I could really use some help!!

So it appears that I have multiple of a few of these pages I thought it over rode them but I have for instance three product listing pages would this possibly have anything to do with my problem and if so should I just delete the extras or do I need them for some reason I do not know!!

"three product listing pages"? Do you mean product_listing.php files? where exactly are these, and what are their full filenames?

I have just installed the latest version of the files on my test site, and all functions work as expected. Try this fileset, after deleting all old versions on your site. You shouldn't need to rerun the SQL.

Hello,

So It is fixed now and works great. For those who may have this same problem here is what I did to make it work. When you upload the new files for this mod it says that it will override the old files well for some reason it did so for the two tpl_ files but did not do so for the product_listing.php file it turned out that it made a second version of this file for some reason. How I fixed my problem in this thread was that I went in and deleted the old product_listing.php files and uploaded the new one put in the last post here by gjh42. Once I uploaded only the new product_listing.php file it worked like a charm.

I want to thank you gjh42 for the wonderful addition to this mod and for the personal help on my problem without you I never would have figured this out!!

For those of you who are interested in this mod it works great with his addition use it if you already have it without the additions upgrade it you will want to trust me!!

Thanks again gjh42!!

I have one final question is there a way to widen the drop down menu this mod presents on the page. The one that says grid or list can I widen this somehow and if so how please!!

Glad to hear it's working for you now! It sounds like your FTP or hosting somehow hiccupped on that file and made copies instead of overwriting it. That is generally an option when uploading, but one that you have to manually select each time. If that is what happened, the new copies would probably have something appended to their name, and thus would not be called. Only the old version would be used since it still had its correct name. That's my guess, anyway...
With your confirmation and my test, I am confident that it is ready to submit to Plugins.

I knew there was a reason I put an id on the wrapper for that dropdown:)
Add to your stylesheet

#viewControl select {width: 7em;}

Adjust to taste.

I sound like a total tool but where did you place this wrapper as Im not seeing it Im most likely just blind but yea!!

It's a <div> around the <select> which creates the dropdown. This is irrelevant for you; all you have to do is add that rule to your stylesheet.

Ahh lol its early here :) thats my excuse yea lol. I added it and it works great thanks.

Actually I just noticed a problem. It seems the top of my product listing pages is now missing. I had banners in the top section just above the list and price and name and such in the menu right above the list and all of that is gone!! Im not sure how this happened but it was working fine before. If you look at the site now on the product list pages you will see a big empty white space where all this used to be. mysterydrawer.com

when its in list mode the product list menu bar comes back however the white space above it does not. In grid mode both are gone!!

Ok it seems the top white section is now back. The menu bar right above the product list is still missing in grid mode but the rest is fixed.

The category description includes a couple of iframes. When I enable scripts for your site and the banner source, I see them fine. Otherwise, I see the white space.

Yes the banner stuff is back however I lost the product list bar that had name and price in it which allowed the customer to sort them by those features. It is there in list mode but not in grid mode. Is there a way to fix this!!

Okay, that bar:)
This is the way the grid layout works - it does not have headings for the product elements, as they make no sense in the grid layout, and thus the sort ability goes away too. It would be a nice enhancement to allow those terms somewhere above the grid for sorting. This would likely take a bunch of new coding, as tpl_columnar_display.php doesn't have anything that could output it as is.

ahh ok so with the grid layout it is what it is. But with list that option is available ok thank you!! Thats what I needed to know.

I have the sort selectors working in grid view on my local test site. Now to add admin control so the feature can be turned on or off...

Did you say the sorters are now working in grid mode?
