Multiple tpl_main_page.php

[jsico]

Apologies is this is answered elsewhere - I couldn't find it!

I'd like to serve one tpl_main_page.php for most of my site, and a different tpl_main_page.php for product info and checkout process pages. Is there an easy way to do this using the zen cart model?

I can post screens or links if need be, but my question is general at the moment.

Thanks for your help!

Oops. This is definitely exactly answered by the Override system. I'm not really sure how I missed that part.

For what it's worth (and in case some other bad searcher finds this), I made a folder called "shopping_cart" inside my template folder, with the appropriate tpl_main_page.php in there. Easy!

Yes, you can apply a customized version of just about any template file to a particular page.

Look at the comments at the top of tpl_main_page.php (and a few other files I think) for starter info about this. There should be something in the FAQ/tutorials too.


...Great, you found it!
