Responsive Classic (built in to Zen Cart v1.5.5) [Support Thread]

[mendo1]

Hello. I'm wondering if the responsive classic template can be set up to show the product listing pages as rows of 2 or 3 columns like the category pages do, rather than all the products in one long column. I understand that one column is best for mobile devices, but on a desktop I'd like to see rows, if that is possible. I'm working on a test site of 1.5.5f in preparing for an upgrade. Thanks.

Take a look at the plugin named "ColumnGridLayout_for_155f", seems to do what you want?

Not sure CLG will work on a single product, but it does need some help when working with responsive_classic. https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....66#post1348566

CGL is only for the products pages.

I once used a plugin that had grid layout for new, featured and specials.
Here's and old one for all and new products you might be able to use a guide to mod your current installation.

If I find the other one I'll update this post.

I may have mis-understood what you are trying to do.
If you are trying to display the regular products as multiple columns and rows on a desktop then CGL should do what you want

Thanks for all the input. Yes, I am trying to list all the products under a particular category as 3 rows of columns instead of one column where each product takes up the full width of the page. That works for mobile but on a desktop it's nice to be able to see more products at one time and if your images are not tiny, it leaves a lot of blank space on the page. The subcategories display that way already, but not the products. It sounds like CGL may do what I want. I wasn't sure if it would work with the responsive classic but I will give it a try! Thanks again.

Be sure and look at the link in my earlier post. You will need to make some changes for CLG to work with responsive_classic.

CGL works great with the responsive_classic template. If CGL is the first plugin you install and follow the instructions it should go very smoothly.
That css tweak dbltoe's link takes you to is a fix for landscape mode on small (mobile) devices.

Hi. I tried to install the CGL plugin, but when I try to run the SQL update from the admin, I get an error. Trying to run the SQL in MyPhpAdmin, I get the error:

SQL query: Documentation

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order,
last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)
VALUES ('Product Listing - Layout Style', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE', 'rows',
'Select the layout style:<br />Each product can be listed in its own row (rows option)
or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)<br />
If customer control is enabled this sets the default style.', '8', '41', NULL,
now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'rows\', \'columns\'),')

MySQL said: Documentation
#1062 - Duplicate entry 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE' for key 'unq_config_key_zen'


I'm not sure what to do about this. Tried it several times with the same result. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you thinking of SNAF (which is what I have been using since creation)?

Otherwise I am not too clear on what you are trying to do since column display on mobile vs desktop screens can also be controlled by CSS. But this may require a look under the hood rather than simply installing a plugin.

Hope this helps.
