PHP pro coders help needed, product layout

[waghelak]

Hello, this is a TM template code i think and not standard Zen code. Hope someone can help.

I believe this is the right part of the code that is displaying what i am looking to change. Basically at present the products on the main page are displayed with description on the right hand side i.e
image *****************************
image*************
image************
image************
image******************************

This also includes a price and a button for more description.

What i want:

Have two products in a line with description underneath it so i can display more products in each page. two in a line all the way down.
From the wanted image you will see what i mean exactly. Also for some reason i havent got the buy now button on it too maybe its in admin somewhere which i need to turn on, however not really fussed about it as long as i have change the display in this way.

Hope someone can help, will appreciate it greatly.

code:

<?php
//templatemonster function
function tm_listing2($href, $img, $name, $desc, $price)

$price = preg_replace('/(Save:&nbsp;\d+%\soff)/i', '', $price);

You need to talk to TM about this.

[waghelak]

i am sure how everyone knows how TM operates. Especially they dont help with something which the template is not meant to do i.e change the format etc etc. Just thought someone here might be able to point me to the right code.

Put in a ticket with them first; even though it probably won't get results, enough complaints may eventually convince them to change the way they make templates. Then fix the problem yourself.

The
function tm_listing($href, $img, $name, $desc, $price)

is what forces the "details" button instead of the standard flexible Zen Cart functionality.
Compare this line with the add to cart functionality in /includes/modules/product_listing.php to see what to put in. There is quite a bit misssing, and it will take some close examination. It is possible that the information needed for the ZC standard code to work is not available in this function - you will have to try it and see. You may have to settle for recoding the button to another fixed purpose... or else scrap this code altogether and get product_listing.php back in the loop.

[gjh42]

Oops - left out the line I was referencing!

<div class="price_block price_text"><strong>Our price:</strong> <span >'.$price.'</span>'.zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/v-l.gif', '', '', '','style="margin-left:10px; margin-right:10px; vertical-align:middle; margin-top:-2px;"').'<a href="'.$href.'">'.zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'imag es/button_details.gif').'</a></div>

Cheers guys thanks for the help on this. Will see how i get on with it. Might play around with it myself as its a waste of time with TM as i have experience with it.
