    Default Attribute display problem

    I have been trying to get the attributes to display horizontally across a page, but no matter what I try they only display vertically.

    Here is a link to the issue:http://www.strongstownemporium.com/s...&products_id=1

    I have tried every combination I can think of in the Catlog>Option name manager.

    Any suggestions.
    I am using ZC 1.38

    I did that and the result is what has been frustrating me. Take a look at the page now.

    I needed to set the attributes back to display, so the above message is invalid.

    What happened is that the color swatches did not dipaly at all when I changed the rows to 6.

    Anyone else have any suggestions?

    I solved this problem in a very inefficient way. I added html to the description of the item to display the colors available and then added a drop down box as an attribute.

    Now I have to copy and paste that html to every product description that needs the colors, about 25 products. Always another way to skin the old cat, even if it is not the best way.

    I just can't figure out your problem myself.....

    Did you download a template???????
    Did you modify the tpl_product_listing.php file????

    Gosh, you make this look so easy. I've been tearing my hair out here. I need to add the attributes to only about 4 products, and just don't seem to be able to get there. I generally "get it", but this has me stumped.
    For instance, I have pet products, a dog collar that comes in three sizes. I chose Size with a radio button, and hit insert
    and it goes onto the list. For the values, I choose size and have three sizes, like 6"-10" Neck, maybe I should have made that Neck Sizes. But the Name Size has a radio button, and nothing in values has a radio button so I can't even get to the sizes. Is it the quotes that make this difficult. I actually apparently did this for the other color, and for the life of me, I don't know how I did it. Gosh, maybe tomorrow things will look better.

    One other problem, when I go to Index Listing in the admin, it says I have Errors & Missing Products for New Products, Speical Products and and Upcoming products. If I look at the site, it appears fine until you click the link in the Left Column.
    Then it appears the entire center column collapses. Where to I look to rebuild that?

    Any shove in the right direction will help greatly. I'm new at this. Figured I'd begin my donations next week when I hope to have everything up and running.

    I did some checking and I did make canges to the tpl_product_listing file. Tried restoring it and had the same results. I think I am going to keep the page using the html in the description.

    Thanks for your input.
