Hello,

I have exactly the same issue with "All Listings". I would like the image to be to the left and description to the right - below the product name, but above the price and add to cart button. Just like it is on the individual product page.

Searched for it on the forums and found this thread, which is not finished. Can someone explain how to do this please?

I have the newest Zen Cart 1.5.0
Thank you.

OK, my husband fixed it for me, but I thought I'd share a little bit.

You need this file: tpl_modules_products_all_listing.php, which is in \includes\templates\template_default\templates.

Copy the whole templates folder into includes\templates\classic before you make changes.

The description - look for $display_products_description - is under the picture, because it is in its own row in the table. What you have to do is to remove the row and copy the code into the same column as the name. Make sure you put it inside the "if" statement that checks for the name so you will only have one description per name.



Here's the code:

if ($disp_sort_order->fields['configuration_key'] == 'PRODUCT_ALL_LIST_NAME') 
 {
echo $display_products_name;
					
if (PRODUCT_ALL_LIST_DESCRIPTION > '0') 
{
  echo $display_products_description;
  echo '<br /><br />';
}
}

Actually, it should be copied to includes/templates/your_custom_template. One should not use classic or template_default for edited/changed files.

Ok, I did it properly and everything seem to be working fine apart from boxes.

on Wiki is says: "You also need to copy the sidebox settings from the table layout_boxes; this can be done using the addon Import/export layout settings."

BUT this link doesn't work and I'm not sure how to export/import box layout from the database. I tried searching for the addon, but couldn't find the one that works.

Hi everyone,

I'm in a similar situation and my searches have led me here. I've tried a good many things I've come across but I just don't seem to be having any luck and I'm running out of ideas.

On my site's main product display page, I'm trying to get the description/details/price/add to cart/ etc. to be to the right of the main product image - seems simple enough in theory, yet i'm stumped

Was hoping someone would be willing to take a look at the mess I've made, hopefully sprinkle some science liberally onto my brain

To see what I'm talking about, please take a look at:

Any help is always appreciated!

Thanks
