Hi
I try to change the template using an local.xml file. But the changes are not picked up (template path hints is on).
This is the code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<!-- removed blocks -->
<remove name="right.permanent.callout" />
<remove name="left.permanent.callout" />
</default>
<!-- Test 1 page template overrides -->
<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-twins.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</catalog_category_default>
<!-- Test 2 page template overrides -->
<page_two_columns_left translate="label">
<label>All Two-Column Layout Pages (Twins Theme)</label>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-twins.phtml</template></action>
<action method="setIsHandle"><applied>1</applied></action>
</reference>
</page_two_columns_left>
</layout>
Test 1 have no effect at all.
Test 2 works if I set the Default Category (in admin) to: Page layout - No layout updates.
So, two questions: why does not test 1 works and why do I have to set Default Category to No layout updates for Test 2 to work? I must be missing something simple and basic.
The custom theme is just a copy of the default/blank theme package.
