swap from the default form?

Right ive been using the default article form so far to create new articles. which looks like this:

Now ive decided want a post with a picture on it, so ive found out how to do it which is fairly straightfoward and has left me with a new form looking like this:

( im applying some positional styling to the picture)

Now my question is how do i get this new form selected when i want to use it. Ive tried making it the selected form in the forms section and then going to write and writing a new article and attaching a pic but txp seems to be still using my default form.

I have actually gone back to forms and put the article image code in my default form just to see if it wokrs and it does.

Could anyone tell me how i would go about swapping forms?

Thanks

Hum, i think that you can Override your default form in Content » Write » Advanced Options and then you choose the form you want from there.

From the help:

“Override Default Form

If on occasion you wish for an article to use a form different from that assigned by default – for example if you want to show only an article excerpt with <code><txp:excerpt /></code> where you normally show the entire article with <code><txp:body /></code> – this can be set here.”
