Product List Structure Modification

[sakitram]

In the product listing page, I added one more column to be shown. Now I see all the contents.

But I want to modify the structure of showing each product.

 

For example: current the product records showin page as

 

COLUMN 1 == COLUMN 2 == COLUMN 3

<prod img> = <prod name> = <prod desc>

<prod img> = <prod name> = <prod desc>

<prod img> = <prod name> = <prod desc>

<prod img> = <prod name> = <prod desc>

 

 

Now I want to alter the table structure to show as follows

COLUMN 1 == COLUMN 2

<prod img> = <prod name>

<prod desc> (column1 of each row should be spanning two rows)

 

 

If someone could tell me how to do this, it would be great help to me.

Thank you,

it would be easier to help if I had some code to check :)

you can alway use something like:

<td>pic</td><td>name</td><tr>

<td rowspan="2">desc</td>

Yes, sorry for making confusion and late reply.

 

<tr><td rowspan=2>pic</td><td>prod name</td></tr>

<tr><td>prod desc</td></tr>

But if you want the product description to be over the whole bottom part you got to use rowspan on the td for the product description.

Yes, of-course. Then I have to modify the tableBox class. And then all boxes in oscommerce page will also be affected regarding to this, as it is the base class. So I need guidance to get the result.

[Dennis_gull]

either you can add another table inside the table or you could close the table and make another one.

Hi!

you can modify this line in product_listing.php

 

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE':

$lc_align = 'center';

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {

$lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing['products_image'], $listing['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

} else {

$lc_text = ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing['products_image'], $listing['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a> ';

}

break;

 

and install contribs short description

 

And try to make the code like this but i´m not sure beacuse i have contribs for making the products in columns so my file is product_listing_col.php

 

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE':

$lc_align = 'center';

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {

$lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing['products_image'], $listing['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br> ' . $listing['short_desc'] . ' ';

} else {

$lc_text = ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing['products_image'], $listing['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br> ' . $listing['short_desc'] . ' ';

}

break;
