category class

Hi Alice, it would be great if you can elaborate more about your requirement. 

Are you referring to the knowledge base categories? If yes, do you want to customize a specific category in your portal to have a different layout? 

In the above cases, you can go to Admin -> Portals -> Customize portal (on the required portal) -> Layout & pages -> Portal pages -> Select 'Solutions category home'. In this page, you need to make the necessary customization to the page with the condition to change the layout for a particular category by specifying the category ID. 

In case you want to customize a particular folder, you need to select 'Article list' from the Portal pages and make the required customization by specifying the folder ID. 

Hi Sajesh,

thanks a lot for your answer. I see what you mean, but I have some questions, I try to explain better:

- I would like a custom visualization for a specific Solutions Category Home & its Article Lists (namely the video tutorial) + another visualization for all other categories and lists. So, basically I need two custom layouts.

What is not clear to me in regards of what you suggested is: if I specify one ID what happens to the layout of the others?

Thanks!

 

Basically, all the pages will be in their default format and layout. When you specify a particular ID and customize the layout, it creates an exception and the changes are considered for the specific ID only. However, you can preview the changes before publishing it. 

this means that one cannot have two custom layouts, is that right?

 

adding the id at the beginning such as here <section class="main content" id="solutions-category-17000033579"> doesn't seem to work for me, the custom layout works for all categories anyway.

is is possible to make a conditional statement such as {% if article.category: 17000033579 %} ?

thanks!

 

You mean two custom layouts for two different categories right? That's possible. You can specify the required IDs and customize the layout for each of your categories.
