Column Divider Pro (CDP) Contrib - Official Thread

[Athens Collectibles]

Good day to everyone if this thread is still monitored.

I installed it after the Column Layout Grid mod and made some small changes to achieve what I wanted. It all works as expected except for two minor issues which somebody might guide me to solving and have my bless. The changes I made are as below (amendments in red, additions in blue):

1) Changed the 4x4 delim_v.gif to a 1x1 grey dot.
2) Changed the includes/templates/my_template/css/stylesheet_dotline.css from

.vDotLine
{
    background-color: transparent;
    background-image: url(../images/delim_v.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    background-attachment: scroll;
    width: 20px;
    font-size: 1px;
}

.hDotLine
{
    background-image: url(../images/delim_v.gif);
    padding:1px 0;
}

to

.vDotLine
{
    background-color: transparent;
    background-image: url(../images/delim_v.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    background-attachment: scroll;
    width: 20px;
    padding:1px 1px 0px 0px!important;
    font-size: 1px;
}

.hDotLine
{
    background-image: url(../images/delim_v.gif);
    padding:0px 0px 1px 1px;
}

3) Changed two lines in the includes/templates/my_template/common/tpl_columnar_display.php from

....
....
<table width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="15" border="0">
....
....
	echo '<td width="'. (intval($col_width) - 0.5) .'%" align="center" valign="top"><div' . $r_params 
. '>' . $list_box_contents[$row][$col]['text'] .  '</div></td>' . "\n";
....
....

to

....
....
<table width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0" border="0">
....
....
	echo '<td width="'. (intval($col_width) + 0.5) .'%" align="center" valign="top"><div' . $r_params 
. '>' . $list_box_contents[$row][$col]['text'] .  '</div></td>' . "\n";
....
....

Now, the two issues I'm asking help on are:

1) The above amendments have changed the dotted lines to solid thin grey lines which form "boxes". That's exactly what I needed and it appears perfectly in Chrome. However, there is a very small gap on the left of each horizontal line in Firefox and IE. I have played around with the -0.5 value of the php file. If I leave it at -0.5 the gap is a lot more wide. If I change it to +1.0 the gap disappears but then the last column is narrower than the other two by about 15px. The +0.5 is the closest I can get to having equal column widths and a 4px gap.

2) The second issue is not related to this mod but somebody might be able to help. I just want the Buy Now buttons to be aligned at the bottom of each box but can't find a way to achieve this. It could be a simple css line or not.

Any help will be appreciated. Wishes for a nice Sunday and kind regards from Athens.

How did you manage to have the add to cart button in the main page in categories? I've tried everything that I've read in this foroum. If you could please help me. My demo site is http://www.koufetakia.gr/eshop/index...dex&cPath=3_10

I'm not very sure what you are referring to. The link of your demo site does look identical to my http://www.athenscollectibles.info/i...dex&cPath=3_36 page, except that it also lists Featured New Products etc. The same applies to your home page compared to mine.

I may be able to help if you are a little more specific. Καλό απόγευμα και καλές γιορτές.

I got my answer in another topic.

Hi sorry i can't help with your issue. But is there any chance you can please tell me how you managed to get your products to display in rows rather than columns on your specials page located here:

http://www.groupiegear.com/kstore201..._page=specials

As I am trying to get my specials page to display like all the other pages that display products in rows rather than in columns.

Thanks.

First off you need to apply this add-on to your store, it basically will take care of that, then set it in the configuration of your admin section.

The instructions are in the read me too.

Hi and thanks for getting back to me. Sorry for the late reply as I wasn't notified of your reply for some reason.

Anyway I installed the mod but it just creates dotted columns on my specials page and some others.

I also could not find any settings in my admin panel to change this.

Are you sure this is the mod you are using to make your specials pages display in rows rather than columns or is it another mod you have installed?

Thanks again for replying and your help much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Erica

Never mind I sorted it out by installing the Single Listing Template mod although I made changes to the mod to suit my needs as I only wanted my specials page to be changed.

Thanks.

yes I do and you can remove the dotted line by probably commenting out in the css file that came with it...maybe.

I also have another mod called column layout grid plus single listing template edit or three_columns_grid_for_new_and_all_products_pages_0-1 Folder if I remember right...been that long since I installed them the final one was because I wanted not just the ones for column divider pro but also the new, featured to be in rows not columns

I also have different ones installed in my sore and the others I handle. I think I have in my personal store the column layout grid and three_columns_grid_for_new_and_all_products_pages_0-1 Folder and single listing template---the first ones for sure


you could try those last three after removing the divider pro one to see

sorry

You are told in the read me to go to admin/configuration/Product Listing - Layout Style and set it to columns...even if it is already that way go ahead and uncheck then recheck it to set it.
