Product Listings in Multiple Columns?

[SHANX6336]

Hey everybody,

 

I checked through the contributions list and I found two contributions for making product listings in multiple columns, instead of the way it comes when you first install OsCommerce. Both gave me problems, and I am assuming because they weren't built for the most recent release of OsCommerce, osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2. Most them were made in 2003 so I doubt they would work.

 

Is there a contribution out there that will allow me to do this with the OsCommerce I have now (I just downloaded the most recent version from the OsCommerce site a week ago).

 

Thanks! Your help is greatly appreciated.

There are versions for MS2 (the most recent apart from CVS which you shouldn't be using) here: Product Listing in Columns

There are versions for MS2...

Hi! I decided to try this, and I end up with an interesting effect - the images of the products are not shown (instead, the ALT tag is shown). Selecting one of the image-less products renders an error:

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'select p.products_image, pd.products_name, p.products_id, p.ma

select count(select p.products_image, pd.products_name, p.products_id, p.manufacturers_id, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, NULL) as specials_new_products_price, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as final_price from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, products_to_categories p2c left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id where p.products_status = \'1\' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = \'1\' and p2c.categories_id = \'58\' order by pd.products_name) as total

Now, being a sysadmin and too lazy to go to the bottom of the SQL error, can someone slap me and tell me what I'm not looking at?

The ID of the product_listing_col.php is:

$Id: product_listing_col.php,v 1.00 2002/05/06 20:28:07 icw_ Exp $

I'm running osCommerce 2.2-MS2 with MySQL 4.0.18 and PHP4.3.4.

Thanks all :)
