    Default Styling Manufacturer/Category Pages

    Is there a way to style specific category pages or manufacturer pages differently from the rest of the site?

    Like if you are in manufacturers listing A then you can have a black background and main image at the top with text about that manufacturer, but when in Manufacturer B it has a white background, etc...

    Check the readme file in includes/templates/classic/css for a description of the general idea.

    That is some great info to know in that read-me. Thanks!

    But how about if you want to add some content to above the listings on a manufacturers page, the same way you can on a category page?

    The css control over individual manufacturer pages is incredibly powerful! But does anyone know how to go about adding individual defines areas to each manufacturer?

    For example, is there a way to add defines for each of these pages?

    /index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=12

    /index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=32

    etc...

    Is this the wrong section for the question?

    I don't understand what you mean by 'defines' for those pages.

    Hi thanks for the reply. I mean that in the category pages, content can be added to the top of the section (such as images and text about the category). I am asking how to be able to do this for manufacturer pages... I have figured out how to change the css for manufacturer pages, but need to be able to add text about each manufacturer.

    There's no provision for a Manufacturer description that I'm aware of, so it would require custom coding.
