Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturer Headings

[aliwin]

Have downloaded "Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturer Headings" and I'm very happy to have found it. Thanks a lot Spooks, your the star.

 

As always there's some questions and a wishes.

 

A. product_listing.php in "grid mode"

1. When clicking the "buy button" the form action is "add_product". I wish that the form action would be "buy_now" instead, so if there's attributes on the product one get linked to product_info.php instead of shopping_cart.php.

I have tried to change the code without success and would appreciate some help

 

B. products_new.php and new_products.php

1. I can't get them to show, on each product, "manufacturers name".

2. Regarding prices:I would like them to act like product_listing.php regarding "old_price" and "special_price", which means that if there's a special price it will also show up, otherwise leave it empty

3. Have discovered that if one has a "top category" containing several subcategories which also contains subcategories, no new products will show when clicking on the "top category". See example below

 

Example:

Top category 1:

+ TEAMSPORTS (66 is catnr in db)

subcat 1 in TopC 1:

+ Soccer (66_39 is catnr in db)

> Shoes (66_39_78 is catnr in db)

> Protectors (66_39_79 is catnr in db)

> Misc. (66_39_80 is catnr in db)

subcat 2 in TopC 1:

+ Icehockey (66_45 is catnr in db)

> Skates (66_45_76 is catnr in db)

> Protectors

> Gloves

> Misc.

Top category 2:

+ WINTERSPORTS

subcat 1 in TopC 2:

+ Downhill

> Skies

> Shoes

 

Maybe one has to change some code elsewhere to get it to work due to wishes?

 

The ultimate would be to present new products in a cluster for each subcategory.

In this case for Top category 1: cluster a= "New products - Soccer", cluster b = "New products - Icehockey", each containing a range of randomly selected new products. In each "cluster header" there would be a click option like "See all". When clicking on that option it could link to like, product_listing.php and show all new products within the choosed cluster.

In admin set the range of how many products to view

 

 

I hope to be helped and have a testshop, not ready to go live yet, but...
