Product listing, group products.

[kylef]

Hi,

I've been trying to make my product listing something like this:

Group 1
---------
Product 1
Product 2

Group 2
---------
Product 3
Product 4

I added a new field in the products table and named that 'products_group'. In modules/product_listing.php I made this change to test that I could get the value of my new field.

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE':
        $lc_price = '<div class="list-price">' . zen_get_products_display_price($listing->fields['products_id']) . $listing->fields['products_group']. '</div>';
        $lc_align = 'right';
        $lc_text =  $lc_price;

It works, I get the value next to the product price. I've been trying to customize tabular_display.php, but I get nowhere.

If $listing->fields['products_group'] = 0
Show default product listing

If $listing->fields['products_group'] = 1
echo a new header row with a custom name
list products belonging to this group

If $listing->fields['products_group'] = 2
echo a new header row with a custom name2
list products belonging to this group

i'm guessing that you are looking at the script tpl_tabular_display.php as that is the only file i found close to what you mentioned.

$listing is not available in that script from what i can tell. you need to add your new field into $list_box_contents in product_listing.php; else you can strip it out of $lc_price field that you already have.

as $list_box_contents is a multi-dimensional array, it gets a little confusing as to where to add it.

good luck!
