I know it is possible in Joomla! to set the template temporarily to another template with an URL parameter. Does anyone remember the parameter? And how should the template be indicated? I expect something like

index.php?template=mytemplate

Ahh... sorry, found it myself.

Lets share it:

index.php?template=directoryname

I was using the template name as declared in the XML file, instead of using the directory in the template folder (/templates/directoryname)

If you go to the template manager and click on one and then edit, there is a preview button where you can see it in a form in the browser. There is also a link there that says "Open in new window." When I click that it loads my site with this as the query "?tp=1&template=ja_purity"

that's exactly the way I found out! :-) Furthermore 'tp=1' shows all the placeholders for the modules.
