Change category.html for Only 1 Category
Right now when I add a Category Template to a Root Category it affects the Root and all sub categories. I want to be able have different Category Templates for all Root and Sub categories.

Sound Possible?

Thanks,

Craven

Best fix for that is to do something like;

Cat - TEMPLATE: category.html
Cat > Sub - TEMPLATE: category.html
Cat > Sub2 - TEMPLATE: category.html
Cat > Sub3 - TEMPLATE: othercat.html
Cat > Sub3 > Sub 1 - TEMPLATE: category.html
Cat > Sub3 > Sub 2 - TEMPLATE: category.html
Cat > Sub3 > Sub 3 - TEMPLATE: category.html

Cheers

Andy,

Where would I do that at? :)

Then for the category you want a different design for, put it in the 'Category template' box. Make sure to manually set the directories below that (only 1 level deep) back to category.html as their template set to use.

Hi Andy:

I would like to use different template for each category. How can I do that inoder to do build/build All for each category?
What should happen to category.html?

I have read the forum but have not yet been successful.

Thank you, peter
