Frequently Asked Questions

Question: After installing the module it worked fine, but after some modifications to the CTGY page template, it reverted back to the Miva default product display. Everything else works, page numbers, subcategory listing, breadcrumbs. But the settings under the “category product list layout” no longer function.

Answer: This can happen if Category Product List Layout is in point and click mode, even though our template is selected in the version history. Here is a quick solution:

1. Expand your store link
2. Click on Pages under your store
3. Select CTGY page to edit
4. Click on the Category Product List Layout tab at the top
5. Select ADS Category Master template in the version history box and click restore.
6. Click on the Advanced mode under the version history
7. Click update at the bottom of the page
8. You may want to name this template in the notes field to make it easy to identify

Doing this should prevent the template from being reset in the future. Just make sure you do not switch back to point and click mode.
