    copied!<p>Is there a way we could changes the layout of a Magento page (let's say a product category page) dynamically by using system variable which have been set on our own module? I want to be able to set my category page's default layout via my own module admin config panel. So that I don't have to deal with those confusing XML layout file each time I want to change my default layout for a certain magento page.</p> <p>I know, on a phtml file, we could simply call our own module's system variable by calling <code>Mage::getStoreConfig('module/scope/...')</code> to use that system variable. but what if we want to use that system variable to change the whole layout which is set on the XML layout file by default. </p> <p>I don't see any ways to pull that system variable value on the XML Layout file.</p> <p>But I'm pretty sure there must be a right way to do that. So far, this is the closest clue that I've got</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5596193/magento-xml-layouts-specify-value-for-ifconfig">Magento - xml layouts, specify value for ifconfig?</a></p> <p>But, still, I couldn't find any direct answer for what I really want to achieve</p> <p>this is the content of my config.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;config&gt; &lt;modules&gt; &lt;Prem_Spectra&gt; &lt;version&gt;0.1.0&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/Prem_Spectra&gt; &lt;/modules&gt; &lt;global&gt; &lt;models&gt; &lt;spectra&gt; &lt;class&gt;Prem_Spectra_Model&lt;/class&gt; &lt;/spectra&gt; &lt;/models&gt; &lt;helpers&gt; &lt;prem_spectra&gt; &lt;class&gt;Prem_Spectra_Helper&lt;/class&gt; &lt;/prem_spectra&gt; &lt;/helpers&gt; &lt;/global&gt; &lt;/config&gt; </code></pre>
