Default Different category templates?

Hi everyone!

First of all - osCDox is great!! Very happy to have found it!

Now to my question: How can I have different templates for different categories? What I would like to have is one for each..startpage, categories, info and article pages...Is this possible somehow? Or atleast have different startpage and the rest..

I tried to also look in the oscommerce forum but I do not have a clue on where to search..Anyone know where this template system(I assume BTS with STS) is discussed?

Thankful for any help or tips about this issue!

1) BTS is one template system
2) STS is another template system

oscMAX uses BTS (the better one in my never so humble opinion)

where I would look to make the change is in application_top.php and the change would be to set up 2 arrays, one with the pages/sections and another with the template directory for that page/section so that $pagearry[2] and $pagetemplate[2] were properly matched. Then some code would do a check to see what page is being offered and then based on the page would load the proper template directory.

Thanks met00,

I know that the STS and BTS is different..But there is a BTS with some STS twists in it that I thought oscMAX used.

Do you know if there is a extension for this out there somewhere? I am surprised that there is not a extension for this I have to say!

i have no idea where it would be. as a designerer I try to create a common look and feel and flow to the store, so that it doesn't jar the users experience, but that's just me. We all design what we like and not everyone likes the same thing. That said, my proposed kluge is about 8-10 lines of php (since it's for one store, just hardcode it initially, then if you have time, write a admin piece and pull it from the tables).
