Column / Grid Layout Problem

[Andy Hillier]

Hi all. New Zen user and a little confused. I'm not computer stupid but am not familiar with PHP or CSS. As a result, I'm a little slow!

I've just installed the Column Layout / Grid Layout for Products Listing (Add On Module for Zen Cart v1.3.8) and have followed the install instructions. Other add-ons have installed OK but this one is giving the following error when I try to view the product listings...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_get_generated_category_path_rev() in /homepages/16/d189229113/htdocs/eshop/zen-cart/includes/modules/magic/product_listing.php on line 209

I think it's something to do with my directories but can't understand where. Anyone got any ideas???

My site is www/ns-a.co.uk/eshop/zen-cart/ and isn't public yet..

Many thanks

I think you installed the wrong version of grid/column layout. Look at the admin (admin/tools/server/version info) area and find out what version cart you are using.

[Andy Hillier]

I'm using Version 1.3.7.1. The install guide states that it is OK for anything after 1.3.5 unless I'm being daft....

[Marg]

Which version of Column / Grid Layout are you using?

[Andy Hillier]

I'm using the latest version from the downloads section. It reads...

Column Layout / Grid Layout for Products Listing (Add On Module for Zen Cart v1.3.8)
================================================================================ ======
NOTE: This module is updated for Zen Cart 1.3.8, therefore for older version of Zen Cart (prior to v1.3.5) you must still use the earlier version of the module. This module and instructions are exclusive to new version of Zen Cart. This will work both for upgrades as well as for fresh installs.

It may be that the above instruction is a type and should state (prior to V1.3.7).

I've not run an upgrade yet and assume it isn't too tricky. Would this be the way to go...?

[Marg]

Yes, That's an incorrect statement. It should say that it is ONLY compatible with 1.3.8 (a)

You should only need to edit or replace your includes/modules/product_listing.php

(Or includes/modules/yourtemplate/product_listing.php)
depending... of course.

[Andy Hillier]

OK.

I think I follow except...

When I remove the revised includes/modules/yourtemplate/product_listing.php file that I installed, everything goes back to normal.

Does this measn that I need to upgrate or have I failed to follow you...

Sorry to be so slow but this is really confusing...

[Marg]

You need to install this contribution:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...77&update_id=4

Not the one you have.

It looks like you only need to replace/modify the includes/modules/yourtemplate/product_listing.php with the one in the correct contributtion (above)

[Andy Hillier]

You are a star - I'll watch out next time on the old version info and never assume new add-ons are backwards compatible.

Works as it should now.

As a final thought, is there a resource page that can be viewed anywhere in the downloads section that shows earlier versions of the add-ons (like the one you sent me...)

Anyway, thanks again

[Marg]

Your version is not so old that you need to look in the older contributions, Just be sure to read which version you are downloading on the specific contribution page. With that said, there is an archived list - just in case -
