    Default Product listing...

    Hi there, I would like my product listing to display like the listing in the "new/all products" section. I like the clarity of how the products are displayed on these pages, however, in the acutal product listing within my categories, i dont!

    here is an example of what i like http://d1drift.biz/zencart/zen-cart/...e=products_new

    and here is an example of what i dont like but have! http://d1drift.biz/zencart/zen-cart/...ndex&cPath=1_3

    now the reason it looks a little cluttered, is i've turned the max description to 400 in hope that it would add a gap between the images (silly i know!!)

    can anyone help me on this please as the site is in its last stages, and would like to get it completed!!

    many thanks
    Jas

    New, All, Featured, and product listing all have different layouts - you would have to custom code this using the layout code you prefer from those files

    How would i go about doing this Kobra? and what files would i have to re-code? unfortunatley my programming skills are still in the very early stages, so would there be any examples i could use as a guideline?

    Unfortunately no examples or guides if there is not another thread around this...

    As I looked quickly, there are 2 files each for this;

    new listing:
    tpl_modules_products_new_listing.php
    tpl_products_new_default.php


    product display:
    tpl_modules_product_listing.php
    tpl_tabular_display.php

    These call on different sets of products and this has to stay the same and it is only the layout/display code that needs moving....

    If you try this - make sure you only edit copies - retain the originals

    Thanks for that, I will have a look. So far, i've just edited the stylesheet and added a horizontal line and space at the end of each poduct. this has made a considerable difference in the asthetics of the layout!! hopefully by editing the tpl files i will be able to get what i'm looking for!!

    once again Kobra, thanks for the advice! this forum is totally awesome my knowledge is growing day by day!!

    Ibowenc, I just added this code at the very end of my "stylesheet.css" file. located in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/

    .productListing-odd td, .productListing-even td {
    text-align: left;
    vertical-align: top;
    padding:1.5em;
    margin-bottom: 5em;
    border-bottom: 1px double #cccccc;
    }

    this has added a HR and space to the end of each product! which gives the "product listing" more of a "new products" layout! for total control of the layout like Kobra has said, you need to edit certain tpl files. hope this is of some help :)
