Configuration of product headers

[NickW]

Can the layout of the product headers be easily configured or do I need to change the code in a php file?

Eg having clicked on a category in the shop, brief details of each product are listed; can the thumbnail images be switched off to not display, and can the header show the product_model data?

To switch off the thumbnails I guess all I need to do is enter a url to a small blank gif.

Tried setting the image to pixel_trans.gif, but I then need to reduce the height/width of the area reserved for the thumbnail.

You can turn of the pictures in the admin under 'Product Listing'

In Admin under Configuration|Images there is an option 'Images Required' which can be set true/false, you can also fix image sizes. However, I may want an image to display in the product detail page but not as a thumbnail in the header listing. I want to set the header listing page to dynamically size the header height according to whether there is an image to display or not. Otherwise there are gaps between product listings which are the height reserved for the thumbnail.

Which file has the code for the product listing (not the product detail)? Index.php references the product_listing module with <?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING); ?> In the product_listing module, between the html table tags, there is php code which sets the variable $lc_text to the value in each product field sequentially. So are the field values being listed in a string and concatenated with spaces?

I still haven't found the reference to the image in the header listings.

you need to go in to the admin and go to the "Configuration" Section. Then go to the section that says "Product Listing" these settings will only affect the product listing not the product info page. i think this is what you are looking for.

I've found where to turn product listing images off now thank you. I was thinking that I would try changing the listing to dynamically size the table row / image according to whether an image existed or not, but perhaps I better keep it as standard.
