    If so, How?

    If not, is there a better alternative?

    The col-grid mod won't re-style your layout like in your example. What you are showing is some CSS and PHP mods to the product display files.

    So you are saying that this is feasible by just changing the css and product_display file?.... where is the product_display file?

    For starters, rearrange the elements in admin > Configuration > Product Listing. I don't know if the Column Grid admin display is different from standard.

    Your Template Monster template is currently controlling the product listing display in its own way, not using the standard /includes/modules/product_listing.php. It should be using /includes/modules/886/product_listing.php, but you never know with TM. If it is, you will have to replace that with the Column Grid version and modify from there.

    It is not a simple change to get the price on the same line as the add button. This line

    $lc_text = implode('<br />', $product_contents);

    puts breaks between all the elements, and eliminating one break requires going through the elements one by one and adding or not adding the break each time. There are a number of ways it could be done, but maintaining the option to switch between regular and grid output makes it trickier.

    Okay I've done this so far:

    Rearranged the elements and positioned them correctly.

    Took out a couple of <br /> to move everything closer

    So now my grid looks like:

    Title
    Image
    Price
    More info

    It's starting to look really nice and organized now. Thanks so much.
