How to create a category page with different Category layout

Post by vinayjain »

Hello,

I need to make a category page with just ProductName and price without image of products and SKU.It would just contain list of product names and prices in plain text.I guess I need to create a new say (_category.html) file and select that in the template layout file.I need to know the procedure for the same.

Simply making a duplicate of category.html (as _category.html) and changing the logic doesn't help as I don't see _category.html in the template layout file selection combobox in category admin panel.What all do i need to do here?

Any help will be appreciated.

Where did you save the _category.html file? Should be dumped in the /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/ folder. Once in there they should show up where you are looking in the category admin.

Hello,

I made another page template and saved it as _page.html and also another category template and saved it as _category.html and placed them into the /templates/MY_TEMPLATE/-folder.
But I don't see them in my admin section.
I use ISC version 5.5.4 Ultimate.
Is this an known issue or do I something wrong?

Thanks for helping me.
