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...
