Thread: Product page load specific skin - showproduct.aspx.cs

Hi guys,
Ok, I know how to load "one" template for each product in showproduct.aspx.cs

example:

if (CommonLogic.QueryStringUSInt("ProductID") == 20)
{

SetTemplate("template_wedding.ascx");
}


But I can't seem to get different products to load different template pages. For example
I want all the products in Category1 to load: template1.ascx
and all the products in Category2 to load: template2.ascx

Changing:

if (CommonLogic.QueryStringUSInt("ProductID") == 20)
to
if (CommonLogic.QueryStringUSInt("CategoryID") == 1)

doesnt do it.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Well, if your template switching is based on category. You'd rather use the default Template switching of the store. Set the AppConfig: TemplateSwitching.Enabled to true, then on the Category section of the Product Management page, click on the Extension Data, you should see the Use Skin Template field.

Thanks Jao,
I did that, but for some reason my product pages do not inherit the previous skin. Perhaps there is an issue with my showcategory or showproduct page storing cookies properly.

Please try clearing out the browser's cookies, considering that the skinning is cookied. See if that resolves the issue...
