Product Thumbnail Listing

[michael_s]

This contrib has much changed so has become Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturer Headings
with many new features:

Group Product Listing By Manufacturer with a manufacturer short description. The old admin controls apply along with some new ones.

The thumbnails part displays products with thumbnail images in a grid layout, you define how many boxes per line plus image & box sizes. It shows the product image in a box with product name,

price, short description (if you have that) & buy now or details button. This also supports Additional Images (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1032) If you have this it will select the medium size

image if it exists. Thumbnail also now has a pure 'grid' mode.

You can select block mode display in list/manufacturer listings similar to the 'new products' display.
You can also apply the thumbnail display to the new_products module & products_new page. NOTE: These files have an exrta date function, original will just list product to set limit, this adds a max

age for product (default is 60days) to change edit the commented line.

As some of the listing styles remove the heading (you can select to remove in other modes too) where a user would select sort mode (if they realised, its not obvious) I`ve add a drop down to select

sort order, that appears at the base of the product display, it will list according to what you have set in admin. Also added a drop down for user to select number of products shown per page.

The customer can switch between thumbnails & manufacturer if you set default to either provided you give the option. If you change default you must select a new category to reset your display.

If your store does'nt have manufacturers or your listing via search, the manufacturer mode will revert to list mode automatically.

There is now a pull down for sort order and a pull down for max results per page.
