cPath Question

[DannyVarley]

Hi There!

I know this can be done I just dont know the proper syntax and hope someone can quickly tell me what I need, So what I want to do is have a different product listing for all the products in catagory ID 3.

I know that I need to put something in main_template_vars.php I just dont know the proper syntax, In laymans terms I think its something like if cpath=3 then use tpl_product_listing_other.php

Can one of you guys tell me what that is in proper language!!

Thanks,
Daniel

Nor do I but I believe that you are looking at adding an if/else to
tpl_modules_product_listing.php

Would the following work or am I doing things too complicated?

$path_ids = explode('_',$_GET['cPath']);
if $path_ids[0] = '3' then
blah blah blah code
} 

This is purly something I have taken and tweaked from another thread so Im not sure if it the easiest way to go about it.

You could use:

if ($current_category_id == '3') {
// blah blah blah
}

When you say a different listing for each product in category 3, are there sub-categories off of category 3 that each will have the same "different" product view? In other words there being a tree off of category 3 that all have the same look, but are different then the tree off of category 2?

Ask because the above addresses the product specifically in category 3, but not product within a subcategory thereof. A good/quick and dirty solution for what seems to be the present question.

[DannyVarley]

Yup there will be a tree under category 3, So I want the product listing to be different for everything in category 3 as the master category if that makes sense.

Then would want something more like:

You could use:

if (zen_product_in_category($product_id, '3') {
// blah blah blah
}

Where $product_id is the id of the current product.

In the file I referenced somewhere in here you need an if/else

<?php
/**
 * load the list_box_content template to display the products
 */
if ????????? require ??????your desired template alteration file
else
  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_tabular_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_tabular_display.php');
?>
