  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-03-23)
  
  I'm using this [support article](https://craftcms.com/support/entry-type-templates) as a guide and I'm stuck on what I'm doing wrong.
  
  I have an "events" section, and I would like to use a different template for one the entries. I've created a new entry type in the "events" section and gave it the handle "summerpreview." I created a template in the "events" subfolder: "\_types" entitled: "summerpreview.html." That template uses the include tag:
  
  ```
  {% include "events/_types/" ~ summerpreview.html %}
  
  ```
  
  I've created an entry inside the "events" section using the "summer preview" entry type and gave it the slug of "summerpreview."
  
  What am I missing here? The entry pulls using the default "events" template and not the "summerpreview." What do I need to do for this event to use "summerpreview" template?

  You need to allow the `entry.type` value to be part of the `include` path...
  
  ```
  {% include "events/_types/" ~ entry.type %}
  
  ```
  
  Since your `entry.type` is "summerpreview", that will be parsed out like this...
  
  ```
  {% include "events/_types/summerpreview" %}
  
  ```
  
  With Craft, you don't need to specify the `.html` extension, so this include should work perfectly.

  As a side note... I'd recommend turning on `devMode` locally. It would have thrown an error, telling you that `summerpreview` is not a legitimate variable.
