Fixed ViewMode

I would like to fix the view mode of one category, but keep other category normally. It causes the ajaxFilter not work. Please help.

I have tried the following conditions, but all does not work:
(1) Change "CatalogPagingFilteringModel.ViewMode = list" at CatalogController; (FAILED);
(2) Without "viewmode-selector", redirect to current url with viewmode=list by javascript (FAILED);

Hi,

Opening the category with viewMode=list or grid in the URL is setting the view mode.

Your approach to redirect to the page with viewMode parameter should work. The other variant is to change the view mode with JS/jQuery on page load.
