Attribute layout horizontal

I'm stuck! Here's what I'm working on, www.visionsoncanvas.com/store. The attributes are all laying out vertically on the page. See Style/Size. The optimum situation would be to use the attribute grid, but because I have other attributes, the grid is non-functional. The best alternative is to lay out the attributes horizontally. I've tried everything posted in the forum and nothing works. I've even tried different combos - and nothing. The closest I came was setting the "Attribute Style for Radio Buttons/Checkbox" to different numbers for the Image Styles (1-5) and on a couple of them, the images for "additional services" doubled up in two columns like I wanted, but the images overlapped. I changed the Display Size and Maximum lenght to 200, but the images stayed overlapped. On the Style/Size attribute, I have little size images for the one style and 1x1 px squares for the rest. No matter what I do, they won't change - the attributes stay in a vertical format. Any other suggestions? I'm using version 1.3.7

Re: Attribute layout horizontal

Thanks haredo,

Attribute images per row is already set to 3 and the attributes are still lined up vertically. It didn't seem to have any effect at all.

Re: Attribute layout horizontal

I just tried something to see what would happen. I set the admin panel/ catalog/ option name manager/ size and style/Attribute Style for Radio Buttons/Checkbox: to 0 to see what would happen. My Attribute Images per Row is set to 3. I got three columns of images placed under a vertical row of radio buttons with text. So essentially, the images by themselves are making three columns like I want, but the actual radio buttons are staying in a single vertical column. Any suggestions?

Re: Attribute layout horizontal

Mu,
I notice you have a option Name called Canvas Edge

  1. check out the image per row for this in option name manager
  2. One you use one radio button and have it associated with other option names it remembers the first one

Re: Attribute layout horizontal

I changed the Canvas Edge option type to checkbox. I also had "Type of Photo" as a radio button as well. No change. I then went and changed the Size/Style to checkbox - no change. Everything is still in a single vertical column. I even changed to the Classic Template to see if maybe it was something in my template causing the issue. Still vertical.

Re: Attribute layout horizontal

I had found this thread, or one like it before, and I either removed or commented out all of the <br>'s, but I ended up with a jumbled mess. I might have been able to work around and do something with "attribute images per row" and "Attribute Style for Radio Buttons/checkbox" to get the look I want, but it was before I realized I was getting different looks by changing the image styles to different numbers. I actually found something in the attribute grid about an update that allows for attributes outside of the grid. Here's that thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85649&highlight=attribute+grid&page=11 I'm going to give it a try and see how that goes..... Thanks for all your help.

Re: Attribute layout horizontal

I have gotten my radio buttons to display Hoizontally but the text under them does not line up correctly. Any ideas?

Thanks
