Some HELP with getting my products to display like the template I dowloaded!

I recently downloaded a template and I like how the products are displayed as showen in attachment 1. However I would like to have my products displayed in the same format but for each category.

https://www.zachvaughn.com click services, then click apple ipad. it currently displays them going from top to bottom but I want it to look like

osc.template-help.com/zencart_24782/

scroll down to the bottom. I like how its left to right how the products are displayed. any insight how i can do this? what to change in the admin menu.

You need to switch it to display in columns rather than rows, i would assume that the template would have included the relevant mod

as i don't know if the mod is included I can suggest this (a guess)

Admin --> Configuration --> Product Listing

If it is the mod I am thinking of there should be a line that says

Product Listing - Layout Style --ROWS

change this to columns

but as I say its a guess as i don't know that template, something like that should be in the readme for the template and if not contact the people who sold it and ask them

Re: Some HELP with getting my products to display like the template I dowloaded!

Drat, i just clicked

The page you linked to (the sample site)is showing "featured products" in a 3 column format, this is the default in zencart for featured products, your site will do the same for featured products (there is a setting for this).

What you are wanting to do is change the product listing

That particular template if you look at the sample page here

osc.template-help.com/zencart_24782/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

list the products top to bottom like your site is doing.

So you will need to do use a mod,

This is the one I have used

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=77

as always backup before using

Which for the site i was working on ended up looking like this

http://scrapbookoutletnz.co.nz/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1374_1834

You have a nice looking template, but where did you get it from? Maybe it has been modified by the maker where it does not work nicely with regular zen cart & mods?
