title: How to duplicate product template in opencart
body: <p>I am very new to opencart but I think this is easy and best solution out there. Although playing with templates is not a joy...</p>
  
  <p>I am struggling to create some additional template pages. For example I have two types of products and category pages. I want to different templates for different products. In opencart you have only one layout for products. </p>
  
  <p>What I thought to do is to make a duplicate of product layout. I got some help online but I am still not sure what more is needed. This is what I've done so far...</p>
  
  <p>1 - Copy the controller file of catalog/controller/product/product.php and changed to catalog/controller/product/product-2.php. Then I changed this in controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this-&gt;config-&gt;get('config_template') . '/template/product/product-2.tpl')) {
      $this-&gt;template = $this-&gt;config-&gt;get('config_template') . '/template/product/product-2.tpl';
      } else {
          $this-&gt;template = 'default/template/product/product-2.tpl';
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>2 - Then I copied the product language file and save as product-2</p>
  
  <p>3 - After that I copied the actual tpl file and save as product-2</p>
  
  <p>It was looking fine but if I try to make some changes to product-2.tpl nothing changes. Do I have to copy some more files to complete it?</p>
