Download the Column Layout Grid for Product Listing module from the Free Software Add-ons section (link above), and install it into your zencart.

In your Admin>>>Configuration>>>Product Listing:

Product Listing - Layout Style columns

Then, choose whatever elements you'd like to display in the cells.

You will need some custom coding for that; there is nothing available premade.

It might not be too difficult to modify /includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php and possibly the associated tpl file to do this.

can i just modify the /includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php script to get my result or shall i need modifications in other scripts too ?

if yes what scripts modifications i need to do for that purpose ?? (in which part ?) please give me some idea becoz i am totally new to zen cart and my boss assigned me all this job without letting me know what is zen cart.

The other file that will likely need some modification is (I think)
/includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php.
That handles the actual outputting of the content prepared in product_listing.php.

You probably want to start from the stock (/template_default/) versions of these files rather than the Column Grid versions, as your description indicates that you don't want any multi-column display.

First set the fields you want to display using admin > Configuration > Product Listing - "0" for a field is off, a number is the sort order in the table row. Include the image in the list (probably at the end, where it will be easier to relocate); otherwise, the image information will not be available to the page.

You might find my "flexible product listing" posts to be helpful in seeing how to manipulate the listing elements. There are some other threads from several months ago where we discussed moving listing elements around.

This will require some skill with PHP; if you don't have that, you need to get someone who does (maybe in the Commercial Help Wanted forum). Your boss shouldn't expect you to accomplish this task by yourself if you are not a programmer.
