Does 1.5.7 have Column Product Display Options?

[brian70809]

I've been using 1.5.6c and was looking to move to 1.5.7b.. I have been using a ColumnGridLayout Addon for awhile. It's not too friendly after PHP 7.0..
His comments are that from 1.5.7 and on, it's an included feature.

Was it added? I don't see it, in the code I see some mentions to a Column function.

Thanks for the help, I'm really like the new updates!

There's a new config entry called PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW.

Admin > Configuration > Product Listing > Columns Per Row.

It's in the responsive_classic template files/overrides, not template_default.

There are a few components you will likely have to merge in to your template; for reference, here is the PR:

I see.. And now for a stupid question.. honest one though.
Why is it not incorporated into 1.5.7b or was that done after 1.5.7b?
I'm glad that it is being put in there and I will probably wait until next update to do this. The code looks simple enough. I was just experimenting doing an upgrade according to the guidelines and this was one of the things that went haywire.

Thanks for the response!

It *is* in 1.5.7b. You'd have to be more explicit about what you mean by "one of the things that went haywire" for me to help you troubleshoot. Perhaps you didn't merge the CSS updates from that PR?

Hmm.. not sure.. i did a fresh install of 1.5.7b.. using my database from 1.5.6 and it upgraded the database.. I did not have the option to do Columns until I did the SQL patch and the modifications to the files you presented.

Which work great!

Only problem I'm having now is the Filter Options.. when it's rows.. I get the option to sort by price, manufacturer, etc.. but in Column mode.. it's not there at all. I've been hacking away at the code.. I'll figure it out unless you point me to some quick obvious fix.

Thanks again for your help.

Just an observation: Given that you're asking how to enable column-mode, why are you trying to change filter display in row-mode? Only one mode is ever active.

Dr. Byte..

First, thanks for all you do.

I did do the modification that swguy pointed to on github, and it works great...
So i'm not using the exact wording.. there is a sorting filter.. I'm attaching pictures.. in Row mode.. works great.. in Column mode.. it's not there..

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes that's correct: in column/grid/card mode the sort links don't display, primarily because they are largely associated with the table-headings used in row-mode.

[brian70809]

Is there a quick cut and paste to make it work or it requires a lot more code modifcations to get in in column mode?

My customers do sort by these other methods when trying to find things. I have 18,000 items, so anything helps..

Thanks again for the reply.
