"View All" link

[sugarhill]

hi

iZilla_Pod how to hide the link "show all" when is only one page??

I came up with a pretty easy solution to this. Simply change the following lines to hide the "show all" link from listings that fit on a single page.

Change the code on around line 108 FROM:

    if (!$this->page_all) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters . $this->page_name . '=' . 'all', $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_ALL_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_ALL_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';
    else $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters, $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';

TO:

      if ((!$this->page_all) && ($this->number_of_pages > 1)) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters . $this->page_name . '=' . 'all', $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_ALL_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_ALL_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;';
      elseif ($this->page_all) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters, $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;'; 

Hope this helps!

I made the changes to the split_page_results.php and it worked great except for when I had a category with only one product in it, then nothing showed up on the page. No error, just an url with a blank page. Any advice? Thanks.

You might get the Debug Tool from the Free Software Add Ons and load that to your site to see if it lists the problem for you ...

Is there a way to exclude specific categories? I have a couple of "All ____" categories that have way too many items to show on one page.

This works fine until you go to new products and featured products and click on all products.

The link for the pages are

index.php?main_page=products_new&disp_order=6&page=all

and

index.php?main_page=featured_products&disp_order=1&page=all

but both display the following error message

1065 Query was empty
in:
[]

Any ideas how to fix this?

Has anyone else had the same problems?

I sorted it!!

If you find the code that was added from "sugarhill" post

 if ((!$this->page_all) && ($this->number_of_pages > 1)) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters . $this->page_name . '=' . 'all', $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_ALL_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_ALL_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;';
      elseif ($this->page_all) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters, $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';

and replace it with

if ((!$this->page_all) && ($this->number_of_pages > 1) && ($_GET['main_page'] != 'products_all') && ($_GET['main_page'] != 'featured_products') && ($_GET['main_page'] != 'specials') && ($_GET['main_page'] != 'products_new')) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters . $this->page_name . '=' . 'all', $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_ALL_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_ALL_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;';
      elseif ($this->page_all) $display_links_string .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters, $request_type) . '" title=" ' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_TITLE . ' ">' . SHOW_PAGEVIEW_BUTTON . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';

This will stop the SHOW ALL button displaying on the following pages

• products_all
• featured_products
• specials
• products_new

Im absolutely dead tired and smashed! Ive been up all nite trying to figure out how to combine Ajeh's solution from page 1&2 of this thread

(all the other solutions on this thread are WAY too buggy trust me)

with Yellow1912 thread

(http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...single+display)

about how to make your whole zen cart use 1 uniform way to display products which frankly is columnar to most of us. (who uses never ending lists of products cmon Zen Gods get with the 21st century! this should be out the box...)

His solution basically (theres nothing basic about it to a programming dummy like me) "copies" the product listing template files into the new, featured, all, special etc etc template files so that once you got your product listing file configured into columnar display with this module

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=77

All the other product pages would follow suit and the formatting would be uniform.

PROBLEM IS that EVERYTHING else would also be the same!! So in this case how do you suppose I would switch off the "view all button"? I want it in my product listings but not in New or ALL products etc listings.

For starters who wants a "view all" on their ALL PRODUCTS page, I mean if you got thousands+ items thats just insane...

Anyway the View All button would display correctly on all pages inc NEW etc but when I click it it would throw me to the homepage.. This is because Ajeh's code is specifically for the product listing page and calls up the category path 'cPath=' which doesnt exist for the other product listings hence it would never work anyway so I had to remove it from those listings.

Cut a long story short to EXCLUDE the "view all" button/link but leave all the other good things on the page like LIMELITES "dropdown page sorter" and the ability to choose how many products to display on the fly (that part still isnt working for me...)

Seems simple huh... took me forever...

Look I'm so sorry about the crappy English and the unprofessional presentation but I really hope the point is clear and that someone else might also benefit from this without having a sleepless night.

Im off to bed or PHP hospital or whatever.

Hi, Sorry but i am sort of noob! can't follow what was done, if it is not difficult for you, can you please describe steps 1.2.3... what must i do first and what files to edit in order to implement this idea. Like a final topic which will make everything clear about.
Thank you very much in advance.

Is there a way to make the default show all with the choice of picking show 10 per page?

I think it's a bad idea to do it this way. But my client insists. I think it's going to be bad for loading time. But there isn't much more I can say against it. Her mind is set.

I tried changing in split_page_results.php
if ($debug) {
echo 'original_query=' . $query . '<br /><br />';
}
if (isset($_GET[$page_holder])) {
$page = $_GET[$page_holder];
} elseif (isset($_POST[$page_holder])) {
$page = $_POST[$page_holder];
} else {
$page = '';
}

to
if ($debug) {
echo 'original_query=' . $query . '<br /><br />';
}
if (isset($_GET[$page_holder])) {
$page = $_GET[$page_holder];
} elseif (isset($_POST[$page_holder])) {
$page = $_POST[$page_holder];
} else {
$page = 'all';
}


but then the show 10 link no longer works.
