custom product-list per category

[nickosn]

Hi, 

 

One of the problems I am trying to resolve is this:

 

I am setting up a site that needs to display different features per category

So the first thing I did is to add the following code to the product-list.tpl file

 

{if isset($product.features)}

<div class="features">

{foreach from=$product.features item=feature name=pr_features}

{if $feature.id_feature == 8 OR $feature.id_feature == 11 OR $feature.id_feature == 12}

                <div>

                    {$feature.name}: <span>{$feature.value}</span>

                </div>

{/if}

{/foreach}

{/if}

 

This add the features I want to the category.

(Note that set of feature will be different in other categories or no features at all)

 

The second thing I did is to create a category-computers.tpl file and a product-computers-list.tpl file 

And then adapting the code from this link 

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/392095-how-to-different-producttpl-template-on-a-page-per-product-and-a-per-category-basis/

 

I added 

 

if ($this->category->id>=5 && $this->category->id<=12 || $this->category->id==11){

$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category-computers.tpl'); // template file for caregories between 5 and 7, OR category 11

} else {

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

}

 

to the controllers/front/CategoryController.php 

 

And the third thing I did is to change the category-computers.tpl

 

 {include file="./product-list.tpl" products=$products}

 

to

 

 {include file="./product-list-computers.tpl" products=$products}

 

Now I get  a

<div class="features">undefined</div>

error 

 

 

Please please someone tell me that's it's easier than that!

I am sure that if I try to upgrade prestashop at one some point things will get messed up

 

 

Kind Regards
