Unique template for only one manufacturer's page?

I need to make different template for a single manufacturer and leave the rest of the site with another template. Is this possible? If so, can I get a little direction?

I see how I can change page types, but I don't see specific/single pages.

I have the e-start ZenCart Book if that helps to reference.

Thank you for any help.

As in all of the products from a single manufacturer?

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Yes. Just one manufacturer. So, if you sorted by Manufacturer A - it would have one template. If you sorted any other way (Manufacturer B, C, type, etc) it would be another template.

What kind of differences do you need for this particular manufacturer-specific template?

Will CSS-only changes be sufficient, or do you need to enable/disable sideboxes and change the layout of product-listing components and more?

If it's only CSS that needs changing, you can probably use the per-page-css functionality to override the normal CSS settings by adding a stylesheet for that manufacturer.

The layout can remain the exact same. Just some colors and the header image can change.

Can you give me a hint on how to access the css per page stuff? A page number from the book or maybe a link to a tutorial? I'm not very good at this.

Thank you so much for your response so far.

In your Zen Cart files, look at the /docs/ folder ... you'll see a file named readme_css_system.html
