Modify main page centerbox to "long" listing type

Can anyone help me figure out how to modify the main page's centerbox product listings to match the "long", or perhaps more accurately "wide" product listing style?

Check out the attachments to see what I want and what I currently have.

Thanks!!!
~ Paul

P.S. The left link is what shows on the homepage, and the right link is how I want the product listings to look.

Just want to bring this one back up -- I still would like to figure this out. If this has been poking around your brain for the last few weeks, perhaps you have something to add?

Thanks,
~ Paul

Re: Modify main page centerbox to "long" listing type

Main page items are normally what's new, Featured, Specials -

What you want is these to display like the normal "product listing" or perhaps slightly modified - or the sidebox "new products" listing or "featured" listing - these are different intentionally but I don;t recall the reason.

You need to select one of these displays and clone this code for the others.

Do this in overrides...

I would also like to do this - but can't work out which files to actually change.

I see the tpl_modules_products_featured_listing.php file has the layout I want, but I can't see which module I need to paste this into to have the desired effect.

You have determined which display and file for what you want - Which display do you want to alter?

Re: Modify main page centerbox to "long" listing type

What your examples show is the all listing as you desire, and specials & new listings stacked.

This is configurable in admin > Configuration > Featured Listing, New Listing, etc.

CHange the four-digit code for each element per the instructions, setting the last digit to 0 where you want the next element beside instead of below the current element.

To get the identical listing style as the product listing, you will need to do as Kobra is suggesting.
