view all in category

Hi folks

quick question:

One of my clients wants to include a "view all" button near the page selection when there are more products than are normally displayed on one page.

I vaguely remember having seen that in Zen once, but it may just have been on the designer's mockup.

Is there an easy way to do this? I've done a fair bit of thread searching and haven't run into any solutions yet, or even any discussions.

Thanks

Somewhere I have posted the code to make a View All ... you may need to do some searching or perhaps someone recalls the thread ...

Good news is that it is under my name ... :smile:

Bad news is that I have just a few more threads posted than the average bear ... :cry:

Found it, thanks:

And btw, I'm very appreciative of your massive volume of useful posts.

Thanks for posting the link to the thread for the View All Products ... this is always of help to others ... :smile:

Glad you were able to wade through all of the posts and find it!

No problem. I figured it might increase the chances of someone else finding the answer.

BTW, I did it a little differently than you described. In order to insert the link on the page, I went to /includes/classes/split_page_results.php and just after lines 128-129 where it has:

// next button
if (($this->current_page_number < $this->number_of_pages) && ($this->number_of_pages != 1)) $display_links_string .= ' <a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters . 'page=' . ($this->current_page_number + 1), $request_type) . '" title=" ' . PREVNEXT_TITLE_NEXT_PAGE . ' ">' . PREVNEXT_BUTTON_NEXT . '</a> ';

I added:

//AD Mod - include a view all in category if more than one page
if ($this->number_of_pages != 1) $display_links_string .= ' <a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], $parameters . 'override=more' , $request_type) . '" title=" ' . PREVNEXT_TITLE_NEXT_PAGE . ' "><img src="images/btn_viewall.gif" alt="View All" height="19" width="61" border="0" valign="bottom" /></a> ';

I've still got to play with the layout a little as the image is riding a bit high, but functionally it's doing fine.
