Reformating Product Listing

[jimA]

Hi,

Nice support site you have here.... congrats.

I have my product categories arranged in the following way:

MainCat
___SubCat1
##########_SubCat1a
##########____Prod1a <---- [product-listing]
####################_Prod1a Red
####################_Prod1a Blue
####################_Prod1a Green
##########____Prod1b
####################_Prod1b Red
####################_Prod1b Blue
####################_Prod1b Green
##########_SubCat1b
.
.
##########_SubCat1c

I'm interested in modifying the Product-Listing (table) such that it displays the product-image only (as a link to Product-Info) and and can have multiple product-images on a single line (row).

Usiing the tree above, I would like 'Prod1a' to list just the images (each color) across a single line.

I reviewed product_listing.php, hoping to find the table being drawn there, but as I'm sure you know, this is done by submodules....

Any assistance would be appreciated. Jim

You can turn off the display of everything except the product image (which is a link to the product info page) in admin > Configuration > Product Listing.

To get the listing into rows of images, download the Column Layout Grid mod (Downloads > Other Modules).

PS - This method will work with "Prod1a" defined as a subcategory. If you want/need the "Prod1a" to be a "product", this will not work. You will need to make your colors into attributes, which can be displayed with swatches on the product info page.

Glenn, thanks a lot for directing me to the column layout grid mod... it
installed like a charm and worked first time. Appreciate your fast and right-on response. Jim

Hi again, I've found since adding the column layout grid mod, when I click through Prev and Next on the product info page, the category sort order for the items is not followed... seems quite random. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance. Jim
