Column Layout Grid for Product Listing

[MikeyG]

Let's see your site to determine the best way of getting your desired alignments. You may need to use the Flexible Product Listing version of Column Grid (attached to post 50 in this thread) to get the fine-tuning.

url is www.funkymoose.co.uk have at the moment hard coded the width in the product listing page but I think it needs to be done for the specials and the upsell cross sell etc.

I think I have read about a way of getting this one template to work for all listings (new, all, specials, upsell, cross sell, customers also purchased, etc.)

Look forward to some advice. Thank you.

Single Listing Template in Free Addons handles using one template for many kinds of listings. Niccol's SNAF is an adaptation of that which might work even better.

If you are talking about the center box listings that appear on the same page as the main listing then SLT that Glenn mentionned is your best bet. I don't think it will cover the cross sell center box but all the main Zen ones it does.
As Glenn mentions I wrote an adaptation of SLT for version 1.5 but it only handles the main pages rather than the center-boxes - Just because I never use the center boxes as they are anyway so didn't need it to.

Hi,

I just installed this module, its working perfect for my categories but as soon as i want to display anything such as new or featured products on my main page they appear as just one each row even tough in the index listing i have ''new products columns per row'' selected as 3 it is still shown as:

product

product

product.

When i open my category it is like

product product product.

I want my new/featured products and all shown as my usual category.

Do i have some kind of setting wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Rovi.

Which mod are you using? The basic Column Layout Grid, or one of the modified versions? Column Grid only applies to the product listing, not new/all/etc. The settings for ''new products columns per row'' refer to the centerboxes which appear below the category or product listing.

If you are talking about the centerboxes, you might have altered some stylesheet rule that applies to the centerboxes. Eliminating a "float: left;" from a group rule often has that kind of unintended effect.

hello guys.
not found answer on my question:
1.3.9h
installed Column Layout / Grid Layout for Products Listing (Add On Module for Zen Cart v1.3.8)
but also installed Ashley Pink template- almost at same time.
then I trying to follow instruction:
admin- tools-install SQL patches
i have an errors:
Failed: 2
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Warning Note: 2 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.


what should I do???
please help....

Anyone find a solution this?

All these errors are saying is that the admin switches are already installed and cannot be installed again. Do the switches exist and work in your Configuration > Product Listing menu?

Hi,

Im wondering where I could change the default sort order to columnlayout istead of rows?
I've installed the mod and it works great, but the default order is row...?

See: http://demo.utkast.org/index.php?mai...dex&cPath=1_31

To see the column layout you need to choose "Grid" in the dropdownlist.

Where could I change so that column-layout is default?

Best regards.

Hey JDahlbom,
I just installed this plugin for my ZC1.5, and was looking for solution exactly as your post.
So with no one replied to you, I tried out this this way. The outcome looks good, pls see mysite at gobiztunnel.com
for your reference.


product_listing.php
Change: if (!defined('PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE')) define('PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE',(isset($_GET['view']) ? $_GET['view'] : 'rows'));

To: if (!defined('PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE')) define('PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE',(isset($_GET['view']) ? $_GET['view'] : 'columns'));



tpl_index_product_list.php
Change: echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('view', array(array('id'=>'rows','text'=>'List'),array('id'=>'columns','text'=>'Grid')), (isset($_GET['view']) ? $_GET['view'] : 'rows'), 'onchange="this.form.submit()"');

To: echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('view', array(array('id'=>'columns','text'=>'Grid'),array('id'=>'rows','text'=>'List')), (isset($_GET['view']) ? $_GET['view'] : 'columns'), 'onchange="this.form.submit()"');
