list.phtml

Get the layout of Current Category 

$yourCatId = $this->getCategoryId(); echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock('root')->getTemplate($yourCatId);

This is to get list of all category and there layouts:

$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('id') ->addAttributeToSelect('name') ->addAttributeToSelect('url_key') ->addAttributeToSelect('url') ->addAttributeToSelect('is_active'); foreach ($categories as $category) { if ($category->getIsActive()) { // Only pull Active categories $entity_id = $category->getId(); echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock('root')->getTemplate($entity_id); } }

  • I have update the code a bit, this will give you all categories with there layouts, hope this is what you want Commented Jun 23, 2014 at 11:47
  • You can get the current category in any view, block, model or controller file, by calling Mage::registry('current_category'); Commented Jun 23, 2014 at 11:52

    @alex.ayg I guess, This works only for product view page Commented Jun 23, 2014 at 11:57
  • @TBIInfotech this works when category or product controller actions are called (i.e. category view, product view) http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.8/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/controllers/CategoryController.php _initCategory() method Commented Jun 23, 2014 at 12:01
