Different template/theme per category
 

I was wondering if there's a way or even a mod that allows an admin to select a different theme or template for a specific category.

Example:

Category1:
-- Red colored theme with image set 1

Categoery2:
-- Blue colored theme with image set 2


Thank you!

We have purchase the skin swap one, but I haven't implemented it yet, so I couldn't tell you much about it.

it is relatively easy with new version.
{if strstr($current_category.categoryid_path, 'xyz')}{include file=xyz.tpl}{/if}

xyz.tpl can be your header, footer right nav, subcat.tpl or even home.tpl or even .css file.

it would be a headache to maintain all the files in longer run therefore i would recommend having css and top portion of site changed.

i hope it helps.
