Customizing Product Listing - Move "add to cart", Attributes, etc

Hello all, I've been working on my product listings (barely any there yet) - I've managed to move some items around on the product listing page - but have not managed to get it set up exactly as I'd like.

What I'd like to have is a page that looks as follows
(and if it gets all mucked up, I can do a mock up and paste an attachment later)

Product Name

Product Image General Pricing
| Attribute
| Add to cart box
End Product Image

<-----------Additional Images----------------->

Product Description

Am using Zen 1.3.0.1
Example listing here:
http://spritelygoods.com/zencart1301/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_8&products_id=8

Hiya, i noticed that your product description and title are left aligned. I have been trying to do this for my website to no avail. I amended the productlisting.php page so that i specified lc align=left for the relevant fields and this didnt work. Could you tell me how you did this?
Thanks very much!

What version cart are you using?
I believe Left aligned was the default setting...

You can mess with the product layouts more by going to:
Admin : Catalog : ProductTypes and then click the button that says "Edit Layout"

Did you ever figure this out???

This is exactly what I want to do... you can change what displays with Product Type Info Page Layout options but as far as I can tell not the order they display in?

What am I missing??

Kate:
Sadly I was not able to get it exactly as I would prefer, but through manipulating the Product Type Info Page Layut options, in addiiton to the product_listing.php file I have it closer to what I want (but not perfect)

:) why thank you! it's not quite ready to go live yet...but soon! (i hope!)

ok since you have been so nice I guess I can risk asking a stupid question...

I know to back up (learnt that the hard way) but what do you mean about

save to your override directory!

Sounds like something I should know before I play?

Kate

Re: Overrides

Kate: the override I'm referring to is for you to be sure to save into your own template directories.
In this case, it would be:
Includes/Modules/YOUR TEMPLATE

Rather than modifying the file in the Includes/Modules folder...

make sense?
:D

yep makes sense... thanks for that!

Had a go and I think I may have just got the hang of it! Still some things I need to play with but definitely on the right track so thanks a bunch!
