HTML is product description OF product listing.. other questions!

[xfourninetwox]

I am not sure if the above is meant as a single response??
If it is please note that the product description function can only contain html coding - - NOT php code

Sorry, I meant that I couldn't get the clean html working for some reason. I searched the forum for zen clean html and found a thread. I copied and pasted the recommendation into my product listing php page but saw no result? Nothing seemed to change, I tried it again while using something similar from another thread and got a blank page.

Hey, I attempted to replace any zen_clean_html with the /*zen_clean_html*/ in my /includes/modules/product_listing.php file, still no results. What am I doing wrong?

We can't tell without seeing exactly what you have done, and where.

          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(/*zen_clean_html*/(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;
        } else {
          $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(/*zen_clean_html*/(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';
        }

    //  $list_box_contents[$rows][] = array('params' => 'class="' . $list_box_description . '" colspan="' . $zc_col_count_description . '"',
    //  'text' => zen_trunc_string(/*zen_clean_html*/(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION));
    //}

replaced anything with "zen_clean_html" with "/*zen_clean_html*/" like mentioned in that thread

If that's all you have done, and it is in the active copy of product_listing.php, it will work.
You say you edited /includes/modules/product_listing.php; is there a file at /includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php? That is where you should save any edited copy of the file, not in the original location. If there is a copy there, it will override the original one.

Are you sure the edit got saved when you uploaded the file? Download the file, or look at it in place, and make sure that the edit is there. Permissions could prevent an edit from saving.

You know, that was it! I had completely forgotten I had made a folder for my own template a few months ago with my own product_listing.php in it. Thanks very much.

And one last question and I'll stop bothering you!

What file do I use to edit out some things on the product listing pages?

For example: I added the product model number to the top of each image. I find the code as

<div class="productListing-data">JAA002</div>

I tried making a css option to have it a bit bigger and bold but it didn't seem to work, or I don't know exactly how to go about it.

I'd like it to resemble the catalog/model number oh http://justaaudial.net/releases.html

Also, I was able to hide the itemTitle in css, but when I tried to float the "Buy Now" button it floated it all the way to left of the page so that it wasn't justified with the paragraph. Maybe it would be easier to delete the cost/buy now section from the php and just add it into my item description in html? (I suppose then it would double up when someone clicked on the product and saw the product description page! )

[xfourninetwox]

any ideas for this last one, or is it just not possible?

[gjh42]

Should be possible, but will take more time than I have right now to work out. Be back later.

[xfourninetwox]
