hello i have many categories for my site and i just wanted to use a diffrent main.tpl for a perticular category , is it possible ? using different wrapper is possible i know because you have that option to change it when you add the category. I have tried adding a complete default template with other name and changed the main.tpl and tried adding the template name to the category but i failed, It gave some error, something like this when i have added it locally. Warning: fopen("templates/default/my", "rb") - Permission denied in c:\apache\htdocs\wsnlinks\filefunctions.php on line 338 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\apache\htdocs\wsnlinks\filefunctions.php on line 341 Please help me in this. warm regards trraju

First, main.tpl is not a category template. It's the main index template. So, a custom main.tpl for a category is nonsensical since categories don't use main.tpl. To give a category a custom template or custom wrapper, click 'edit' by the category. Warning: fopen("templates/default/my", "rb") This states that there is no file named 'my'... which would be an odd name for a file anyhow, and can't be a template since a template would be a .tpl. Also a custom templace would normally be in the 'custom' subdirectory.

well i can understand that its non sensical but here if i want to change the way category looks i have to change main.tpl right ? wrapper changes only header and footer right ? ok let me be more specific : visit hostonary.com there on main page you have 4 main categories and you have many subcategories for those 4 main categories. Now i only want to change the way the subcategories looks inside the "host country wise" main categories. Yes i can chage the displaylinks.tpl but it will change the look of all sub category page however i want to change the view of subcategory only in "host country wise". I am confused here.. which file to edit and what i need to do ? regards

To repeat myself: main.tpl is the template for the main index page. It has nothing to do with the category template, which is displaylinks.tpl. Also repeating, so set a custom template for a category to be used in place of displaylinks.tpl, click the 'edit' button next to the category.

An example of what you might type there is custom/wsnlinks.tpl
