Web PAges Display

I have two categories that I want to display articles

The first category page allows me to choose from a long list of Display Pages. I chose Category Grid (Shallow Item Display) (Category Grid 2.aspx)

My content display is set to Category Grid Page 2.

The content itself is set to Display Page : Store Default
Content : Webpage Page

Everythign in this category displays correctly and is linked correctly.

Then I go to the second category I want to be similar and I only have two choices for the Category Display Page - Store Default and Basic Webpage

I have Store Default, and whenever I set the content to Category grid Page 2 - it changes the first category so nothing is linked!

What am I doing wrong? Can I not have two different categories using the same content script?

When you switch to Edit Mode at the bottom of each page, note the page file name displayed to the right. Probably says ~/Categorygrid2.aspx or something like that.

The settings you set in the Edit Mode apply to any instance where categorygrid2.aspx is used. In other words, they're global to the page file name.

The best way to do it is to copy the webpage.aspx file into separate file names. Reference those file names in your site and then you can use Edit Mode to specify separate settings for each page.
