    Hello,
    Let me explain, I have a homepage with following call 
    [[!getResourcesTag? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &tpl=`teaserList` &tplFirst=`teaser_first` &tplLast=`teaserList_last` &parents=`[[*id]]` &depth=`3` &limit=`4`  &includeTVs=`1` &showHidden=`0` &hideContainers=`1` &cache=`0` &pageVarKey=`page` ]][[!+page.nav:notempty=`
<div class="paging">
<ul class="pageList">[[!+page.nav]]</ul>
</div>
    . As you can see the first post has its own template, the last post also has its own template. So far so good.

    But what is would like to achieve is a way to have a different layout on the second page, third and others to come. Only the initial page should use this call as for the next page i want more results and different tpl’s. Anyone know how to get that result?

    Any suggestions are welcome..

      Hi,
      I haven’t tested it, but I should think that 
      tpl_{n}

      would be worth a try.

        I think that with 
        tpl_{n}
        i can only specify a template for 1 result, say the fifth result for example. So i think the possibilities with this is too limited.
        Thanks for the suggestion...

          Fair enough! I’m a CSS guy, so here’s another idea, somewhat manual, but could help if you’re also a CSS person. 

          <div id="doc[[+id]]">
   blah blah rest of template content here....
</div>


          As you can see, I grab the "id" from the document. I also added "doc", because you can’t start a CSS DIV name with a number. Then you write some special CSS for #doc1, #doc45, and so on. I use this sort of thing a lot. You could use other variables if you want to have groups of items, like a TV for a certain type of product or what-have-you.

          Cheers

            As far as I know the template tpl_5 will applied to every fifth result, so for number 5, 10, 15 a.s.o.
