Custom Look to Product Listings

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can be of assistance.

I have my store all set up and ready to go. But the client wanted to add a short description to the product listing page.

So I used the Products_Short_Descriptions_V1 contribution and got it installed without a hitch.

Problem is, the product listing isn't too pretty.

I was hoping to make it look similar to the product listings on this page http://www.medicorp.net/products.asp?cat=10.

 

Is this possible and if so, what files do I need to start looking into for editing...I tried the product_listing.php as well as index.php, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

 

Here's a current view of what it looks like now.

 

 

Thanks for your help,

Yes possible. product_listing.php is the right file.

Yes possible. product_listing.php is the right file.

 

Thanks for your reply. Any hints as to what I need to edit?

We can't use standard way as it is column based.

The following just idea to try:

 

in product_listing.php, comment line 68, 69, 70 and 137, 138, 139

 

and add the following after line 139

 

$lc_text = 'Product Name<br>Products Description';

$list_box_contents[$cur_row] = array('params' => 'class="productListing-data"', 'text' => $lc_text);

The code below will replace your product_listing.php code and give you a box with the picture to the left, Description on right, with prices below.

Tables can be edited to look like you want and the code

	if ($col > 1) {

can be adjusted (change 1 to 2,3, 4, etc) to give boxes per row.

Here is the code:
