I could really use some help!!

[Darion]

ok I will check it out thank you for that and will post results in a day or two once I try it out some.

[Darion]

Thank you for posting in the other thread gjh42 I could not find this one which is why I had to make another one. Anyway I have tested the new updated version and the implementing of it was simple took no more then 5 mins. I do however have one problem and this is more my problem then the add on you made which seems great and everyone should try.These listed below are the things it is supposed to do: well for me I see numbers 2 and 3 but no 1. How do I fix this as it is still staying in list mode for me?

1)Product Listing - Layout Style
Set the type of layout you want to use. By default, the current Zen Cart layout will be used.
It is called "rows". If you want to use the grid layout, choose "columns".

2)Product Listing - Columns Per Row
Type in the number of columns you want to show on each row should the visitor select Grid view from the public website.
This setting will be ignored in case the customer chooses List view from the public website.
The default is 3 columns.

3)Product Listing - Layout Style - Customer Control
Set whether you want the customer to choose the layout. By default, this is disabled.

Should I try uploading the whole sql the one that says if you do not have this mod or is there a way for me to fix this?

Here is my site again for reference:mysterydrawer.com (be advised this is an adult product site)

Thanks for your time and responses!!

Ok I now see option number 1 and have set it to columns however still nothing my site is still stuck in list mode. How do I fix this please I have tried everything I can think of!!

[gjh42]

Did you upload the files to your custom template folders? You may need to make new folders for some of the files. You definitely have tpl_index_product_list.php, but I can't tell about the others.

[Darion]

I did upload them and I do have them all. I made sure of it!! For some reason I see all three changes and the drop down is there for the customer to change it. But when I do it stays in row mode and will not switch to columns.

[gjh42]

I installed a new local test site yesterday, so I can now test this mod myself. I'll do that hopefully tonight and see if there are any issues with the code.

[Darion]

Ok would posting the code from those pages help at all to see if something is missing from my site to make this work.

[gjh42]

Probably not, as long as they look like complete files they most likely are. If you turn off the customer switch from admin, does it disappear from the page? Do all the files have a recent date or my name in their head comments?

[Darion]

When I turn off the customer option it does disappear from the page. As for the dates and your names it looks like two of the three do have your name on them with a current date. This one however does not it seems unless I missed it somewhere:

I didn't add notes to that version of the file (I do have them in the most recent version), but my edit is there:

if (defined('PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE_CUSTOMER') and PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE_CUSTOMER == '1') {
echo '<div id="viewControl">' . zen_draw_pull_down_menu('view', array(array('id'=>'rows','text'=>'List'),array('id'=>'columns','text'=>'Grid')), (isset($_GET['view']) ? $_GET['view'] : (defined('PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE')?

}
