Different background color for each category??

[surfer]

I have 2 main categories and want to have a different background color for each and the same color for the products info.

I can change the background via the below but don't know how to have a seperate color for each category?? Any ideas??

catolg/template/css/stylesheet.css
TABLE.productListing {
background: #FFFFFF;

Ok, fixed this one myself. Not sure if this is perfect but I'm learning as I go and it worked nicely.

The below changes make Oscommerce look at the Category ID and run the Stylesheet matching that Category ID. Eg: Category 3 will run Stylesheet3.css

File: catalog/templates/*your template*/main_page.tpl.php

Replace

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATES; ?>stylesheet.css">

With

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATES; ?>stylesheet<?php echo $stylesheet_number ?>.css">

File: catalog/includes/application_top

Replace

 if (tep_not_null($cPath)) {
   $cPath_array = tep_parse_category_path($cPath);
   $cPath = implode('_', $cPath_array);
   $current_category_id = $cPath_array[(sizeof($cPath_array)-1)];
 } else {
   $current_category_id = 0;
 }

With

 if (tep_not_null($cPath)) {
   $cPath_array = tep_parse_category_path($cPath);
   $cPath = implode('_', $cPath_array);
   $current_category_id = $cPath_array[(sizeof($cPath_array)-1)];
   $stylesheet_number = $current_category_id;
 } else {
   $current_category_id = 0;
   $stylesheet_number = '';
 }

Now Oscommerce will look for the Stylesheet that matchs the Category number. So you will need to create stylesheet1.css, stylesheet2.css etc in catalog/templates/*your template*/

Now you can edit each stylesheet.css file and have different category backgrounds, fonts etc.

There's probably a cleaner way to do this but I only have 3 categories so no biggy.
