X-Cart forums

[JimR]

Hello All,

I'm new to X-Cart and excited to get started. I'm beginning development on the new version of my site and I've been reading through the forums here quite a bit. One thing I couldn't find is whether or not it's possible to have separate templates for each category, or at least call a different header depending on the category. I'm thinking of an Amazon-like top menu where the menu bar changes depending on the category selected. This will have a lot to do with how I design my header(s), and that's where I plan to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Jim

something along the lines of

{if $cat eq "1"}
Show this header HTML
{else if $cat eq "2"}
Show that header HTML
{/if}
{/if}

etc.

You can detect if the customer is on the homepage

or if they're in a particular static page

Lots of handy tips here
