Re: Changing the layout of product listing

Jhancy:

Hi
I have downloaded Column Layout Grid for Product Listing using the following link:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=77

Still I'm not getting the layout style option in the product listing. I have installed zen-cart 1.3.8
Please help me solving this issue

Sounds to me like you haven't followed the last step

STEP 3. Configuration

Open up the admin section of your running cart in your browser
Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Product Listing.

Set the following settings:

A. Product Listing - Layout Style
Set the type of layout you want to use. By default, the current Zen Cart layout will be used.
It is called "rows". If you want to use the column and row layout, choose "columns".

B. Product Listing - Columns Per Row
If you choose to use the column layout, type in the number of columns you want to show on each row.
The default is 3 columns.

Re: Changing the layout of product listing

Did you rename the template folders before you uploaded to the one you are using?

includes > modules > MY TEMPLATE

and

includes > templates > MY TEMPLATE

Re: Changing the layout of product listing

If you compare the files on your local machine to the files on your server, you'll see that the folders I mentioned need renamimg to match the template you are using, in this case you're using the classic template

So, you need to rename them to...

includes > modules > classic

and

includes > templates > classic
