It is possible to override an individual news article's style sheet and layout in the URL.

It is possible to use the following code in a Sitekit CMS news article address/querystring to override the style sheet and layout of the news article page:

.overridethemeid=[style sheet ID].htm

e.g.: http://www.sitekit.net/Default.aspx.LocID-0adnew00i.overridethemeid=1052.htm

.overridelayoutid=[layout ID].htm

e.g.: http://www.sitekit.net/Default.aspx.LocID-0adnew00i.overridelayoutid=1041.htm

To call both a style sheet and layout in the same URL add one code after the other, preceeding '.htm', eg. http://www.sitekit.net/Default.aspx.LocID-0adnew00i.overridelayoutid=1041.overridethemeid=1052.htm

To obtain the id of a style sheet and layout "view page source" on the CMS > Design > Site Templates page of a site, and view the <select> dropdown menus.

This feature is particularly useful in sitekit rss news feeds, where news articles automatically inherit properties from the first news module they appear in. This can be changed by adding the above overrides to the <a href=""> in the XSLT.
