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?

Re: Styling Manufacturer/Category Pages

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.
