    Default How can I stop template switching applying to products?

    As per the title really, I want to use the same template (template.ascx) for every single page on the site with the exception of 2 category pages which I want to use template2.ascx - I have succesfully done this using template switching but.......
    Any products in those 2 categories are also being rendered using template2.ascx

    In an attempt to fix this, I've created an appconfig called Templateshowproduct.aspx & given it a value of template2.ascx - but this has failed to work - I guess the order of precedence is the other way around.

    Any ideas how I can solve my problem?

    Default This solution may serve you better...

    That allows you to create it per category, not for all categories, as is seems the method you are trying to use.

    Wow - this is a blast from the past... 2008!

    I didn't actually get to stop template switching applying to products - but - I did discover that an xmlpackage is a better way to handle this :-

    Have the xmlpackage determine what page you're on & show content accordingly.
