Product Listing Layout (how to make 3 columns?)

Hello,
I am still on 1.2.6.
I was able to make 3 columns for "New Products For January" listing:
http://idtagsonline.com/store/index.php?main_page=index
by going to Configuration/Maximum Values/New Products Module = 9
It made 3 rows x 3 columns.

I would like to make the same Layout for all my other listings like:
http://idtagsonline.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

http://idtagsonline.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_new

http://idtagsonline.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_all

Please suggest, where is this control?
I could not find any parameter for the number of columns.
Thanks.

Is this what you're after?
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=77

Thanks for reply,
So, to conclude from your suggestion, there is no admin option to do it.
Additional "Column Layout Grid for Product Listing" module has to be installed.

1. Is it available for 1.2.6 Version of Zen Cart?

2. Is it possible simply to Turn OFF large "New Products for January" box? (with 9 products)?

Thanks.

@idtags:

In case you didn't find out yet, this is how to get rid of the "new products for ..." box:
Admin->Configuration->Index Listing->Show new products on main page (first line), set value to 0

Thanks for your reply.
I never would look in Index Listing, just because Title does not sound as anything I would look for.

To add to the topic "Show New Products on Main Page" was 0 and it still did show "New Products Box"

However other parameter: "Show New Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories" being set to 0 was turning OFF this box.

Thanks again for your lead. :smile:

Is this available for version 1.2.6?
Where?

To my best understanding you have to dowload additional module from http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=77 and than follow instructions.

I did not do this myself, as I do not fill confident to deal with this.
So, I can not suggest any more on this topic.:lookaroun

This is a fabulous mod and I have been looking for it for ages! I'm so glad I searched the forums again... I must not have put in the right search words the last million time. :) THANKS!

I wish I would have found this earlier cause I've been killing myself trying to figure out how to do this. Excellant mod.

Very nice module. I found one small bug in it. When I implemented this module, the frame and background around my product images disappeared in both column and row layouts. I fixed this by adding '<div class=productImage-background>' at the beginning of lines 204 and 206 in the product_listing.php module as follows:

          $lc_text = '<div class=productImage-background><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'class="listingProductImage"') . '</a></div>';
          } else {
          $lc_text = '<div class=productImage-background><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? 'cPath=' . $_GET['cPath'] . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'class="listingProductImage"') . '</a></div>';

The spacing is wrong on the images, they are 'off-center', but this is fixed by adding "margin:auto;" to the .productImage-background class in the CSS style sheet. Works correctly in both column and row order.

This module works great for product listing within categories. Is there any way to get it to work for Product Listing - ALL?
