Column Layout Grid v2.x Support

[Fisherman]

The </form>, I believe unchanged from stock, is after the alpha filter:

  // draw alpha sorter
  require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING_ALPHA_SORTER));
?>
</form> 

Can you let me see the site?

Wish I could but it's on my hard drive. I'm running Apache on my computer to develop the site. Any way I could edit out the ip and path in my last post?

I see that form tag. It's there. Must be something else.

You can only edit posts for seven minutes. After that, if it is really important, you can ask one of the moderators to do it.
If the ip address and path will let others get to your site, why can't you let me see it?

Did you verify that you have the addition to the if() statement? Does that part (independence from manufacturers filter) work correctly now?

It's installed on my local hard drive so it can't be viewed by the public until I upload it to a server. I have XAMPP on my local computer.

All of the above is verified.

Then the filepath in your post should be irrelevant to security.

No. I'm still looking for a place to add the </form> tag. Looking at the source of the page, it seems that the ending form tag is missing from the first dropdown and the beginning form tag is missing from the second one that controls the grid. See below:

<form name="filter" action="http://192.168.1.117/menstore/jewelry/big-linked" method="get"><label class="inputLabel">Filter Results by:</label><input type="hidden" name="sort" value="20a" /><select name="filter_id" onchange="this.form.submit()">
  <option value="" selected="selected">All Manufacturers</option>
  <option value="4">Fox</option>
  <option value="8">GT Interactive</option>
  <option value="9">Hewlett Packard</option>
  <option value="7">Sierra</option>
  <option value="3">Warner</option>
</select>

<div id="viewControl"><select name="view" onchange="this.form.submit()">
  <option value="rows">List</option>
  <option value="columns" selected="selected">Grid</option>
</select>
</div></form>

I just need to find where to add them.

You don't want to add those tags. It is all one form for sorters; whichever sorter is clicked will trigger form submission and processing of that sorting method.

I see.

We looked around and lots of people are having the same problem with the manufacturer sorting. The only one we've found that have made both grid and manuf sort work together are the ones who made this template: Scuro Template So I'm going through it to compare. Don't really know what I'm looking for though.

From the date of that template, I expect it is using the original (v1.3.8) version of Column Grid, which is much simpler and has no sorting modifications from stock. So it is not really relevant to the issue. (It is compatible with v1.5.x, even though product_liating.php changed; the change was minor and it still functions as it used to.) I'll do some testing of mfr sort vs. list/grid sort to see if I can find a conflict.

[gjh42]

In my test site (with the demo products), the manufacturers filter works correctly, and the list/grid sorter works with or without the manufacturers filter enabled. So the question is, how is your site different from stock, aside from Column Grid?

[gjh42]

I still haven't gotten a definite answer: does the list/grid sorter work independently of the manufacturers filter now for you?
