Set Default template for category page in Magento
magento
Solution
I was using layered navigation and my xml update was overwritten by catalog_category_layered handle
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layout>
<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</catalog_category_default>
<catalog_category_layered>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</catalog_category_layered>
</layout>
Problem
New to Magento. Can any one guide me how to define a default layout for category pages. Tried local.xml in my theme folder but not working. Here is my xml file :- ``` <!-- Default handle, loaded on most pages --> <default> <reference name="head"> <!-- Remove Magento's default assets --> <action method="removeItem"> <type>skin_css</type> <name>css/print.css</name> </action> <action method="removeItem"> <type>skin_css</type> <name>css/styles-ie.css</name> </action> <action method="removeItem"> <type>skin_css</type> <name>css/styles.css</name> </action> <action method="removeItem"> <type>skin_css</type> <name>css/widgets.css</name> </action> <action method="removeItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>js/ie6.js</name> </action> <action method="removeItem"> <type>js</type> <name>lib/ds-sleight.js</name> </action> <action method="removeItem"> <type>js</type> <name>varien/menu.js</name> </action> <!-- Add our assets --> <action method="addCss"> <stylesheet>css/font-awesome.css</stylesheet> </action> <action method="addCss"> <stylesheet>css/jquery-ui.css</stylesheet> </action> <action method="addCss"> <stylesheet>dist/css/style.css</stylesheet> </action> <action method="addCss"> <stylesheet>css/ddSlick.css</stylesheet> </action> <action method="addCss"> <stylesheet>css/parsjewellers.css</stylesheet> </action> <action method="addItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js</name> </action> <action method="addItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>js/jquery-ui.js</name> </action> <action method="addItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>js/ddSlick_jquery.dropdown.js</name> </action> <action method="addItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>dist/js/script.js</name> </action> <action method="addItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>js/my_site.js</name> </action> <!-- Add additioanl child blocks --> <block type="core/template" name="boilerplate.head.meta" template="boilerplate/page/html/head/meta.phtml"/> <block type="core/template" name="boilerplate.head.ie8" template="boilerplate/page/html/head/ie8.phtml"/> </reference> <reference name="header"> <block type="directory/currency" name="custom_currency_selector" template="currency/currency.phtml"/> </reference> <reference name="right"> <remove name="paypal.partner.right.logo" /> <remove name="right.permanent.callout" /> <remove name="right.poll" /> <remove name="cart_sidebar" /> <remove name="catalog.compare.sidebar" /> </reference> <reference name="left"> <remove name="currency" /> <remove name="left.permanent.callout" /> <remove name="tags_popular" /> <remove name="left.newsletter" /> </reference> </default> <catalog_category_default> <reference name="root"> <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-left.phtml</template></action> </reference> </catalog_category_default> <print> <reference name="head"> <!-- Add our assets --> <action method="addCss"> <stylesheet>css/style.css</stylesheet> </action> <action method="addItem"> <type>skin_js</type> <name>js/script-ck.js</name> </action> </reference> </print> ``` Any help would be highly appreciated.
