based on the grid/list drop down, are you sure you do not have flexible_product_listing installed?

[DeeL]

Positive. However I do have "Set number dropdown" installed. I forgot to mention that. That mod recommended SNAF for the pages that it cannot control.

What changes were made to your site?

Did you install any new mods?

Did you make any admin changes?

What are the errors in your error log?

As stated earlier - SNAF does not use a list/grid drop-down that I am aware of, that is a flexible_product_listing feature.

Are the following options in admin > configuration > product listing

Product Listing - Layout Style
Product Listing - Columns Per Row
Use Product Listing Filter for Column Display
Use Style Changer for Product Listing

Well, I have no problem with the zip file and many others have not. I am not saying that there is not a problem - just that I can't find it. May well be an OS/version/compression software issue.

@Deel
Well, that doesn't look too much like a straight-forward install of SNAF. But either way, what has been said is true. What have you done/installed/changed in the last week that may have effected this.

I don't understand how it isn't a straight forward install of SNAF. I simply followed the install instructions.

Now you come to mention it, I did install Admin New Order (I think it is actually called Admin New Customer). I assume it stopped working after this was installed. Are you familiar with this mod and why they may conflict? I am going to go through and remove it from my test site and see if that fixes it. I'd rather have the ability for customers to see all products in a the all, new, featured categories. Set number of products also stopped working.

The reason that I do not think that it is a straight-forward install of SNAF is the list/grid dropdown and various other bits and pieces of code. The dropdown being the most visible. That is not a SNAF feature. I am sure of that as I wrote the SNAF code and didn't write a list/grid dropdown. SNAF does have that functionality but it is handled differently.

So, that comes from some other module that you have installed now or in the past. And put bluntly, there is no way of knowing what is conflicting with what because we do not know what you have installed.

G'day Nick

I've installed Flexible Product Listing, which I like so far and didn't want to revert (although my new build is still in development stage and little real testing). I wanted to use a product like Single Listing Template and SNAF, however both of these seem to be built on the original/core Column Layout Grid :-|

Comparing the files of the two add-ons; SNAF and Flexible Product List, there are a LOT of different files and quite a few changes in product_listing.php. No CSS stylesheet in SNAF, which is probably why I'm liking FPL so much.

Any suggestions for me? A merge option possible? Can these two live together in harmony? Even better... any chance of an update to SNAF built on FPL?

Cheers

Hi Nick, you had mentioned in an earlier exchange here that you didn't know of a reason to want FPL features instead of straight Column Grid when in columns mode. The differences in control are not as profound as in rows mode, but FPL does give a lot of handles for individual product elements that are not present in Column Grid. Its grid mode also has a version of the "sort by" code like standard rows mode has so users can set the criteria for how the list is organized. (I don't know if SNAF has that.) The latest Column Grid also has the grid mode sort order settings. Just wanted to clear that up:)

Thanks Glenn. I certainly rate fpl. As I think I say in my first post I wrote SNAF just because I needed it to do things the way it does things. i think that between the various modules that cover the territory a good range of stuff is provided for users.

I am a bit loathe to do too much more development on it to be honest. That is partly because i know that the zen developers have some thoughts about incorporating something similar in a future release. if you could start at the core you could make the process much more streamlined than a module so that would be much preferable for everyone.

@GAM
well, for the moment I think that you will probably have to make a choice about which way to jump. A merge would be possible but would be non-trivial. As far as styling goes all of SNAF can be styled with css and it is built specifically to allow that.
