Unable to make column grid show more than 1 column

[ZSchinelli]

Hello! My first thread. I have been searching the FAQ's for 3 hours to no avail. I have uploaded the Column Grid Layout and changed to "Column" and 3 columns per row. I am unable to find the solution. Here is a link to the site and the one page with products loaded:

Thanks!

That output could be caused by a missing mod version of /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php. The stock version is only able to handle row output, and outputs the elements with row-type formatting. Check your copy of that file.

Thanks for the reply. I checked and that is where I get confused. The help text for the Column Layout Grid v1.3.8 said to place the two files in folders that don't exist.

One is includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php, and the second is includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php

Therein lies the problem. In my includes/templates folder neither the "classic" or my custom "darkness" folders contain a sub-folder named "templates". And in my modules/ folder there is only a folder for "classic" and it contains an empty text file. Did the instructions imply I was to create folders to match those links?

The sad part is I have successfully installed the column grid layout on an identical site design. http://www.posterheaven.com

One is includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php, and the second is includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php

YOUR_TEMPLATE needs to be replaced by the name of the template you are using and in your case it would be darkness if you don't have the necessary folder then you need to create one for the file needed for your mod.

I am totally aware of that. There is no "Darkness" folder in the modules folder, and there is no "Templates" sub-folder in the templates/darkness folder.

I was smart enough to figure that much out, sorry I didn't make that more clear to you. There is no includes/modules/darkness/ folder and there is no includes/templates/darkness/templates/ folder. I will let you ftp in if you want to see exactly.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the responses.

I solved the problem by uploading the product_listing.php to the parent modules folder. I did not place it in the "classic" folder because I am not using that, and my template folder "darkness" does not exist in the modules folder. Hope that helps anyone who gets stuck.

The instructions say includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php, but it is actually includes/modules/product_listing.php

Thanks again for your help.

And that my friend is why you need to create a folder for YOUR_TEMPLATE which is called darkness in order for you to follow the instructions in the add on...........

YOUR_TEMPLATE needs to be replaced by the name of the template you are using and in your case it would be darkness if you don't have the necessary folder then you need to create one for the file needed for your mod.

If however you choose as you did to not use the template structure then do it any which way and then ask for help when it does not work

@ gjh42 & usernamenone Thanks for your time and responses. I will create the folders.

The mod could afford to add a simple line that says you need to create the folders so folks like me wouldn't need to bother the community.

Thanks again...closing
