Okay for some reason the edit button keeps disappearing so I cant edit hence all the posts in a row... not sure if thats intentional on osc forums or not.
Anyway, Ive done more looking into this and have noticed that my store is using product_listing_col.php
So I copied all the information from product_listing.php to that file saved it and uploaded it and I then see the continue button and the check boxes... while I want the colum type setup on my store i did that as a test... And here is the error that it produces..
1054 - Unknown column 'po.products_options_name' in 'field list'
select distinct po.products_options_id, po.products_options_name as options, '0' as static from products p join products_description pd using (products_id) left join products_attributes pa using (products_id) left join products_options po on pa.options_id = po.products_options_id and pd.language_id = po.language_id left join products_options_values pov on pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id and pd.language_id = pov.language_id where p.products_id in (31,26) and pd.language_id = '1' order by p.products_id, po.products_options_name asc
[TEP STOP]
So if anyone can get me instructions in how to incorporate this into the original product_listing_col.php as well as a possible fix for this error in the compare.php that would be helpful and get my issues all resolved with this contrib.
