Column Layout Grid v2.x Support

gjh42:

I still haven't gotten a definite answer: does the list/grid sorter work independently of the manufacturers filter now for you?

Got it working. Found this thread and did what he did. Sorter Help

Thanks for the replies!

So it sounds like the issue you were experiencing had nothing to do with Column Grid or the list/grid sorter, but some sort of default_filter mods?

I think you're right. The grid works. Still having a little problem with the sorter on the manufacturers page though. When on a manufacturer page any selection in the name/price sorter just takes you back to the home page. The other stuff works.

Hello Glenn! I love this module and have a question. I would like to move things around using the css in the list view, but it will also move things in the grid view. Is is possible to have a separate stylesheet for the list view only? I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction :-)

Thanks,

Anne

I don't really think there should be an issue. All final elements of the list view are inside .productListing-data <td> wrappers, while all elements in grid view are in .centerBoxContentsProducts <div> wrappers. Prepending those classes to selectors that need distinction should take care of the problem, affecting only list view or grid view elements respectively.

Ah yes! Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. I was trying to make this more complcated than it needed to be. Thank you also for contributing such a great and useful module to the community ;-)

From a thread discussing styling for the grid view "Sort by:" option:
http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?204876-Sort-drop-down-on-Column-Grid-View-Add-On

To put the mod links in a dropdown, add to your stylesheet:```
#gridSorter {position: relative; padding: 0.5em 0;}
#gridSorter ul {display: none;}
#gridSorter:hover ul {display: block; position: absolute; top: 1.2em; padding: 0.5em 2em; margin-left: 0; background: #ddeeff;}

Where can you find them? What is the template file name?

Output content is built both in /includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php and in /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php... but why do you think you need to access or alter those files? The class/id hooks are already there for you to style in your stylesheet. All you need to do is "view source" on the output page to see the exact structure.

I need to re-arrange the layout of price, add to cart and etc in the column_layout_grid_2_3_1 plugin.

I did view the source but I couldn't figure out where / what php file they are getting generated from?

Then you can change the display order of the elements in admin > Configuration > Product Listing, and alter the styling if necessary. If you want greater control over individual product elements, you can use Flexible Product Listing from Plugins (based on CLG 2.3.1).

Thanks.

Can the Flexible Product Listing plugin be added on top of column_layout_grid_2_3_1?

FPL is a modified and expanded version of CLG. All of its files would replace CLG files if you have them. If you have already installed CLG, you don't need to rerun the SQL for FPL.

Please forgive me for questioning this, but are you sure I don't have to run the sql?

Thank you Glen.

Not if you already installed CLG 2.3.1. The SQL for both is identical and does not need to be repeated.

Yes sir I have installed Column Layout Grid for Product Listing v2.3.1 (Add On Module for Zen Cart v1.5.x) and in working condition. Thank you again Glen.

It works great. My only problem is trying to:

make this

to look like this?

I have looked every where. Can't figure out how it's done.:frusty:

Part of that is admin settings - you can adjust or turn off the Save. 28% off line in admin. The layout may be able to be adjusted with CSS, but I would have to see the page live to advise further. Beyond that is no longer an issue for this mod, but a customization project.

I'm getting a strange issue where my GridSorter "Sort by:" shows "Manufacturer" twice!
example: http://store.mservicegroup.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_10
Anybody else have this issue or know how I can fix it without consequences?
TIA

What version of CLG do you have? This was a bug in some earlier versions which was fixed in v2.3.1.
