product listing in a box?

[stevek1977]

how would i go about getting the product listing in a box? basically i want to have a box that only lists the products in the category i am in.

You could use <table> commands to create the box around the products listing. It wouldn't be that dificult to do.

 

Also, do you have your product listings in multiple columns, or the default, single column product listing? Either way, its definitely possible.

i spent some time hacking on the code last night and got it to work wit the help of the Simple Category/Product Tree contrib.

 

  function tep_show_subcategory($counter) {

   global $foo, $categories_string, $id;

$categories_string .= '<table class="infoBoxContents">';



$products_in_category_query = tep_products_in_category($counter);



while ($products_in_category = tep_db_fetch_array($products_in_category_query))

{

$product_id_h = 'products_id='.$products_in_category ['product_id'];

$product_name_h = $products_in_category ['product'];

     if ($product_name_h != "")

 {

 $categories_string .= '<tr><td class="boxText"><img src="/msite/images/arrow_sub.gif"></td><td class="boxText"><a href="'. tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, $product_id_h). '">' .$product_name_h . '</a></td></tr>';

 }

}

$categories_string .= '</table>';

}

?>
