Products.tpl - What is safe to get rid of?

I want to take my products.tpl file from THIS to something like THIS.

I need to know what I HAVE to keep in the template file to ensure the store stills runs properly. There seems to be a lot of stuff in the original .tpl file that may not be needed. I guess an explaination of what each piece of code does is what i'm after really.

This is my products.tpl file

Any help would be greatly appreciated before I start to rush in there like a bull in a china shop ;)

That is a lot to ask :) Why not just try commenting out one piece at a time until you get where you want to go? Make a backup first.

Haha, yeah sorry I know it is.

Ok so commenting out? I know i've seen this before but I can't remember what you have to do. Is it [**] or something before everyline you want to lose?

Ok 1 question then 8)

What part of that code is pulling the 'short description' from the product info?

Is it ;

{$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true}

?

And if so - is it possible to add html (ie a clickable image) in the short description field or is it text only?

Yes, that is it. To comment it out, you would do this:

{* {$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true} *}

And yes, the description fields accept html

Big up B :)

This is gonna be easier than I thought.
When I've done it i'll up the code in case anybody else is ever looking for the same thing :)

Grant, do you feel lucky today? :D

Replace products.tpl code with this:

Code:

{* $Id: products.tpl,v 1.45.2.17 2006/04/21 08:53:50 svowl Exp $ *}

{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row ne "" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row gt 0 and $config.Appearance.products_per_row lt 4 and ($featured eq "Y" or $config.Appearance.featured_only_multicolumn eq "N")}

{include file="customer/main/products_t.tpl" products=$products}

{else}

{if $products}

{section name=product loop=$products}

{assign var="discount" value=0}

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" width="100%">

<tr style="background-color:{cycle values="#eee,#fff};">

<td style="width:300px;">

<font class="ProductTitle">{$products[product].product}</font>

</td>

<td>

{if $products[product].product_type eq "C"}

{include file="buttons/details.tpl" href="product.php?productid=`$products[product].productid`&cat=`$cat`&page=`$navigation_page`"}

{else}

{if $active_modules.Subscriptions ne "" and ($products[product].catalogprice gt 0 or $products[product].sub_priceplan gt 0)}

{include file="modules/Subscriptions/subscription_info_inlist.tpl"}

{else}

{if $products[product].taxed_price ne 0}

<font class="ProductPrice">{include file="currency.tpl" value=$products[product].taxed_price}</font>

{/if}

{/if}

</td>

<td style="text-align:right;width:110px;">

{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.buynow_button_enabled eq "Y"}

<form style="margin:0;" name="orderform_{$products[product].productid}_{$products[product].add_date}" method="post" action="cart.php?mode=add">

<input type="hidden" name="productid" value="{$products[product].productid}">

<input type="hidden" name="cat" value="{$smarty.get.cat|escape:"html"}">

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="{$smarty.get.page|escape:"html"}">

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1">

<input type="button" value="{$lng.lbl_add_to_cart}" onclick="document.orderform_{$products[product].productid}_{$products[product].add_date}.submit();">

</form>

{/if}

Zaja - you are a LEGEND!

Thank you so much brother - that works beautifully :)

I have a little problem though - after speaking with Jon at websitecm it turns out that I have to be using skin1/customer/main/products_t.tpl and NOT skin1/customer/main/products.tpl

Now i've had a look inside products_t.tpl and had a play around and boy is that one confusing page of code!

Could the code you have written here be used in the products_t.tpl file also? And where would I place it? Because everytime i've tried to edit it at all I get all kinds of math errors and smarty parse errors.

Ideally i'm trying to go from this : (which is the basic 1 column product_t.tpl with the buy button activated)

To something like this :

http://www.wyzeshop.com/2nd.jpg

Thanks again for hooking up that code man :)

Well....you need a full customization of product listing! ](*,)

It may be better to look into the "Professional Help Services - Requests" forum, there you can find users(like Ryan, TelaFirma, Boomer, Jon, Carrie ... ) that can do it for you with a reasonable fee.

So the code you pasted earlier can't just be thrown into products_t.tpl then?

Anyone have any idea what kind of dollar am I gonna be looking at for something like this?
