Problem with Column Grid Layout in 1.3.5 - Please Help!

[khopek]

If you were to set up a fresh install of Zen Cart using demo products (in a new folder and new database), make sure it's displaying normally, and then install the column-grid layout files and database-settings, does it work properly?

when i setup a fresh install using demo products, the products on the main page showed in a grid style without image handler installed.

For me, it's only in the "NEW PRODUCTS" and "ALL PRODUCTS" that is showing up in one row. In the categories, the products are showing in the grid layout.

That is normal behaviour.

If you would like a grid layout for the "all products" and "new products" listings, you will have to rewrite the modules and templates for those pages as well.

Ahhh! Well that makes sense, but is now driving me crazy. I guess I never noticed it didn't work for those pages before. So I guess I'm stuck with that since I do not know anything about rewriting stuff.

I have just set up a new install on 1.3.5 + future_zen and all is working OK so far.
Now I try to install Column layout and have installed the files and when I try to cut+paste sql notes I get this message:

"An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admin/sqlpatch.php could not be found on this server."

I have no idea what it means.

Anyone please.

Make sure what you're pasting looks like this

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order,
last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)
VALUES ('Product Listing - Layout Style', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE', 'rows',
'Select the layout style:<br />Each product can be listed in its own row (rows option)
or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)', '8', '40', NULL,
now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array("rows", "columns"),');

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order,
last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)
VALUES ('Product Listing - Columns Per Row', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW', '3',
'Select the number of columns of products to show in each row in the product listing.
The default setting is 3.', '8', '41', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);

OR you can always just upload the SQL file that comes with the installation

and make sure you have the column layout grid for 1.3.5

"An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admin/sqlpatch.php could not be found on this server."

This is a result of your webhost running mod_security and having it configured to block SQL commands.

You might have better success running the commands via phpMyAdmin instead.

DR.

That is a first for me but it worked OK and columns set in web.

One foot forward and onward.

Many thanks.

reddog73 & others,

Try adding/editing this in your stylesheet.css file

.categoryListBoxContents {
	float: left;
	}

Wow Kobra you're a lifesaver. I had been looking all over, ripping apart my viewsource and stylesheet trying to figure that one out...my subcategory images were all in a vertical line to the left (all in one column) rather than three subcategories per row as I wanted. For the life of me the forum search wasn't providing anything helpful until I came across your post. I sort of figured there was an easy solution but I didn't know what it was!

PS Hopefully I've loaded enough keywords in here to help the next person wanting to find this answer.

Hopefully someone can help me too.

I installed the Column Grid Layout, but didn't like the way it looked/lined up. So, I changed the setting back to "rows" in the Admin>Config>Product Listing.

Now I've got duplicate product descriptions!

One lined up nicely beside the image (the way I want it-except for the centered alignment) and another below the image.

I KNOW it's somewhere in my template, but I don't even know where to begin to look. I can change the template setting in Admin to "Classic" and the second product description goes away.

Any ideas?

Here's the page...LINK\

Edited to Add: 1.3.5 fresh install - and I used the mod for this version.

Boggled;

Looked at the link and did not see "Now I've got duplicate product descriptions!"...

Did you get this sorted?
