Hi,

I am not very content with the look of the current thumbnails, it is kinda confusing.

Can someone help me out on how to change the display template to this please? http://www.justforbubs.com.au/

Thanks for the help!

Well fer starters you're going to be editing skin1/customer/main/products.tpl or products_t.tpl files.

In there you will see the call to the thumbnails, it's an include statement. You can either manually set the "x" and "y" - width and height - in that include statement or stick with configuring the width in xcart and having it do it proportionally.

It looks to me as if the site you like is using a 120 width thumbnail configured the regular way through the x-cart backend.

As far as the layout, it is upto you to edit the html code appropriately to make the thumbnail show up next to the description, moving the price and "see details" verbiage below that.

Something like <tr><td><img tag></td><td>description</td></tr> blah blah blah....

Shoot me a url to your existing site so I can take a look at the differences between that and the one you like...

Are you famililar with hand-coding html?

Hi, I designed www.justforbubs.com.au so tell me what you are after and I can send you the tpl code, if that helps.

Hi sallyoz,

I like the display thumbnails that you have...very clean and clear for visiters to view.
My current thumbnail displays are very messy, very confusing, plus it doesn't have the simple text to describe what the products are. It would be very, very nice if you can show me how to change my current thumbnail display similar to yours (with box on each product, except, I want two products per role instead of 3 roles that you currently have).

[-o< Thank you in advance.

/customer/main/products_t.tpl page

To have two columns instead of three you just go to
admin -> General Settings -> Appearance Options

Display products list in multiple columns (1-3) (leave empty to use standard format): 2

Let me know if you need ANYTHING else.

cheers

Thank you sooo much, I have made some changes. Sorry to bother you again, is there anyway I can have the same product border just like yours. The one I have now is square...

Just do a save as when you're in Internet Explorer on the correct page and save the whole page to your computer. It downloads the images for you.

Is that what you were after?
