Can Product Detail page order match product listing order?

**Monster Pawn** · 8 Apr 2007, 12:04 AM

I looked around a bit but couldn't find an answer to this question.

As items sell on our store, instead of removing the item completely, we modify the photo to say "SOLD" and reduce the quantity to none so people can see the types of items we had online in the past.

In the product listing for each category I used sort order to put the sold items at the bottom of the list, but if you go to a product detail page and then click "NEXT" to cycle through the products, the items display in alphabetical order. Is there a way to match the sort order from the listing page to mirror on the product detail pages?

I tried changing settings in the "Configuration/Product Info" with no luck.

I am running ZC 1.3.7 - You can see an example here:

Any help is appreciated.

It would take some php magic with the GD extension, but you basically need some logic that looks at the quantity and overlays that "SOLD" text accordingly. That code will need to go in the files where product images are looked up and loaded, so start with

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
and
/includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php

You should create a version of these files in your own template folders if it does not already exist. Also remember that "tpl_product_info_display.php" may be the wrong filename, if you use custom product types.

Do some research and let us know when you get too baffled.

He wasn't asking how to modify images/display, he wanted to be able to view the product info pages by sort order, as he does on the listing pages.
The files mentioned are likely the place to start...
