Column Divider Pro (CDP) Contrib - Official Thread

qhome:

Well the add to cart stuff is actually going to be part of another contrib to replace the old "Designer Monthly Boxes" contrib. I'm keeping the divider stuff separate from that functionality.

But at this point, it only does the "Buy Now" or "More Info". Are you saying you'd also like me to try adding the qty box too (for products that don't have attributes)?

Qhome, have you released an updated Designer Monthly Boxes publicly? Thanks!

BlessIsaacola:

Qhome, great work as usual. I am experiencing problem with this mod. This is the error message:
Warning: strpos(): Offset not contained in string in /includes/templates/custom/common/tpl_columnar_display.php on line 43

Line 43 is:

$startpos = strpos($r_params, "width:", 1);

> 
> Thanks!

where are you getting this warning?

I'm replacing DMB with a new contrib called "MonthlyBuyNow" (working name, might change)

I'm trying to make it allow:

• Buy Now/More Info
• Attributes
• positioning of image/text/buttons
  on the Monthly boxes (New for Feb, Featured for Feb, Specials for Feb)

And also get Attribs on the Product Listing pages (All Products, New Products, Special Products)

I'm leaving the divider line stuff to "Column Divider Pro" and keeping the functionality of the two separate, unlike what I did with the original two.

where are you getting this warning?

Things look fine on the catalog side. The error is generated on the server side in the log. I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8 and PHP 5.2.5 and yes I did use the product_listing.php for 1.3.8 :clap:

Thanks!

ahh ok thats what I thought. I will see how to make strpos not throw an error when that setting isn't there. Depending on which box is calling it, it may or may not supply that value. I just thought it would ignore it if it couldn't find it, like every other programming language, but I guess php wants to be special :P

Ok I think i fixed the problem. I was using an unneeded offset value. So I removed it. Give it a try and let me know if you are still seeing the error.

Also updated the stylesheet to remove some erroneous css entries.

Only Files that changed since v0.3:

• templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_columnar_display.php
• templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_dotline.css

You have that error because you used the zc 1.3.8 version of the product_listing file on a zc1.3.7 store. Read the readme carefully.

You can remove it by removing all the files that came in the zip.

I previously installed Column Grid Layout, and this morning I installed Column Divider Lite. For the most part it works great, and is what I was looking for. The only thing, is the text is wrapping. How do I get more text for the product title on one line. In fact, I would love the product listing to look exactly like it does in the Featured Products box.

Thanks for this great mod.

First, when you say "Column Divider Lite" I hope you mean "Column Divider Pro".

Second, the text wrapping is due to the Column Grid Layout contrib. If you look in the modules YOUR_TEMPLATE folder there are 2 product_listing overrides that are used when using Column Grid Layout. Use the one that matches your zc version to fix the wrapping.

No, I installed Column Divider Lite, based on a recommendation from another thread.

So, what does that eman, now?

I replaced the Lite files with Column Divider pro files. I still have the text wrapping. I am not sure what you mean by use the "one that matches your zc version". I do see two files in the Column Grid layout contrib. One ends in BAK. I loaded the other one. Should I have loaded the BAK?

No. I am referring to the Column Divider Pro contrib.

In the zip file, there are 2 files:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php_UseWithColumnGridLayout_zc137
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php_UseWithColumnGridLayout_zc138

If you are using the Column Grid Layout to show the product listing in Column instead of Row form, you need to override the Column Grid Layout version by either replacing the original or by using an override of your template folder by changing "YOUR_TEMPLATE" to the template you are using.

Use the version that matches the version of Zen-Cart you are using.

I should also point out that the first page shows 0.1 but on page 5 there is a version 0.4 that has the fixes you need.

I've also uploaded it to the Downloads area and will be uploading a redirect message to the old Column Divider Lite contrib.

That fixed it. Thanks! Have some donuts on me.

Now if only I could figure out how to get the product title font to match exactly like in the Featured Products box. I think I just need to unbold it. I already changed the font size.

Thanks again!

Ah much appreciated! ::runs to Dunkin Donuts::

Check the CSS of the Featured Products title and apply that same CSS to the product listing css.

qhome,

Thank you VERY MUCH for making these mods. I use the divider and tabbed pro mods, you made. You are god send!

Thanks again, and keep up the exciting work! :clap:

Glad you are enjoying them! :cheers:

I wanted to share something with you guys/girls.

Regarding the way firefox handles links...

...did it ever annoy you how firefox leaves dotted lines, which wraps around the linked tabs? There is a fix for this.

Here is a CSS example:

a:active
{
outline: none;
}
