I’m trying using Blueprints on a channel doesn’t have URLs.
This is a Channel that normally wouldn’t be structure managed, but since Blueprint’s selection works with Templates, I made that way.

I want to use it to swap fields around, using it more like “Entry Type” http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/entry-type.

In the end, routing to the template doesn’t matter, because they all just route to 404s, but in the templates, I need to know which template has been selected within an entries loop, so I know which type of layout to output.

I could whip together a quick standalone addon to output the template id from a given entry, but it seemed like this might be a nice addition to Blueprints if you’re using it in this way.

Let me know what you think.

It would be a nice addition, but I won’t be able to get to that for a week or two.

Any update? I sent you a patch via email (1/5/2014). Did you get a chance to check it out?

S’ok. I had forgotten myself and had to just re-patch after upgrading, so I thought I’d ask.
