Gizmo,

Changing the size of container makes no difference, even if you were to set the container to be 300px this still does not regulate what happens inside the container. If your title in the first box is 1 line and in the second box the title is 3 lines this causes everything in all the boxes to not line up with each other.

1 of 2 things needs to happen, either the product image and price must always align bottom somehow? or the same code needs to apply that regulate the product decription as in your second code that you have posted but only it needs to apply to product title.

Like I said this is provided "as is" by the original poster and others have tried adding other things along the way, and to me is still far from ideal, but that being said it does do certain things..
All I have done at this stage is modify appearance

I was just trying to help you a little, sometimes getting things spot on can take time, at the moment I have very little.

Maybe someone can come up for a great mod for this.

Thanks Gizmo,

I totally understand. I have played around with it a bit but will have more time over the weekend. I had the same problem with my product display, but BCS sorted that. Will try and find the file and see if I can implement the same thing on this mod.

Thanks for your help so far

Yeek, My reply looking back sounded harsh, wasn't meant that way....

Yep unfortunately sometimes to have things right, it pays, quite literally to do just that to get it the way you want.
As they say "you pay for what you get"

Maybe a line or something that can be set to display on the same spot regardless of how long your product title is. Any ideas?

In your manufacturerinfo.tpl find the part that is bold below...

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr > {foreach from=$manufacturerinfos item=manufacturerinfo }
<td width="20%" valign="top"><div style="border:1px solid #eee;padding:5px;margin:5px; text-align:center; height:160px;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"><a href="product.php?productid={$manufacturerinfo.pro ductid}&amp;cat={$cat}&amp;manufacturerinfo"> <font class="ProductTitle">{$manufacturerinfo.product}</font></a></div><br />
<a href="product.php?productid={$manufacturerinfo.pro ductid}&amp;cat={$cat}&amp;manufacturerinfo"> {include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" image_x=50 productid=$manufacturerinfo.productid product=$manufacturerinfo.product} </a><br />

<font class="ProductPrice"> Our Price:&nbsp; {include file="currency.tpl" value=$manufacturerinfo.price}</font><br />
{if $manufacturerinfo.list_price gt 0} <font class="MarketPrice"> Market Price:&nbsp;<s>{include file="currency.tpl" value=$manufacturerinfo.list_price}</s> </font> <br />
{/if}

</div></td>
{/foreach} </tr>
</table>

... and change it to...

<div class="manufacturerinfo-title"><a href="product.php?productid={$manufacturerinfo.productid}&amp;cat={$cat}" class="product-title">{$manufacturerinfo.product|truncate:64:" ":true}</a></div>

and add this to your main.css

.manufacturerinfo-title {
height: 40px;
}
.manufacturerinfo-title a:link,
.manufacturerinfo-title a:visited,
.manufacturerinfo-title a:hover,
.manufacturerinfo-title a:active
{ color: #000;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 12px;
  text-decoration: none; 
}
.manufacturerinfo-title a:hover
{ color: #1206FE;
  text-decoration: underline;
}

You will probably want to adjust colors, font sizes, etc. Do this by modifying the manufacturerinfo-title class. You can adjust the height of just the title by changing height: 40px; to whatever works for you.

Edit: In 4.1.x you don't have a main.css. Use skin1.css or skin1_c.css (whichever you are using).

Thanks JWait,

Very kind of you to help, but I have given up on Friday and past it over to BCS. They are going to completely revamp it to exactly the way I want it.

Your time was not wasted as I am sure other people would also like to know, thanks

Dan.roh,

Actually I gave up on this project because it tends to display not only the product the customer is looking at, but sometimes "repeats" products displayed as well....

Like for instance, if the customer is looking at "Product1" it displays...

Product1 - Product2 - Product2 - Product3

I may get back into it when I have more time, but with the uncertainty of how x-cart is going to proceed with PCI/PAA compliance it is on the back burner.

[Dan.roh]

I understand your frustration, but in my case I am happy because mine very seldom repeat because I have alot of products under a manufacturer.

I got mine all sorted now. BCSE came to my rescue! I even got it set up in my admin that I can disable the tab under certain manufacturers if there are not enough products under that manufacturer.

This is really nice mod.
But it's not working with x-cart 4.5.4 gold plus !

Has any one successfully installed it with 4.5.4 ? then please share the code here or can any one familiar with php can please make this mod work with 4.5.4 ?

Thanks in advance

[RichieRich]

Also looking for 4.5.4 gold plus version
