins can usually
   be anywhere, but normally are in a sidebar template; however, they can be on 
   a page template (e.g., a contact form plugin).
 * Plugins are fragile things and it depends on how well written they are whether
   they play nice with the other plugins. You can put calls to two different plugins
   in the same template and stand back and watch them fight it out. They may coexist
   peacefully, they may not. It just depends on the individual plugins involved 
   and how close to the WP bone they work.
 * Template redirection? I don’t know what you mean.

 * Hi, thanks for replying to my post. Yes after re-reading it I don’t think I was
   as clear as I had hoped!…
 * Let’s try this again.
 * I have a web site as a test located at something like abc.com/blog2
    Then I have
   my real web site located at abc.com/blog
 * On one page of my test web site abc.com/blog2 – I really like a certain aspect
   of a features on one of these pages [mosaic] and need to know if this page/feature
   can be put into my real web site/blog.
 * How do I know what function or code do I copy or remove to place into my real
   web site page code? I can copy the whole mosaic.php page – but then I believe,
   there is a function inthe function.php page that pulls this out – to display 
   the info on the page. How do I know where and what I need to remove (code) and
   place into my real web site page.
 * Can any-one email me privately, and I’ll give you real web site address’ which
   will explain this a lot easier if I “Show” you want I want to do…
 * After doing research under wordpress I know it can be done (i.e. customizing 
   themes & templates).
