Column layout grid for product listing - one column only

As I want to display my product listings in three columns I downloaded and installed the contribution: Column layout grid for product listing.

I have configured the layout style to columns in the Product Listing section of Admin but am only getting one central column as seen here:

Now I'm stumped - can anyone point me in the right direction for solving this please?

There's one more step to do.

You've done A. Now do B.

Set the following settings:

A. Product Listing - Layout Style
Set the type of layout you want to use. By default, the current Zen Cart layout will be used.
It is called "rows". If you want to use the column and row layout, choose "columns".

B. Product Listing - Columns Per Row
If you choose to use the column layout, type in the number of columns you want to show on each row.
The default is 3 columns.

Or did you do that already? It should have been set to 3 automatically.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I had already changed the Layout Style to columns and checked that the default number was 3. No idea what to try next .....?

Well I have similar effect.

I have 3 different languges set currently.
2 of the languges uses the module and one dont.
Seems as the one that is not using the module is also using totally separate template.

My isues I sopose is that I need to check where I can set correct template also for the third languge.

Well I have not yet had time to look solution to my problem as I had other stuff to do on zen cart. Just thought to speak my mind if that helps :) .

So are you sure you have right template name under modules directory.
Also check tpl_modules_product_listing.php is under the right template folder as well.

To solve my problem i removed assosiation of particular language to a specific template.

So do following.
Admin page

• Tools - Template selection

A. if you have separate languges defined on list there associate them to correct template.

Or

B. like I did I removed all languges from list so all languges are associated to the default template.

or

C. Maybe you just are using wrong template as default?

Thanks for all your help.

Problem now sorted, the product_listing.php file hadn't loaded via my ftp client to the correct directory - when I stepped away and then came back the next day it was obvious, but when you are scrambling around you can become almost blind to what you are doing!

Hello all,

I'm having the same 1 column issue.

I'm using a custom template and cannot locate the problem. One thing I notice is that tpl_modules_product_listing.php calls for several CSS tags that are not in my stylesheet.

I'm guessing this is the problem, but with the volume of css references, where to begin? Maybe someone has a basic stylesheet that I can go off of.

For reference here is the site I'm working on

http://www.bbopokertables.com/pokertables

Any ideas? I'm stuck and I have to make this template work.

Oh, I'm running 1.3.8a and yes I installed the most recent version of layout grid but it was for 1.3.8 (without the a). I see the settings in Admin section and I have the rows set to 3 per column.

Thanks

Update:

I also switched back to the classic template and got it to work correctly so I know it is my custom template but have no clue on where to begin.

Probably an obvious question, but did you change the names of the override folders in the mod to 'bbo' before you uploaded them?

Thanks for the response,

I changed the folder names to bbo before uploading. Is this what you mean?

The ones labels YOUR TEMPLATE NAME or what not?

Right. That's what I meant.

I guess you could try re-uploading the mod folders/files and overwriting the ones that are there, in case one or more files are corrupted.

Thanks again,

I have actually tried that.

I know it works because when I switch to the classic template, it will work correctly.

It's when I'm using my custom template that I get the single column of death.

PROBLEM SOLVED....Mine is anyways.

I just installed the Column Divider Pro Module and followed the directions for use with the Layout Grid Mod. It overwrites the product_listing.php file that layout grid installs. Still not sure why this was happening but I am super happy now.

Here's the link to the download:

Here's the support thread for this Mod:

I tried this solution, but still have the same problem. Product listing only shows 1 column. I'm also using a third-party template. Any suggestions..?

copy:
includes\templates\zcen\templates\tpl_modules_product_listing.php
includes\modules\zcen\product_listing.php

to your custom template corresponding folder.

I am having trouble with this one.

I have installed the mod and if I use the default 3 column set up, it works fine. When I set it to display by rows, it works as expected. What I want to do is display 2 columns - it wont do this but lists them in blocks in one vertical column. If I set it to 4 columns, it tries to do this but the 4th item spills over into the next row - probably because I have fixed width and there is not enough room for 4 columns (??).

Does this in Google and Firefox. Am using very slightly modified version of Classic template. Zencart 1.3.8a patched.
Mod should be installed correctly as it does work normally with the 3 columns.

Site not live.

Where should I look to fix this?
Thanks
