Column Layout Grid for just ONE category

[ljdream00]

Is there a way to add the Column layout grid install tojust one category and have all the other catagories using the row layout?

Thank you in advance for your quick response.

No ... that's not a built-in feature of the mod.

first question .... "why" ?
second: what's your URL ?

First answer....Why? you ask....because I WANT IT...LOL....

Well...just being honest here...
Here's the situation. I have a custom template that I've revised and on one of my categories instead of the row version I have, I would like to have the grid version. I want this only for the category that says " In-Stock Units". If you go to "Custom Units" category, you will see the row version....

To answer your second question, My website is http://www.lacefrontsecrets.com

I knew that it was probably far fetched to get this option, but you all here have helped me create WONDERS with my site, so I guess I was hoping for a Miracle Super-Code from the Gurus here...LOL

Never hurts to ask!!

NOTE: Currently you are skipping the Product Listing for that In Stock Category totally as there is only 1 product and you have in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ... turned on:

Skip 1-prod Categories
Skip single-product categories
If this option is set to True, then if the customer clicks on a link to a category which only contains a single item, then Zen Cart will take them directly to that product-page, rather than present them with another link to click in order to see the product.
Default: True

UMmmm....Huh?
Let me look into this because I'm not understanding what you are saying here...Since I'm pretty knew at this whole thing, I always have to break each line of code until I understand it completely before it clicks in my crazy brain........ I'll shall be back!

Your center column for listings is so narrow it doesn't seem practical to get a grid in there and actually save much space (without cramping the text)...

[ljdream00]

Too Narrow for the grid option you say?...

Really?

After looking at it again, I believe you are absolutely correct. My center column IS too narrow for the grid.
I would have to get rid of the right column in which I'm willing to do if I can use the grid for that category only....

It would require some PHP coding, but I expect you could set up a test to include/require or whatever the column/grid version of the product listing files when cPath = your chosen category.

And you can either move all desired sideboxes to one side and disable the other globally, or set up a test in tpl_main_page.php to disable one of them for the appropriate cPath.
