Radically Different Product Listing Pages???

[Qwackmaster]

I've been tinkering with some modifications to the default OSC layout. Of primary importance right now I would like to take the product listing page from this:

 

 

to this:

 

So my questions are these...

 

(1) Which file(s) do I need to edit to make this happen? ...I'm not sure which .php file controls the layout of this page.

(2) How to insert the banner graphic at the top?

(3) How to include the thumbnails (and make them clickable to the individual product page)?

(4) How to include the "More Info" and "In Cart" buttons?

(5) Are there any contributions that yield a similar result?

 

I think this functionality could benefit the OSC community. Anyone try anything like it?

 

Thanks a MILLION!

It would be easier to just write a new /includes/modules/product_listing.php file if this is how you want all your listings to appear.

 

The current one is designed for all kinds of fancy stuff for sorting and juggling around the field order.

 

You can take a part of this and a part of products_new.php and lay this out in the fashion you are showing.

 

It will take a bit of work at first, but it is not difficult to do.

 

You want to be careful not to lose the sort ability, or the multiple pages, etc.

 

Greasy kids stuff, eh? :shock:

Thanks Linda! At least that points me in the right direction as to which files are involved. :D

 

Has anyone done this? Anyone willing to share their modified /includes/modules/product_listing.php page so that I can look and learn? Would help this newbie a lot! :D
