Hello,
I've seen a few posts in which people have requested that a teaser be made viewable in the catalog. While I'm pretty new to the Drupal/Ubercart community, AFAIK there's no way to do this with any version of Ubercart and I haven't seen anybody post any code, so I thought I post what I worked out to make teasers viewable in grid mode. It was amazingly simple! When using this code I put in tags in product descriptions to make it look how I wanted. You could likely make some similar easy changes to the code if you want the whole description to be visible.
To make teasers visible:
Around line 630 of uc_catalog/uc_catalog.module add:
variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser', true) ?
t('Every cell on the grid will display Teasers.') :
t('Cells on the grid will not display Teasers.'),
~line 1149:
if (variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser', TRUE)) {
$product_table .= ''. node_teaser($product->body) .'';
}
~line 1321:
$form['catalog-grid']['uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Display product teaser'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser', true),
);
Now you'll have to go into the grid view configuration menu and enable it.
Any reason why this feature isn't available?
I wonder the same thing
It would be much easier if we had the option to add more columns to the uc_product_table for example or in the grid display, especially the teaser (even from the excerpt module).
by the way i wanted to try this solution but it would be better to explain where to insert the snippets, in which function etc. not only about line xxx because this is really confusing.
More information on where to put the code
acdtrp: hope this helps.
I've posted my edited version of uc_catalog/uc_catalog.module
Also. here's a better description of what to change:
1) in function uc_catalog_settings_overview()
add:
variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser', true) ?
t('Every cell on the grid will display Teasers.') :
t('Cells on the grid will not display Teasers.'),
to the $sections[] with title 'Products grid settings'
2) in function theme_uc_catalog_product_grid($products)
add:
if (variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser', TRUE)) {
$product_table .= ''. node_teaser($product->body) .'';
}
after the if statement: if (variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_sell_price', TRUE)) { ... }
3) in function uc_catalog_grid_admin_form()
add:
$form['catalog-grid']['uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Display product teaser'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('uc_catalog_grid_display_teaser', true),
);
after $form['catalog-grid']['uc_catalog_grid_display_title'] is set.
