Point to a different category page

[edgarbain]

Hi

How can I change the link on my menu to point to another category page instaed of using the default category.tpl template.

 

I want to be able to deplay all my category in a page with all having its own template pages. I sell make up online so i want to deplay face make up on a page with a template designe for it and lipstick on a page designed for it

 

Thanks

Hey ,

 

you need to Override the controllers/front/CategoryController.php:

 

and override with this code:

public function initContent()
{
  parent::initContent();
  $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl'); // Place here your category.tpl
}

I saved the default template as faces.tpl and created a controller called facescontroller.php and in this section

 

public function initContent()
{
  parent::initContent();
  $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl'); // Place here your category.tpl
}
 

changed .'category.tpl' to faces.tpl

 

however when i try to view the category prestashop says the page isnt available

 

this is the url used:

 

https://www.sachacosmetics.com/index.php?id_category=8&controller=FACE&id_lang=1

Edgar,

The controller name is CaSe SeNsitIve, and should not be 'FACE' bus 'Faces'   (including s at the end)

 

If you change the URL to  https://www.sachacosmetics.com/index.php?id_category=8&controller=Faces&id_lang=1

 

it seems to work, but you have an error (error 500) on your page. Please turn on debug mode

 

My 2 cents,

pascal
