Adding a table to product listing

[DimeNote]

I'm just wondering if it is possible to add a table to the product listing page? What I want to do is add a table to where the products image would appear in the product listing and have that product image be set as the table background. Make any sense?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,

 

I delt with this only last week, search the posts.

 

Thanks for the reply. I have been searching, I'm just not finding the information I need. I also searched: +table +product with your name "spooks" in all posts from the last month and newer and I didn't really find a post that touched on what I'm trying to do.

 

Could you point me to where you are talking about? Is there a better way to search?

 

Thanks again.

Thanks! That's a much better way to search. I appreciate the tip. I did read that post but I don't believe that it's what I'm looking for. My question is in regards to the product listing page, not the product info page... and I'm not interested in installing the FCK editor at this time. I've been looking through the code from product_listing.php and I *think* this is where I need to play around a bit:

 

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, 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing['products_image'], $listing['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a> ';
           }
           break;

 

When I try to add any sort of table to this code or modify it it any way I get syntax errors. I'm completely new to php so I'm sure this is why. Is it even possible to add a table into this code? It's not that important really... just throwing some ideas around in my head. Any help or guidance is appreciated though. Spooks, thanks again for the searching tips.

 

Thanks.

 this line																																																  is tooooooooooooooo wide by far

 

Please dont have line wrap off, it makes your post v difficult to read, & stops replies. If you take a look at: Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturer Headings <A href="http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6051" target=_blank>http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6051</A> That gives a background, not on a per product bases, but shows you the way..

Sorry, I didn't mean to have it post so long. Spooks, I appreciate the guidance but after looking through the code from that contribution it seems that this far surpasses my skill level. I am just beginning to learn php and this looks foreign to me. That being said I think I'm just going to drop the table idea and move on. Maybe I'll reattempt when I have a better understanding of what is required.

 

Again, I really do appreciate your effort in helping me. Thanks.
