How to add new Product Templates with Quick View

If you want to add new product templates with Quick View the steps are as follows:

If you are using a theme:  

  1. Open the folder of your default product template.

    Note: If you are using theme that overrides the product template you will have to open the location of the product template view in the theme itself. For example in our Tiffany theme the product template is located at Themes\Tiffany\Views\Product folder.

  2. Copy the default product template - ProductTemplate.Simple.cshtml.
  3. Rename it as you like (for example NewProductTemplate.cshtml) and make your changes in the new file.

In Quick View:

  1. Go to Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.QuickView\Views\QuickViewCatalog.
  2. Copy the default product template view that you will find there - ProductTemplate.Simple.cshtml.
  3. Give it the same name as the theme product template - NewProductTemplate.cshtml
  4. Now you will be able to use the Quick View with the new Product template.
