TJL Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Hi, Hopefully someone can help me. Currently my website is listing products vertically but I would like to have them listed horizontally to save users having to scroll to see all the products. My web developers say it would require a lot of reworking on the oscommerce program (something they can't do) but I'm guessing there must be an add-on for it or an easier way. Can anyone recommend one? I’ve searched but have come up with nothing. I want the product layout to look a bit like this: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/ipod_nano?mco=MTM3NTEyNzg. My site currently looks like this http://www.crystalspring.co.uk/totally_natural_deodorant.php?cPath=21. Any help would be much appreciated! Many thanks Tom
Guest Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Tom, You can use Products Listing in Columns to do this, however because you have a template site it will require some customization to get that contribution to function properly within the layout of the store. Chris
TJL Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Chris, Thats great! Thank you for your help. Tom
atlasoff Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Chris, Thats great! Thank you for your help. Tom Hi Tom, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share the customization changes you had to make to get the product listing contrib to work with your "templatized store." I'm having a rough time with it - no success... :( Julie
TJL Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Hi Julie, I would gladly, but unfortunatly I have not made any changes yet. My technical skills are not good enough to do it myself and I'm still waiting for a quote from my web developers. I think they can't do it themselves so are looking for some one else to do it. I am sorry I could not be of more help. Tom
RMD27 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 to bring it back from the dead Be careful with this one. If you have made changed to your configuration table, the "11", "12", "13", and "14" for sort_order will have to change depending on the last item with the configuration_group_id of "8" set_function is the last thing in my configuration table, number 11. I have to increase the ref in the sql instructions by 3? ie 8 becomes 11, 11 becomes 14 etc??? INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) VALUES ('Display Add Multiples column', 'PRODUCT_LIST_MULTIPLE', '0', 'Do you want to display the Multiple Quantity with Attributes column?', '8', '11', now()); INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) VALUES ('Display Add Multiples with Buy Now column', 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW_MULTIPLE', '0', 'Do you want to display the Multiple Quantity Buy Now with Attributes column?', '8', '12', now()); INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) VALUES ('Number of column per row', 'PRODUCT_LIST_NUMCOL', '3', 'How many columns per row to display?', '8', '13', now()); INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) VALUES ('Show actual price in the pull down menu for attributes', 'PRODUCT_LIST_ACTUAL_PRICE_IN_DROPDOWN', 'No', 'Do you want to show the actual price in the pull down menu for attributes or the (+ $10.00) ?', '8', '14', 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'Yes\', \'No\'), ', now()); Be careful with this one. If you have made changed to your configuration table, the "11", "12", "13", and "14" for sort_order will have to change depending on the last item with the configuration_group_id of "8" this is my config table # Column Type Collation Attributes Null Default Extra Action 1 configuration_id int(11) No None AUTO_INCREMENT Change Drop More 2 configuration_title varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci No Change Drop More 3 configuration_key varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci No Change Drop More 4 configuration_value text latin1_swedish_ci No None Change Drop More 5 configuration_description varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci No Change Drop More 6 configuration_group_id int(11) No 0 Change Drop More 7 sort_order int(5) Yes NULL Change Drop More 8 last_modified datetime Yes NULL Change Drop More 9 date_added datetime No 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Change Drop More 10 use_function varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL Change Drop More 11 set_function varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL Change Drop More expert advice welcome!!
