Custom layout for product list view

buzzvick Jul 27, 2014 12:26 AM

Hi all,

Can I create a template .tpl that is assigned only to either the product detail or list view?......or has any created a workaround for this below?

I want to display a list of products in a particular category, with a sub-menu down the left hand side of the page, but the detail view of the individual product to be across the full page width. I have several categories each with it's own sub-menu ( for the side).

I currently have a few templates, containing the various side menus, formatted to display as I need, but of course, this layout gets assigned also to the detail view, which is what I don't want.

Would be great to see other ideas.

Thanks in advance. DC

You can not apply those templates to tags, only modules. IF you can hold out, liquid for BC through BC.Next is just around the corner.

Thanks Liam,
Do you have any info on when this might be happening? Hoping to have this site completed in 2 weeks. Best workaround option atm is to have separate pages ( with their custom side menus) with individually tagged products displayed. The detail view for the product can then have the full width view. - Bit of a long winded way around, but I don't see any other option if this is the desired result.

Not in 2 weeks. Javascript and depending catalog/product showing/hiding etc is your option for now.

I have this same exact problem. I added a browse panel and if the product list works, then the detail view is messed up. Thank you for bringing this problem up.
