Different templates for different Seasons

[jigga1234]

I have searched the forums but have not been able to find out what I am looking for.

 

Basically I have a store that sells products in two specific areas Skiing and Sailing. I have a basic store setup at the moment and am using sts templates. What I would like to do is to add a number of further templates so that I could acheive the following.

 

1.When a cutomer goes to the index.php they will see a template that has both Skiing and Sailing elements in it.

2.If they click on a Sailing categories the next page they see will only have the template with all Sailing references on it no SKI.

3.If they click on a Skiing categories the next page they see will only have the template with all the Skiing references on it no SAILING.

4.If they click on a Sailing product the page will only contain the Sailing product info template no SKI.

5.If they click on a Skiing product the page will only contain the Skiing product info template no SAIL.

 

I have all the templates created (used cs3) thats the easy bit. I am just really struggling to find a way of adding the templates and assigining which manufacturers will use which template.

 

Hope anyone can offer any advice

 

Cheers

Hmmm

I suppose the easiest way would be to have two stores, one skiing one sailing.

Then a splash page, to let the visitor choose.

There are other more coded ways but its going to be expensive and give you the same result more or less.

OSC version 3 has a template feature but im not sure how it works or if it has that functionality.

Thank you for your response.

 

I did not think it would be this complicated.

 

Is there not someway of including an if statement to control which template is chosen

 

I cannot write these but for example if manufacturers id=13 use template sailing.html, if manufactueres id=24 use template skiing.html.

 

Could this work?
