Extra Product Fields 1.0

[omulec]

Is there anyway to change the look of the filter on product listing page from this vertical to nice horizontal, where the description if above the drop down?

 

I have been looking into the code to think about it, but for me as a noob it's quite impossible. The code looks like it's general self repeating creation of drop down if they exist. This way I don't have any clue how I can position the drop downs...

 

If my feeling is right, the piece responsible for that is in product_listing.php:

           // begin extra product fields
           $extra = '';
           foreach ($epf as $e) {
             if ($e['listing']) {
               $mt = ($e['uses_list'] && !$e['multi_select'] ? ($listing[$e['field']] == 0) : !tep_not_null($listing[$e['field']]));
               if (!$mt) { // only list fields that aren't empty
                 $extra .= '<br><b>' . $e['label'] . ': </b>';
                 if ($e['uses_list']) {
                   if ($e['multi_select']) {
                     $epf_values = explode('|', trim($listing[$e['field']], '|'));
                     $epf_string = '';
                     foreach ($epf_values as $v) {
                       $epf_string .= tep_get_extra_field_list_value($v) . ', ';
                     }
                     $extra .= trim($epf_string, ', ');
                   } else {
                     $extra .= tep_get_extra_field_list_value($listing[$e['field']],$e['show_chain'] == 1);
                   }
                 } else {
                   $extra .= $listing[$e['field']];
                 }
               }
             }
           }
           // end extra product fields

 

Anyone did this?

Ok, as nobody helped, I managed to spend an evening to learn more about PHP and I've found a solution by myself.

 

The idea was to have the filter drop-downs not as a vertical list with the name of each drop down above it, but to compose it in a nice horizontal line side by side with the name of the drop down filter inside it as a default not filtered. To make it you need to:

 

1) Open index.php and to change line:

echo sprintf(TEXT_RESTRICT_TO, $e['label'], tep_draw_pull_down_menu($e['field'], tep_build_epf_pulldown($e['id'], $languages_id, array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ANY_VALUE))),'', 'onchange="this.form.submit()"')) . '<br />';

with

echo sprintf(TEXT_RESTRICT_TO, '', tep_draw_pull_down_menu($e['field'], tep_build_epf_pulldown($e['id'], $languages_id, array(array('id' => '', 'text' => $e['label']))),'', 'onchange="this.form.submit()"')) . ' ';

 

2) Open all your main language files (here example of default english) /includes/languages/english.php and change the line:

define('TEXT_RESTRICT_TO', 'Select <b>%s</b> : %s');

with

define('TEXT_RESTRICT_TO', '<b>%s</b>%s');

 

Those mdoification change only the code added with EPF.
