Only display thumbnails in category product listing

Can someone tell me how to make it so the category product listing only shows the thumnails and nothing else - no description, no buy button or anything but the thumnails - so you only see the buy now and details in the individual products pages?

I am confused ... you say no buy now and buy now in the same sentence ... you say no description and description in the same sentence ... :blink:

All settings for what show on the Product Listing is in the Configuration ... Product Listing ...

0 is OFF and any other value is the display order ...

Re: Only display thumbnails in category product listing

I think they want only the product image at the category level forcing the customer to go to the product listing to get more info and the buy now button. I'm not sure why they want to do that, but I think that's the idea.

Re: Only display thumbnails in category product listing

thanks for getting back to this post. to clearify what I'M looking for is a category page that just shows a photo of the product and the product name. here is a link to my current website that i'm trying to convert into a Zen Cart site.
I'm hoping to have a page that looks like this
http://www.kalistas.ca/shop/chocolate.html

thanks for all the help!

Re: Only display thumbnails in category product listing

Go to the Configuration ... Product Listing ... and turn OFF all fields except the Image and Product Name by setting everything to 0 except for those 2 fields ...

Then you will also probably want the Add on for the Column Grid rather than the default display ...

Re: Only display thumbnails in category product listing

That worked perfectly!...just a few small CSS changes and I have exactly what i'm looking for...
I think this layout works for products that are sold by the image and not so much by the description.
