Column Layout Grid for Product Listing doesn't work with Firefox?

Hi, I installed the Column Layout Grid for Product Listing, and it seems to be working fine with IE but with Firefox, the columns doesn't display correctly.

Sometimes the columns aren't evenly spaced, sometimes, one column is over top another column, but when the refresh the same page, it becomes fine..

how can I fix this?

you can take a look at my site for example: http://www.glamourie.com

I could also appreciate hearing a solution to this problem. i didn't realize this until it was pointed out to me by a visitor. The problem varies, misaligning the product info in different way. Sometimes shifted to the left, sometimes right. Sometimes listings are next to each other, sometimes overlapping. I have disabled this until it is fixed. But, looking at the above site, I did notice on these pages, clicking the "reload" button will bring the page up fine. Any help on this problem?

Hi,
this is a problem with IE. lemme explain.

the width of the box is the width of the content plus any border or padding. Thus, a 100px box with 0 padding and 0 border would render the same in IE as in Mozilla. However, if 5px padding is added, the Mozilla box (including content and padding) would be 110px wide, while the IE box would still be 100px. If a 10px border is also added, the Mozilla box (including content, padding and border) would be 130px wide, while the IE box would still be 100px. Finally, if you added 10px margin on all sides, the Mozilla box would be 150px while the IE box would then grow to 120px (100px for the content, padding, and border, and 20 for the margins on left and right).

Check your css and make necessary changes to the width, padding, margin n border of the sideboxes & content.

Hope this helps.

Well, I'm not seeing any problem with sideboxes or anything. It is actually a matter with using the column layout grid offered in the downloads. Also, it is not a matter of them running over each other. There was a width value of 32.5% with the 3 column, but it is narrower in firefox as opposed to IE. And the listings get squished and stacked and just way out of place. I would think it is a matter of where or how it is determining the width. But I'm new at all of this, so.... Well, I'm lost

I am also having this problem and have just posted on it.

** My Post**

I could have sworn that a couple of months ago when I first tried this that FireFox didn't have any problems with this. Could it be that the last FireFox update has broken this ?

And note in my post that this problem is not consistant..
In that reloading the page a few time gets it to display correctly.

If it was a width problem one would expect the page to display broken in the same way each time. But it doesn't. And one would expect that if it was a width problem that no matter how many times you refresh it wouldn't display properly.

This is happening in FireFox 2 and FireFox 3.....

Having just looked at your site it would appear that there is something wrong with your Column Layout Grid for Product Listing mod installation. It is not producing the HTML it is supposed to. Check for a file called tpl_columnar_display.php in your templates/common override directory. It looks like you have a non-standard or old version that is not compatible with the mod.

On closer inspection it looks as if it is trying to use the tabular (row) listing with a columns layout. Check that the you have the correct tpl_modules_product_listing.php file in your templates override directory.

You've haven't installed the mod correctly which is why you are getting the problem. It looks like your template override folder is called Nomo Template so where the instructions say YOURTEMPLATE replace it with Nomo Template e.g.
includes/templates/Nomo Template/ and so on.

Hi there
My problem is similar, but should be a really quick fix. I have my logo centered and it works fine in IE but in firefox it re-aligns to the left. My header was created to display this logo in the center so in firefox it looks a bit stupid on the left. My site is http://www.darbleyfish.com any help is much appreciated ASAP

Your problem isn't anything to do with the column layout grid mod, it is being caused by a stray comma in your style sheet. At about line 108 of your stylesheet you have..

#logo,
{
text-align: center;
}
```You need to remove the comma after the #logo and then everything should be fine.

Thanks a bunch, (:censored: comma) :D should have spotted that myself. Sorry about the post in the wrong place but couldn't find anything else on the forum for firefox.

Image is centered now in firefox, but not quite as good as in IE, it's slightly out of place to the white space i left in my header image but not too worried about that yet, something i'll worry about when Firefox takes the lead in the Browser wars

Cheers mate :clap:

I am sorry Cristian but I have includes/templates/Nomo Template/

"so what i have is this

I did what you suggested

I didn´t have a folder for my template in

includes/modules/yYOUR TEMPLATE/ so i crated one and I re-installed product_listing.php on it before it was in includes/modules

so now I have includes/modules/nomo template/

I re installed

includes/templates/nomo template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php

still not working

what do you think?

I have checked many times, I have read the instructions hundred of times and re checked everything , I have turned of my template and turned on the default template and still have the problem, so is not the custom template

I hope you get enlighted and discover what is the problem

paha:

I re installed

includes/templates/nomo template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php

still not working

what do you think?
For some reason Zen Cart is using the original tpl_modules_product_listing.php instead of the one that comes with the mod. Check that the template override directory that you have created is called Nomo template with a capital N as directories are case sensitive. Then check that the file has been uploaded correctly and it is the definitely the one that came with the mod.

Christian.

well what you just said gave me a clue

I when to /www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/

and erased tpl_modules_product_listing.php that was there to see if the program was using that one instead of the one in /www/includes/templates/Nomo template/Templates/

when i did this and went to the product page in

http://nomo.cl/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_6&sort=20a&page=3

the products din´t show at all

so I put the tpl_modules_product_listing.php from the grid module in /www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php

and the products now show the way it supposed to be

so tpl_modules_product_listing.php from the grid module shoud´t go in /www/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/Templates/

:shocking::blink::wacko: :bigups:

well that was hell thank you , thank you, thank you, you gave me the key to think about this
:clap: see it for yourself
what do you think?

It is strange do, isn´t it?

I am having a big problem with google indexing my page it dosen´t show up at all, and I whent to a sitemap builder and it only see the index page an the favicon.ico maybe this is related in some way,

please at look http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=600039#post600039 thank you

It is not a good idea to overwrite files in the template_default directory. Your changes will be lost if you do an upgrade and you lose the ability to switch to a default template for testing.

Yes it should. Where YOUR_TEMPLATE should be replaced by the name of your template override directory. If that is not working for you then you have made a mistake in doing it. Possibly using 'nomo template' instead of 'Nomo template'.
