Column listing for products_new.php

[L!mit]

Hello,

 

I have tried countless times to make products_new.php list in columns instead of in rows. I have seen contributions for product listings in columns, but nothing for products_new.php .

 

Does anyone know a way to do this? I have spent countless hours trying to accomplish this, but have had no luck I am still new to php.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I'm searching now but can't find anything. I've already done my product_listing.php and now I want to copy it for the products_new.php page as well.

 

Any help would be grately appreciated!

Thanks for the reply but i've looked at this contrib and can't find the code I need to remove in order to make a double column listing... I can't install that contrib as I already have a heavily modified store.

 

The page I am trying to "mimic" is my version of product_listing.php which you can see here: http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/index.php?cPath=287&osCsid=bbc669c39c1e59515615f4ba6171eb10

 

For some reason that page and the other pages seem to be of a different design >.<

The products_new.php included in that contrib is modified to call the product_listing module, as u have already modified that module, simply use that products_new.php file

 

 

If you don't want to run the install to apply the dbase changes, simply modify the file, ie it has:

 

if (strstr(PRODUCT_THUMBNAIL_VIEW, 'thumbnails')) {

 

change to

if (1 == 1) {

 

All the included files were originally from the 2.2rc2a distrib, if you have made changes from the standard format, just apply same to the included files u use.

Hi Sam,

 

Thanks for the reply. I've got the page displaying the product_listing.php module now, but it's looping http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/products_new.php?osCsid=f25d8e198b92ec2dd8889296b391fca5 as you can see. I think it must be a "while" statement? But can't trace where in the products_new.php the problem would be?

The problem looks typical of failing to close tabe elements you have opened in the correct place, check your code & that u don't have any invalid nesting.

I'm pretty confident it isn't product_listing.php as it is working correctly elsewhere. I've not touched any tables in your products_new.php yet, however if I comment out these three lines in the same file, the page will load correctly (albeit with no products shown) but the borders & table layout do show correctly...?

 

Many thanks for your help on this.

 

Lines 56-58:

    while (list($key, $value) = each($define_list)) {
     if ($value > 0) $column_list[] = $key;
   }

All fixed, just posting this for the benefit of anyone searching in the future :).

 

The file just needed the following (around line 50) changing for the order of the new custom layout, and any extras added:

 

$define_list = array('PRODUCT_LIST_NAME' => PRODUCT_LIST_NAME,
             'PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE' => PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE,
	     'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE' => PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE,
	     'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE_B' => PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE_B,
                    'PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY' => PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY,
	     'PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL' => PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL,
                    'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW' => PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW);

Well done, I would just caution that just missing the columns u have added should not have caused your error, the column should just simply have not appeared, it implies your product_listing.php doesn't follow all the rules!!
