Just need a little help locating something

[delaen]

I want to change the way the products are displayed when you view a category. I was looking to change them to resemble the way products are displayed when you view new products. Where would I go about changing the layout of this? (I.E. On what page would I find the code to do so?)

 

For whatever reason, I can't seem to find this. I would greatly appreciate any help.

The category display is all done in default.php :)

The category display is all done in default.php :)

 

I guess that makes sense...with that being the URL and all :)

 

That narrows it down a little bit. Thanks a lot.

Wait, I guess I'm still lost anyway :P

 

So to change the layout in which the products are listed on the category page the only things I have to change are located in default.php?

 

You wouldn't be able to point me towards a point in the file where that comes would you? :D

hehehe...

 

This is a fun one to play with. Check out my Description in Product Listing Hack and see the areas I changed there. This should help you find the flow of info that's being passed around.

 

Hope this helps!

Yes, that did help me out a little bit, thank you :)

 

I managed to find the formatting part I was looking for in product_listing_col.php. And I have each individual product displaying the way I want. The only problem I still have left is finding where they are layed out in reference to each other.

 

I'm not sure exactly how to explain this, but right now it looks something like

 

product         product         product      

product         product         product

 

What I want is to find where I can change the table on the categories page to lay out like this

 

product



product



product

 

If that makes any sense :)

Eh, I'm a dope :P

 

After screwing with it for a good 10 hours, it finally dawned on me that I started using Ian's "loaded" version, and the product listing is different from normal.

 

I got it to kind of look the way I wanted, but there were some extra <td>'s and <tr>'s thrown in there that were screwing it up. I guess I'll just have to stick with what I have, because I'm clueless :)

 

Thanks for your help anyway guys.

By default oscommerce displays product listing in a single row format. However as you have my product listing in col's mod it don't :(

 

If you want to change back to the default method (one product per row)

then you need to edit application_top.php. and change

DEFINE('FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING', 'product_listing_col.php');

 

to

 

DEFINE('FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING', 'product_listing.php');

 

:thumbsup:

Well, that was pretty easy. You rock :)
