I would like to know, how can I use a different template in the product page from the template used on the overall site.
For example, my home page has a product list, thumbnail (image/title), when user clicks it takes them to the products page. I want this page to be completely blank with only the products information (no header/footer/etc..). Any Suggestions?

You will have to edit the file "listing_img_title" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and add :
&tmpl=component

in the URL link which is set at the beginning of the file.

Thank you,
I solved it differently (more involved), since I had a deadline on friday.
I added code (in the index.php of the template) so that if the querystring reads pop=1, it will show an empty template (no header or footer, and no borders, etc..), so when pop-1 in the querystring, I load certain css which overrides the css of the template. worked perfectly. Thank You, will use your solution next time.

Hi,

I tried this technique whitch works. But is it possible to set a joomla template instead of the "component template" ?

Thanks !

Hi,

Joomla doesn't have by default a system in place to switch the template for different pages of the same menu item (which is what you want).
For that, you'll need to use another extension like these:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...templating/chameleon
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...ced-template-manager
