Product Listing layout config.

**v.kirk** · 13 Jun 2006, 05:05 PM

i will make this as simple as possible,

my product listing layout currently looks like this...

i want it to look like this....

how would i do that?

You would create a copy of the product_listing.php file in modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME directory and edit the layout to that which you want. It's not that difficult, but would require some basic php and CSS skills.

ok, i have some basic knowledge with both, i have some web development tools that may even make it easier... idk yet

any other replies are still helpful

what parts of it would i change? would it have to be a complete remake? or does anybody already have a code that looks like how i want it?

It's not a complete remake. More of a tweak in the relevant places. You would probably just leave the MySQL code that extracts info from the database alone and much of the rest of the file would remain as is, so you only really need to concentrate on amending the code that outputs each products details, cutting it down to the info you want and displaying it in a column format. You will find similar code in modules/feature_products.php which already does this.

You might peek in the Downloads and find the:

Column Layout Grid for Product Listing

I believe this is in the Other Modules ...

If using the Column Layout Grid mod and your images are different heights, they may mess up the layout. I just reverted a design to a single column because of this issue. The solution is to make you images the same height and width but when there are lots of them it is easier said than done.

Hope this tip helps you avoid a headache

You can also just have the images align at the top ... or the text align at the bottom to allow for height differences ...

I've been using the Column Listing mod in a 1.3.0.1 just fine.

Now I'm updating to 1.3.0.2 and observe significant enough changes to /includes/modules/product_listing.php
that I'm having a wee bit of trouble integrating mod code into new file version.

Version of product_listing.php I'm using with 1.3.0.1:
* @version $Id: product_listing.php 3240 2006-03-22 04:10:45Z ajeh $
* UPDATED TO WORK WITH COLUMNAR PRODUCT LISTING 04/04/2006

New product_listing.php in v.1.3.0.2
* @version $Id: product_listing.php 3688 2006-06-02 00:12:18Z drbyte $

Anyone know if the Column Listing mod has been updated for 1.3.0.2?
