Simple Template Question

Recommended Posts

I want to change the way the layout is when you click on a product category or a brand name. Right now it simply lists them straight down in three column format.

 

What file is this template in?

 

Thank you so much.

Two places that I know you can change it.

1.) In the admin panel you can change how many catagory images to display per row. Go to Configuration->Maximum Values->Categories to list per row.

 

2.) You can change the whole layout in catalog\index.php

 

HTH.

I believe that is how the products are displayed. Not the catagory images.

If you are wanting to change the layout of how the products appear then it depends on how you want them to look. I wanted a more thumbnail or overstock.com look so I used the contribution: listing module.

You can look at my site for an example:

House of de Don

You might also want to check out the excellent STS template system in the contribution section, if you've a bit of experiene using an HTML editor it can make picking up and placing boxes and other structures on your page a lot easier, but I don't reccoment it to complete begginners. Good luck. Sean

This is basically the layout I was trying to get:

 

http://www.houseofdedon.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=27_36

 

that's not so far away from the 'out of the box' setup really.

 

As for templates slowing things down I can only speak for the STS template system - and I have not noticed any change - possibly stripping out unrequired items might even have the reverse effect possibly?

I used the listing module contribution for that look. I think it's in the template section. I haven't seen a slow down problem.

Product image

Manufacturer filter box

Location of Prev/next nav bar
