XF 1.1 Ability to choose different template for thread_view per forum

[simbolo]

Purpose:
Create a different looking thread view for threads within a node. I know I can set a different style but would like to avoid creating a secondary style with the only modification being one template. Plus this would be tricky with styles that are basically the same but with different colors. Essentially I'd like to setup the following:

Forum "Articles" -> template "thread_view_article"
Forum * -> template "thread_view"

Example: My "Article/Blog" Pages should have a different layout then the standard forum post.

So my question is there any plugin for this currently and, if not, would it be possible?

I'd like to create the same. you mentioned you'd figured out how Jaxel had changed his. Would be grateful for a share.
I'd like to combine first post display on all pages / comments in reverse order (newest first) for one specific forum.

It's possible with a listener:

But you will need to add code to check the node_id.

You can also just use a conditional in the thread_view template:

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 2">
	<xen:include template="thread_view_article" />
<xen:else />
	THE ORIGINAL TEMPLATE IN HERE
</xen:if>

You need to enter the node_id.

It's also possible to do it inside of the XenForo_ViewPublic_Thread_View (which can be extended, so you don't need to overwrite templates or files

class Ragtek_Bazar_Thread_View extends XFCP_Ragtek_Bazar_Thread_View
{
    public function renderHtml()
    {
        parent::renderHTML();
        $bazarNodes = Ragtek::options('bazarnodes')->toArray();

        $params = $this->getParams();
        if (in_array($params['thread']['node_id'], $bazarNodes))
        {
          $this->_templateName = 'ragtek_bazar_threadview';
        }
