Trying to get this layout.

[tim_ver]

I want to get this layout on the website: http://shops.oscommerce.com/directory/goto,12883

 

Goto earrings and you see how the list drops down on the left column. I have this but also want the small pic view on the right in the body of the page: What type of Earrings are you shopping for?

 

Right now mine just has a banner bar and above it I have text that says the same sub categories as on the left column.

 

How to I fix this?

 

Thanks

Are you refering to the subcat pictures?

[tim_ver]

Yes all the small pics for different earrings. I have images for the sub cats but the do not show up like this.

[matrix2223]

If you have subcat images they should show up like that. You got a link

[tim_ver]

Nope it is on an internal test server now. I have it like this: Paintings/Action/Underwater

 

So how do I fix this issue? Where is this data at to go look at?

 

Thanks

[tim_ver]

I also noticed in Admin area when I click on a catolog item category or a sub category, I get this in the info box(this is a sub cat):

It does not so the image here either. Arghhhh.

 

Where is the file that controls this so I can check to see why it is not working.??

 

Thanks

[matrix2223]

is its a basic install or have you changed the product_listing.php file.

 

Did you delete all of the products and categories before you added a few products I have noticed on other installs that when I did that it screwed a lot of things up such as what you are having.

[tim_ver]

I have added some mods to it. Not sure but I do not think I have touched the product_listing.php file.

Never deleted all products.

 

 

I just looked and do not have a product_listing.php file. Where would this be at?

[matrix2223]

catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php

[tim_ver]

I found it. Do you know what line of the code I sould look for or at?

 

And what should be there?

 

Thanks

[matrix2223]

Honestly I dont remember, I dont use the stock product listing. Im sorry I cant help on that one.

[tim_ver]

What do you use? Do you have an example of what it looks like?

 

Thanks

[matrix2223]

my site is under my profile

[tim_ver]

Ok, I just looked at it. So what mod are you using for this display?

 

 

I uploaded a fresh file for mine and no change. :(

[matrix2223]

honestly I dont remember that one either lol must be cause im tired. do a search in the conrtib section for product listing. in the contrib description it says that its like the format of the specials module.

 

Sorry I couldnt have been more of a help,

Eric

[tim_ver]

ok. I looked at the product_listing.php. and do not see anything wrong or missing. Is this the only file the controls the display of the image tumb nails in admin and catalog?

 

Thanks

If you're talking about the category pictures that show on the center / upper half of the window, then those come from catalog/index.php ...but are you using a template? It could be quite different if that's the case.

[tim_ver]

Yes I am using a template. Also in admin area when you add a new sub category, then attach the image it shows it there the small pic. But for mine it just says the image name"test.jpg" and does not show it.

 

I want to know how to find this code and fix the issue.?

 

 

Would this be in categories.php in admin area?

 

 

Is there a better mod to use in it's place?

 

 

I just want to get this look working.

 

 

Thanks

[choosealogin]

It's hard to tell without seeing the code and/or knowing what kind of template it is. Unfortunately, the most common templates have very few similarities to the original osC code, structure-wise. The cateogory image code could even be in your header.php file...I'm not sure.

 

...yes, you might start looking in categories.php, if you're unable to change the test.jpg category image in admin...it sounds like something is hard-coded in there.

[tim_ver]

Ok so if it is Hard coded how do I find and fix it?

 

I did find code for it in header and removed it and it still shows up. Ideas where else to look?

 

 

Thanks
