Column Grid / Single Listing Template Alternative

[dw08gm]

Hi Niccol

I encountered the same problem as Tony Sar with both 150 and 139 versions.

There were 9 error messages with IZarc unzip software but I was unable to copy and paste these messages anywhere.

Dumbfounded.

OK well I will zip it on a windows machine later today and see if that helps. I can't claim to be a expert in zip stuff. All I do is press choose the 'zip' option and it seems to happen just fine. But am working on a linux machine so ....

Hi Niccol

If you put *** in the filenames of the zips, this may be the problem, as it appears a common denominator.

Just a thought.

Cheers

Duh! Yes of course.

Attached is a new version without that beginner's mistake.

@Kim

If you read this then the same issue exists on the version uploaded to free software add ons. Perhaps we could change that

Hello there,

Thanks for this nifty little mod. Just one question. Is there need for any tinkering with CSS at all? Just that when I alter it to Rows, the layout seems to appear like this:-

I think my template maybe a factor, but thought I would check with you first. It installed like a dream by the way.

Many thanks in advance,

James

Hi James,

Well that is a 'problem' inherent in column grid and some set-ups. The problem is that the 'boxes' in the grid are set to have a width of 49.5%. Then in your case the template adds padding to the boxes which makes them too wide.

So as a start you may want to try this:

.centerBoxContentsProducts{
padding:0!important;
}

That should get you some of the way and then you are probably going to want to style the box contents. so you could start with:

.centerBoxContentsProducts{
padding:0!important;
text-align:center;
}

Glad you liked the install. Could you let me know which of the various downloads you used. I made a numpty error on the zip files and want to check that the most recent is working OK.

[niccol]

Oh, and if you want to see what the boxes are doing you could add:

.centerBoxContentsProducts{
padding:0!important;
text-align:center;
border:1px solid red;
}

temporarily obviously

[niccol]

Sorry, you have it set to rows?

I assumed that it was columns.

Can you confirm that for me.

Hello Niccol,

Sorry I switched back to rows temporarily, but it was columns where I saw the misalignment. Been tinkering a little bit today lol. Thanks so much for the code, I will try it and reset to Columns and get back to you.

Much Obliged,

James
