Changing attributes layout

[Nipepusy]

Hi
Have looked but can't find how I can change the attributes listing from vertical to horizontal. EXAMPLE http://www.helmethiders.com/catalog/...roducts_id=212
I would like the colour option to display horizontally accross the page.

Would most appreciate any comments.Thanks,
NP

well, I can tell you whats doing it, <br class="clearBoth"/>

and it should be coming from /includes/modules/attributes.php

this appears seven (!) times in the file, and I'm not quite sure which one if causing the trouble....it may be all of them, its a rather large scary file

what I would do is
A) make an override directory in /includes/modules so your not playing with the original
B) make a backup anyway
C) start commenting them out and see what they do, a simple // in front should do the trick

There is a tag inside the file called products_options_images_per_row, but Zen admin can't seem to find it in any files. unless you include the [' '] on the end. Sigh.
admin, catalog/option name manager is the file, but bugger if I see how to make it work.

Thanks, TMC_Sherpa

I'll try your suggestions - could take me a while!!

TMC_Sherpa - Success -
went to admin, catalog/option name manager and set 4 rows and 4 images per row - works!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction..

Glad it worked. One of these days I'll check for admin options first :)

Do any of you know how to make each unique option (including both its name and values) display next to each other? It seems like it would be related to this, so i thought i'd ask here. i want my option values menu to still dropdown, but i want to arrange all the options horizontally.

thanks for any insight you may have,

Try

#productAttributes .clearBoth {display: none;}

It's rather an all-or-nothing effect. If all your attributes can display on one line it may do the job right.

[shocker]

 #productAttributes .clearBoth {display: none;}

The above CSS doesn't work because it removes all .clearBoth from other elements within the attribute display area resulting in very funky layout.

However I got the desired horizontal affect. See Nahid Fashions' Signature Chic I

I created an override copy of /includes/modules/attributes.php in my template directory.
I then changed all (7) the occurrances of

$tmp_attributes_image .= '<br class="clearBoth" />' . "\n";

to

$tmp_attributes_image . "\n";

That seems to have worked and only affects the attribute images.

is there a way to get the drop down to work like this?

1 image at a time

so when i pick a option from the dropdown it loads the image for that attribute option?

instead of having 20 images load all pver the page


thx
