product_listing.php

[rosemary]

Does anyone know . . . silly way to start a question here . . .

 

 

Would someone please tell me what the following lines found in ..\includes\modules\product_listing.php file do in terms of laying out the product list (when you click on a particular category or sub-category)?

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$listing_split = new splitPageResults($listing_sql, MAX_DISPLAY_SEARCH_RESULTS, 'p.products_id');

 

 

$list_box_contents = array();

 

if ($listing_split->number_of_rows > 0) {

$rows = 0;

$listing_query = tep_db_query($listing_split->sql_query);

while ($listing = tep_db_fetch_array($listing_query)) {

$rows++;

 

if (($rows/2) == floor($rows/2)) {

$list_box_contents[] = array('params' => 'class="productListing-even"');

} else {

$list_box_contents[] = array('params' => 'class="productListing-odd"');

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Furthermore . . .

* Where is the class object "splitPageResults" constructed or defined?

* Why is there a need for the 2 style classes "productListing-even" and "productListing-odd"? The 2 in the stylesheet is identical :blink:

* What is this "floor($rows/2)" doing?

 

I basically do not understand the condition, or the logic of the condition, that is being tested here with the 2nd "if" statement.

 

 

Any enlightenment is appreciated!

 

And how about helping me be a better fisherman ;) . . . is there any documentation on the core code?

 

 

Thanks for any suggestions, comments, and advice.

Oh, BTW, I had looked through the downloaded documentation several times. This documentation is helpful for making minor cosmetic changes. But for people who want to really dig in deep to make major modifications, the info is kind of lacking.

 

Therefore any advice and directions, are appreciated.
