Call that template instead of the default one in the common/home controller

There is no "turn on", you have to do it by hand.

In order to use an on and off status, what you`d be looking for is a module. Opencart already provides a category module from the admin - > extensions - > extensions - > modules page. All you need to do is to install, then edit the module. In the edit form, enable the module. Then, save the changes. Once the successful message appears on the redirected page, you will be informed that a layout can be defined for your activated module. Click on the layout link. Set the category module route for your home page (you can look at other routes on that list for an example) and save the changes. You will be all set to view the categories from the home page.

By default there is template category.twig.


I need to create the same template with custom CSS styles and HTML structure. How to create that and display only on the main page(home)?

You could easily do this by using your replicated category module by using jQuery and add it to your own category TWIG file without the need to use any additional extensions. See this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/784 ... ing-jquery . Or you can always find an extra one from the MarketPlace.

No it is not suitable for me. Can I create some templates of category.twig and use then on several pages?

Yes, this could be done easily within a JS or you could create a new PHP controller and return the values you'd require inside another main controller so that each associated peace of TWIG files you'd like to integrate could come together.

No problem. Simply download an extension from the marketplace.
