Community Add-Ons

small bugfix in the readme-file "about_product_listing_tpl.html". If you want to add the short description the correct value is:
$product_contents['products_short_description']

Bugfixes added to includes/modules/product_listing_col.php (in some circumstances a duplication of items was observed, code for actual attribute pricing was not added to case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW_MULTIPLE')
Screenshot added.
An example of how to make a more sophisticated product listing using a table [similar to the way templates do that] was added. With an explanation how to make your own starting from the included example file called product_listing_tpl.php.

Bugfixes added to product_listing_col.php for "Continue shopping" button bug (http://svn.oscommerce.com/jira/browse/OSC-478)

Fixed a small bug in the class for an empty td.
Added support for Actual Attribute Price in Pull down option menu (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2487). Selectable in the admin.
Updated included files to RC2a.

Using the product listing with attributes sometimes gave rise to a mysterious bug: the dropdown menus with options would appear multiple times.
That problem is solved in the included product_listing_col.php.

Missed two queries in includes/modules/product_listing_col.php that had SPPC specific parts in it: and find_in_set('".$customer_group_id."', attributes_hide_from_groups) = 0

Changed includes/modules/product_listing_col.php (from djmonkey1's 2.2a version of June 19, 2006) for bug fixes and less queries for the attributes. Please note that the buy now buttons are in a separate table row (so they will align horizontally independent of the picture and text/price above it). This will be noticeable with a 1px horizontal line in the rows with the darker background color above the buttons!

This little addon will let you have different classes on left and right side (if you list two products a row)
This is usefull if you for example want a right corner on the right side and a left on the left side.

This is just an update and not the full package.

Please ignore my below file as it is incorrect. This is how I have changed my product listing_col.php file so that the first row in the listing gets given a style.

I've been using this contribution for a while and had noticed that the first row does not get a class given to it for the alternate row colours. This is how I've changed my product_listing_col.php file.

This is adilovetini's v2.2 packaged with separate instructions for new installations and upgrades to avoid confusion.

Thanks to Ati for these great new features and bug fixes.

This version add some small features:
- You can now set how many column to display in row from the admin instead hard coded in product_listing_col.php
- It will display the default product_listing.php if you set the number of column to 1
- add procentage width in td tag to make the column alignment display correctly

This is version 2.1 with bug fixes for problems found in version 2.0.

The support thread is found here:

In case you were wondering, this contribution takes into account product attributes.

This is version 2.0 of Product Listing in Columns.

It's designed to work on and was tested with a stock MS2 osCommerce site.

It's based on version 2.1 of Add Multiple Products to Cart, in Columns, for SPPC.

It is, for the most part, completely different from Product Listing in Columns though that contribution is an ancestor of this one.

This is a much more robust contribution than it's predecessors as it involves a minor change to the database, one new file, and changes to five other files.

It gives you three options, all with products displayed in columns, and all sortable in admin-

1. The original buy now button
2. The buy now button with a text box where the customer can enter a quantity
3. Text boxes for quantity and a single "add to cart" button at the bottom of the page

Annotation for Product Listing in Columns package v 1.3 on MS2 -
added 1 line to install.txt:

change in advanced_search_results.php line about 340 from FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING to FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING_COL.

Product Listing COlumn Format v1.0a This version you now have is compatible with MS1 and with SEF on. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH MS2.

You can see this at work at a live site

I just spotted and fixed a small error, sorry. This is designed to work with V2.2 MS2.

This package fixed a few minor issues and made sure that all product listing system parms were used.

This updates the install instructions / program for version 2.2

This module changes the format of product Listings. Instead of a single column list it allows you to have multiple columns.

Format is similar to the whats new module.

Feedback on extra features welcome.

Only downside is that due to changes in 2.2 you need a very recent snapshot for this to work.
