Child Category to use different template than parent category

  • Hi All,

    I am trying to create some custom pages for a wordpress blog where for one of my parent category i want to show just category names of the child categories. That works fine using this code…

    <?php if ( is_category(3) ) { wp_list_cats(‘child_of=3&title_li=’); } ?>

    Next when i click the child categories i want to have a different template to show posts that are in child category of parent category 3.

    I hope its not much confusing…
