DavidF Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 In my store there is a need to list products in one category differently than in another category. What I mean is that some products need to be listed with a picture and a model number, and then in a completely different category I have other products that would not need a model number or picture but would need a description. I know exactly how to change the column headings for all categories, but is there a way to change the column headings for only a few of the categories but keep the rest the same? I have searched the forums and haven't found anything. Has anyone seen any thing like this. Any ideas before I dive into the code would be helpful. Thanks, DavidF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 This would require an extra field in the categories sql table (say int). Once you create/edit a category you could assign a page layout (again integer) to it. On the catalog side the index.php could include the associated page layout (now includes the product_listing.php module) once it parses the new sql field. If that field say its 0 it will load the origianl listing. If its 1 it will load the new listing1 and so on. Fairly easy to do. Ideally you could integrate a template to quickly have different layouts for the category. At least it gives you an idea of a possible approach.
