Magento

Hello,

Could someone be kind enough to tell me how to choose which template a product will use?  I see you can see the category template but the actual product page is using a default.  I would like to use the 3 column template for my products so other options are showing on the page but I can’t see where you set this option.

Also, can you choose which template the shopping cart page uses etc? 

Thanks

I would like to know this as well.

i believe they are set in the layout xml files (app\design\frontend\default\default\layout)

find the following line and change it for the layout you want.

the options available (unless you have added your own) are

page/1column.phtml
page/2columns-right.phtml
page/2columns-left.phtml
page/3columns.phtml

be warned that changing the layout of things like the cart may require changes in the css to keep the appearance.

hope that helps

Thanks a lot. I think your right.
