Any want to choose viewlisting template for different categories?

[rockabilly +]

What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
v4.2.0 Developer

What template are you using?
Default

Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

Is there any way to specify which version of the viewlisting template is used by category?

For example, if I have two categories, cars, and motorcycles, can I select cars to call up the viewlisting2.tpl, while having motorcycles call up and use the viewlisting.tpl?

Thanks in advance...

The viewlisting.php file is where either the viewlisting.tpl file or viewlisting2.tpl file is assigned for display. There's already an 'if-else' clause near the bottom of the file. You could try modifying it to something like:

if($lDisplay==1 && $rs['section']=="22")
   {
      $class_tpl->assign('body','viewlisting.tpl');
   }
   else
   {
      $class_tpl->assign('body','viewlisting2.tpl');
   }

where "22" is the category id.

Hello Blair,
Thanks for the help. I did modify it as you indicated below, setting the category ID. When I tried it just as shown below, it changes the template for all categories. I wasn't able to set just that one specific category.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you...

If it's changing it for all categories, the "&& $rs['section']" portion is causing the 'if' statement to be false.

Did you change the category id?
Did you try it without double quoutes?

This is a custom change and to be honest, isn't supported. But the information supplied should be giving you the nudge you need to play around until a solution appears.

Thank you Blaire for the tips. I got it figured out :-)
