gjh42:
One thing that has occurred to me is that it should be possible to get a two-column layout from the stock file just by using CSS.```
/eliminate hard break between attributes/
.wrapperAttribsOptions+br.clearBoth {display: none;}/allow floated attributes to sit side by side if desired/
.wrapperAttribsOptions {float: left; width: 48%;}/float attributes and make them half the available width/
> This basic code should make the attributes sit two to a row. Some supplemental rules may well be needed to make the attribute group play well with its surroundings.
>
> The attributes will all need to be set to the same height so there is no snagging in the float.
I've used the same method that gjh42 suggested and thought I'd share my code. The only problem with gjh42 code is that it doesn't display the .clearBoth meaning the floats aren't cleared.
CSS:
.wrapperAttribsOptions h4 { width: 75px;}
.wrapperAttribsOptions {float:left;width:48%;height:115px;margin:0.3em 0;}/115px for 5 product attributes/
Create tpl_modules_attributes.php in TEMPLATES/YOURTEMPLATE/TEMPLATES with the following code
<div id="productAttributes">
<?php if ($zv_display_select_option > 0) { ?>
<h3 id="attribsOptionsText"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_OPTIONS; ?></h3>
<?php } // show please select unless all are readonly ?>
<?php
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($options_name);$i++) {
?>
<?php
if ($options_comment[$i] != '' and $options_comment_position[$i] == '0') {
?>
<h3 class="attributesComments"><?php echo $options_comment[$i]; ?></h3>
<?php
}
?>
<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<h4 class="optionName back"><?php echo $options_name[$i]; ?></h4>
<div class="back"><?php echo "\n" . $options_menu[$i]; ?></div>
</div>
<?php if ($options_comment[$i] != '' and $options_comment_position[$i] == '1') { ?>
<div class="ProductInfoComments"><?php echo $options_comment[$i]; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<?php
if ($options_attributes_image[$i] != '') {
?>
<?php echo $options_attributes_image[$i]; ?>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
if ($show_onetime_charges_description == 'true') {
?>
<div class="wrapperAttribsOneTime"><?php echo TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGE_SYMBOL . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGE_DESCRIPTION; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<?php
if ($show_attributes_qty_prices_description == 'true') {
?>
<div class="wrapperAttribsQtyPrices"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_ICONS . 'icon_status_green.gif', TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_QTY_PRICE_HELP_LINK, 10, 10) . ' ' . '<a href="javascript:popupWindowPrice(\'' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_ATTRIBUTES_QTY_PRICES, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id'] . '&products_tax_class_id=' . $products_tax_class_id) . '\')">' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_QTY_PRICE_HELP_LINK . '</a>'; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
```
This will split the attribute groups into two columns.
