Sub-category default view list instead of thumbnail
Hi,
We are look for a way to change our default view on certain sub-categories. We have a browse by model category which is a page of brand logos, we then want sub category 1 to be in a list as default with no thumbnails, but then sub-category 2 to revert back to thumbnails showing the products available for subcategory 1. Is this possible? I know the list format can be clicked, but we want it to be a default for all customers as the amount of sections in sub 1 looks very messy with thumbnails. Thanks :-) |

I think this is very possible. Perhaps just a module that adds a checkbox on the category page, allowing you to toggle "display in list".

It would be a combination of following modules:

Thanks, will give this a try. Do you think this would be a good addition as a default option when creating categories? |
Re: Sub-category default view list instead of thumbnail
It depends on how often you create categories. Do you often create them?

We have an expanding catalog, not just for us, i think it would be a good feature for anyone, having list as a default cleans big categories up and makes the site look a lot neater.
Back to the problem and the steps you said to solve it. I followed the steps to create the module, but upon resetting cache the store gets stuck on step 6 of 11. I deleted the created module and did the cache again and it got the store out of maintenance mode. Any idea why the store keeps getting stuck? |

1) Do you have any error messages in the <X-Cart>/var/log/ folder? If so, please send them to me.
2) In order to reset the cache rebuilding process please follow the instruction here: http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/What+to+do+if+you+cannot+access+your+store+and+it+ says+we+are+deploying+new+changes Tony. |
