I think I have over complicated the site!

I have brands and an appropriate category using the same seo url so they both go to the same page.

Basically I want a shop by brands drop down in the top bar, so have created 'shop by brand' and the sub categories as the brands.

BUT, how do I get them to display the same? Eg some brands show the page as a category page with all the modules down a column. Others show it as a brands page with no side column. How does opencart chose which to display and how can I get them all as brands?

Thanks.

SEO URLs need to all be unique regardless if it's a category url, product url, brand url, etc.

Example:
Brand: Canon
URL: canon (yourdomain.com/canon)

Category Name: Canon (if you choose to have a category named like this)
URL: canon-cameras (yourdomain.com/canon-cameras)

The modules are all controlled under extensions -->> modules and you can choose a layout which would be category, account, manufacturer, etc and whether you want it to show in a right or left column or the top or bottom of the page.

Hope that makes sense.
