Making a custom page

[barry_k]

Hi,

 

One of my categories 'Cars' has a lot subcategories which makes things look messy in the default theme.

 

I would like to make the subcategory page look different for 'Cars' only. I was thinking a nice table layout.

 

Is there a way of creating an override that says if the category is 'Cars' load a different TPL file?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone?

 

Or maybe if there is a different way to approach this problem rather than use overrides?

Ok I have modified my category.tpl file as follows

 

 

{if isset($subcategories)}

{elseif $product->id|intval==88-cars }

TEST CONTENT
{else}
{/if}
{/if}

 

but it just breaks my category TPL page. I have no idea how to do this properly. I just want it to say if the product equals 88-cars then display a different looking page.

 

Does anyone have any experience with creating a custom category page?
