[SOLVED] how to use Different Template for every category!

[melas]

Hi everybody!

 

 

I'm new in the prestashop community, and

 

I would like to ask you something

 

 

Is there any way to appear in every category different template?

 

 

Thank You!

yes it is possible but in this case you will have to change several things:

controllers, and also .tpl & css files.

 

in CategoryController.php file located in: controllers/front/ directory you've got initContent() function with code:
 

$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl');

you need to define different template file for categories, for example:

if ($this->category->id==5){
$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category-for-id-5.tpl'); // template file for caregory id: 5
} else {
$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl'); // DEFAULT template
}

Thank you for  your advice, it was very helpfull !!!!!!!!

 

I think that I undestand what I have to do!

 

Thank you very much!

in addition to what i said above, remember, that in category.tpl you've got additional .tpl files like product-list.tpl etc.

if you want to customize separate pages, you need to include these files, or other - modified files

 

im going to mark this topic as solved

if i need to make different templates for different groups of categories

example: categories id 5,6,7,8 use template1.tpl, categories id 9,10,11 use template2.tpl and all the rest use default.tpl

found a solution after reading php docs

		if ($this->category->id==4 || $this->category->id==8 || $this->category->id==5){
			$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category1.tpl');
		} elseif ($this->category->id==9 || $this->category->id==10 || $this->category->id==11){
			$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category2.tpl');
		} else {
			$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl');
		}
