There appears to be a bug where Prisma doesn't seem to properly support alternate category templates.  I duplicated the Themes\Prisma\Views\Catalog\CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml and renamed it to  Themes\Prisma\Views\Catalog\CategoryTemplates.ProductsInGridOrLinesNoSubcategory.cshtml.  I also commented out the subcategory code in the new template and assigned it to my categories in NopCommerce.  

On the first page load, I don't see the subcategories as I expect, but when try to page over to the next page, I get the message "Loading the Page Failed."  NopCommerce's error log entry shows:

The model item passed into the ViewDataDictionary is of type 'SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.AjaxFilters.Models.ProductsModel', but this ViewDataDictionary instance requires a model item of type 'Nop.Web.Models.Catalog.CategoryModel'.

The following is also logged:

The view 'CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLinesNoSubcategory' was not found. The following locations were searched:
....

I suspect the pager isn't cooperating with NopCommerce's paging mechanism.  Is there a way to fix this problem, or does selectable category templates not supported?

Why?  So you force iPad and tablet users to have a horrible user experience because they don't have a mouse?  Couldn't you use an alternative to hover?  Is there another template that doesn't have this bug?  I wish I had tested it further before buying.

The Prisma layout on the iPad defaults to the mobile view even if you request a desktop view. The iPad retina has enough resolution to comfortably display pages in  desktop layout.  What is the best way to change fhis?

I am also getting the same error message with flickering product images, but only on the iPad version of Chrome.  I just submitted a ticker refarding the problem.  It doesn't seem to be specific to my site as it happens on the Nop Pavilliom Demo producf listing page when you try to apply a filter.
