    help question Major Layout Change

    Is it possible to change my product layout so that all products appear in a table and on one page like the attached jpg? My customer has 1400 products that he wants displayed in this fashion.

    You would probably get replies faster if you made it easier to see what you want, rather than fiddling around downloading and unzipping a jpg which is still too small to easily read.

    At any rate, since the standard product listing is already a table, there should be no problem restyling it to have a desired form. 1400 of anything is pretty extreme to display on one page, but you can condense it as much as you want by selecting elements to display or not in Configuration > Product Listing, and altering the stylesheet.

    Sorry gjh... here's a link to the original site:
    http://www.carbonlessondemand.com/sh...ex&cPath=1_2_3

    and to the what they want the final product listing to look like:
    http://www.ncrforms.com/home.php?xid...4ae8488e6f46cb

    also something screwy is happening with my tables here:
    http://www.carbonlessondemand.com/sh...=index&cPath=1

    the banners on the bottom of the left hand side are supposed to be on the right hand side. I think Im missing a div somewhere, but im not sure what file to edit. This is the last time I work with a template (customer purchased a template for zen). Its given me nothing but grief!

    The view source has the look of a Template Monster template, with dozens of levels of nested divs replicating the original table layout. TM is notorious for making templates that are hard to modify, and disable standard admin functions.

    The desired table setup would require a bunch of custom coding. Essentially you would be wanting nothing but the price and buy now button showing. If the different quantities are entered as different products, it would be mostly a matter of organizing things.
    If you want the quantities to be attributes (choices) of a single product, that is possible but would require advanced coding. Listings are not set up to process the form requred to enter choices - you need to go to the product info page for that.

    You actually have an extra closing div (</div) somewhere. I noticed when I tried to validate the site. With firefox I tested by removing the </div> right before this:
    <!-- cont_center --> Perhaps that will help you find it.

    jetture,
    that took care of that problem... thanks!

    gjh,
    I think im going to just rework the site to have 25 product types with more atts to select from instead of 1400+ products in a small table. If the client is that desperate to get that look, I'll just design and code myself instead of breaking apart and putting zc back together again. tahnks for all your help!
