Flexible Product Listing [support]

[gjh42]

SNAF in Plugins is a melding of Single Listing Template and the beta version of Flexible Product Listing (as far as I know). It is not a beta mod, but fully tested by its author niccol. I don't think it has yet been updated to incorporate the latest features of Column Grid/FPL, but look at the description to be sure.

Thanks for responding Glenn

I've been reading through the readme's and skimming/searching through various threads for some clarification and am now very confused/muddled. I was looking at SNAF and thought it was built on the core Column Layout Grid add-on and wasn't sure whether the differences between CLG and FPL would make something break or just too difficult to get working together.

I don't want to go backwards in regards to your FPL, so I will try to research with compares between the files of SNAF and FPL and see whether I can merge them together.

Cheers

Looking over the SNAF thread, I realize that it never had FPL code incorporated... it must have been someone else who talked about using that as a base. I can't say much about merging them as I haven't studied the SNAF code to know how it handles things. I ought to do that I suppose, but now is not a good time; I have actual current mod projects that I can't get to enough because of real life work these days.

Thanks for your time Glenn. Totally understand and appreciate your responses given your circumstances.

I did a compare of the files in both mods and they're very different. I'll either remove FPL and go with SNAF (based on core CLG) or just stick with FPL for now. Re-building my site and trying to concentrate on what I can get going successfully and relatively easily now but will be coming back address to some of these other 'wants' later. ;-)

Take it easy

I see this in read me[FONT=georgia, serif], '[/FONT][FONT=georgia, serif]It is also compatible with Listing Subheadings, which allows you to add headings above desired items inside category or product listings,', but i cant see how to incorporate listing sub headings, cant find the settings, can anyone advise?

thanks

Listing Subheadings is a separate mod in Plugins. "Compatible with" means that they will work together when both are installed, not that Listing Subheadings can just be turned on from FPL.

ah, i see, thanks

Hi, I just installed this mod, and I'm not sure if everything was done properly.
First: I have two languages, and one of the languages shows <product name> <product description> <image>...
The other language shows <product name> <image>... No way I can get the product description to display.

In my admin/configuration/product list there is no setting for the description, so I can not choose whether I want it displayed or not and where in that case. I do want the description, in both languages, and I want them under the <image>.


Problem 2: I see there is no <div> defined that spans only all the [centerBoxContentsProducts]. I'm designing a fluid layout, so I want the actual number of [centerBoxContentsProducts] to vary as per the viewport width.

How to do that I know, it's a matter of CSS, but it requires a <div></div> around all the [centerBoxContentsProducts]. Where do I put that code?

<div id="centerBoxContentsProductsWrapper"> and an ending </div>

Problem 2 I have solved now. I found the location to place the div:

line 29 and down

... >display_links(MAX_DISPLAY_PAGE_LINKS, zen_get_all_get_params(array('page', 'info', 'x', 'y', 'main_page'))); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php
}
?>
<div id="centerBoxContentsProductsWrapper">
<?php
/**
 * load the list_box_content template to display the products
 */
if ($product_listing_layout_styl

and at about line 52:

...<?php if ( ($listing_split->number_of_rows > 0) && ((PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '2') || (PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '3')) ) {
?>
</div>
<div id="produ....

Leaves the first question open...

OK, I'm a noob, but the css isn't working for me, it doesn't appear to be included for files. Tried to stick it in everywhere but doesn't seem to be changing anything. So feel like helping a noob out? lol
