Problem with Column Layout Grid for Product Listing 1.3.0.2

[goodmorning]

DrByte, I tried to change the code you specified, but in my product_listing.php file, there is no such code! Should I add it in, or would that not work?

The code referenced is from the contribution, not from the original distribution Zen Cart file.

Got it, thank you! Your fix worked great. :)

I made the modification but am having trouble checking to see if it works...

I seem to be having yet another problem with ZenCart, and am not sure what is causing it. Anything related to ZenCart (index.php, the admin, etc. etc. etc.) loads EXTREMELY SLOWLY... actually, I went to the site just now to test if the mod worked, but now it just spends a minute or so trying to load, then quits and loads a blank page. I am having this problem on different computers and different internet connections (university connection, DSL, and cable)... but I'm not sure if it's a server problem, because any other part of my website un-related to ZenCart loads super-quickly.

My ZenCart shop is here: http://shop.mmm-fruit.com/index.php

I had the same problem and I fixed it. I can see from the html you posted that you are having the same problem as me becase your items are in a table. The table is created by the tpl_modules_products_listing that is part of the common templates. The tpl_modules_product_listing.php that comes with the mod must be in the directory ZEN_CART_HOME_DIR/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/, not in ZEN_CART_HOME_DIR/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/.
Unfortunately both are listed in the instructions. I am using the future_zen template for now and I had to make the directory templates under includes/templates/future_zen and move the tpl_modules_product_listing.php in there. The path to my file is ZEN_CART_HOME_DIR/includes/templates/future_zen/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php. Once I did, the items are put in <div> entries

I had a similar problem and discovered that I had inserted a padding 0.5em in my navColumnOne an navColumnTwo. I deleted these in my CSS and this fixed things for me. Good Luck!
