Kryptronic Software Support Forum

I'm ready to start working on this, but I'm not sure where to find what I need to clone in order to create an alternate Category skin.

What I want/need to do is change the display for SOME of the categories. Specifically, I need to change the Title from 'Category' to 'Product' (or similar).

The reason being that in order to use color and size options, I was advised by Kryptronic Support to create my main product IDs as Categories, and the color IDs as Products with size Options. This is in order to reduce inventory when purchases are completed, because the majority of my clothing products are one-of-a-kind.

I think it would be less confusing for the customer if the main Products don't have 'Category' for the Title. I just need to know where I would go to create a new Category skin. (I hope this makes sense!).

Thanks,

All you need to do is clone your existing skin, give it a name you like and then edit it how you want it to look. Then in the category you want just select that skin for it to use.

That depends on what you want to do but you are free to change everything if you want. If you want what ccp will input dynamically then you will need to leave those things that are labeled as required in the skin.php file. The really import line in the center is (but this want work without the skinfunc call at the top)

<?php $skinfunc->content(); ?>  </td>

which is the only area that changes everything else in the skin.php file could be considered as static or common to all pages of the site. In general you would leave the header information and the required debug line at the bottom which closes the site and information in the memory, the rest is up to you.
