Having products laid out side by side.

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have been using Zencart a lot over the past month and have found pretty much everything I wanted by searching here. But I am having one particular problem which is causing me a lot of grief and hope you can help me.

I am on zencart version 1.3.9

and I want my product to be listed like they are on this site here:

http://www.asos.com/Women/Bags-Purses/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=8730

Products all side by side to each other with item description and price underneath the product and when you click on the product it takes you to the product page where you can add to cart.

My current product page listing looks like this:

The images, texts, descriptions etc is all in a table. :(

Can anyone help advise if I can make it look like the above link and where I can edit this?

I am not very technical so any help is much appreciated. :blush:

Thanks.

Re: Having products laid out side by side.

Thanks Stevesh for the quick response. I have installed and followed the instructions in that module you told me to download. I am not sure if I have done it right

For this section in the instructions:

I assume that your Zen Cart home directory - where the root of the Zen Cart files is, represented by symbol ZEN_CART_HOME_DIR

mine is represented by:

/
"My domain name"

I have been using custom templates so I hope I put it into the correct section.

but I now have the options in Admin>Configuration>Product Listing for the layout style = Columns and columns per row = 4

But nothing has changed on the product listing of my site.

Is there anything more I need to do or did I go wrong somewhere in the install?

Thanks.

Re: Having products laid out side by side.

Did you notice the module was written for 138 ...

Always load a module on a test site first... Saved a big headache ...
Did you use WinMerge to compare the files with your version of Zen Cart?
You just can't upload the file structure to your cart, if you upload on top of a core you have to use a program to compare the two and munge the coding.> https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=138I don't use this mod but if they have in their file structure your_template, you will have to place those file in your_custom name override file structure name and use WinMerge to compare the .php files to munge the two together..

Re: Having products laid out side by side.

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah I did notice it was not for the exact version but I backed up everything and gave it a try. It looks like it actually worked I think I moved the template file to the wrong section and now it looks like it is getting closer to what I am trying to achieve. I think once I play with it a little more I will eventually get there!

The above image is what it currently looks like now!
