Product listing in product info

[buzzy]

Hello!

I've started to build up a store for my customer. I've spent a couple of days with zen cart now, and it reaaly seems to be a piece of art.
But now I'm stucked with a little problem. My customer wants that the store replaces the actual site, so I got some work to do with templates to get it look same... .

Main site has product listing that looks like this ( pics at the bottom of the page ) http://www.classicottoman.fi/nojatuolit/ . I made a similar workversion with zen cart: http://www.classicottoman.fi/kauppa/...=index&cPath=1

Now I would like to include that listing at the bottom of each product info page. Is this possible and how? I'm sure it's really simple, but my head is not working right now

Hi Buzzy,

One quick solution although I don't know if this would be the best for you is to setup product cross-sells. Just search for X-sell or Cross sell and you'll find more information. I don't know if this is included in the base package or not. I've set this up on my site www.jonahcoyote.com. All you do is select a product and then select which other products you want to display on that products page. This could become tedious for you though so I don't know if it's the perfect solution. Thats all I can think of for now.

Cheers,
Jonah

Thanks, I'll give it a try. For now this seems to be the best way to do it.

ok, xsell is almost what I need... I just need to have more products to view on product info page.

If anyone have any ideas they are welcome. Here are the new links to my project (I moved the site)

http://www.kalustamohelsinki.fi/kaup...=index&cPath=1
is the list of products I want to include here ->http://www.kalustamohelsinki.fi/kaup...&products_id=1

The main site is already running here: http://www.kalustamohelsinki.fi

When the shop is ready it's supposed to look exact same as the main site now and replace it.

Try contacting the original contributor of xsell to find out how you can increase the number of xsells per row. Or try figuring it out on your own. That's my suggestion.

I would like to display my products similiar to the following example:

http://www.prana.com/storefront/prodlist.aspx?style=14

There must be a way in Zen-Cart to display products like this.

thanks in advance for your support

Yeps, go to the Downloads section and look for the columnar/grid display.

Ok, I spent a couple of hours with ZC files and admin section & figured how to do this.

First, from admin-> configuration -> maximum values -> Display Cross-Sell Products to have more cross sell items per page.

Then I modified the includes/modules/MYTEMPLATE/xsell_products.php

if ($num_products_xsell < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_XSELL_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_XSELL_PRODUCTS==0) {
$col_width = floor(100/$num_products_xsell);
} else {
$col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_XSELL_PRODUCTS);

to

if ($num_products_xsell < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_XSELL_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_XSELL_PRODUCTS==0) {
$col_width = floor(35/$num_products_xsell);
} else {
$col_width = floor(35/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_XSELL_PRODUCTS);

and I got what I wanted. 12 cross-sell products fitted on a single row...

Thanks for your answers this far. I believe I'll be here asking more soon as I continue modifying site.

Like Kim said, go get the column display mod. You can see my implementation of it at http://www.wildchildclothes.com

It's a little different than the implementation at prana, they use a table layout and the column mod uses divs, but you can make it work.

Remember, anything is possible with ZenCart!

Thank you for your reply, the implementation looks great, where is the column mod located ??

thank you for your assistance
