copied!<p>First, realize you may nto be able to do this. Depending on how the extensions were authored, they may rely on being in a particular template. Second, if you paid for these extensions, you're entitled to support. Contact their authors and see what sort of help they can give. </p> <p>What you need to do here is apply a run Layout Update when these pages load. The easiest and best way to start with Layout Updates is to add them to the <code>local.xml</code> that's part of your theme. </p> <p>To apply a layout update, you need to know the layout handle for a particular page. The layout handle is a string that looks like this</p> <pre><code>customer_account_login </code></pre> <p>The first part of a layout handle is the module name, the second is a controller name, and the third is an action name. If you view the <a href="http://commercebugdemo.pulsestorm.net/customer/account/login/" rel="nofollow">Layout Tab on the Commerce Bug demo site</a> (Disclaimer: Commerce Bug is my commercial debugging extension, mentioned here because I don't know an easier way to describe this), you can see the sorts of handles generated for a particular page. </p> <p>Once you've found the layout handle for your page, <strong>add it</strong> to your theme's <code>local.xml</code> file. </p> <pre><code>File: app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/layout/local.xml <layouts> <extension_handle_name>  </extension_handle_name> </layouts> </code></pre> <p>Next, <strong>inside</strong> the handle, we'll add a Layout Update XML String that will apply the root <code>phtml</code> template that you want. </p> <pre><code>File: app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/layout/local.xml <layouts> <extension_handle_name> <reference name="root"> <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action> </reference> </extension_handle_name> </layouts> </code></pre> <p>Again, your extensions frontend code may not have been created in a way that's compatible with the <code>2columns-right.phtml</code> template. It's also possible that the extensions have used features in Magento that allow them to "lock" the template in place, which would prevent anyone from changing it. </p> <p>Good luck!</p>
