I turned off grid display and enabled table display, but it doesn't show any details other than the product name, price and the image column. Screenshot attached.

Is there a way to make the table display things like the author's name (this is a book store), some teaser text and ISBN (SKU) number?

I am using the default catalog module.

The basic answer is you can do this using Views. We provide Views integration for everything in the default catalog table so people can alter it however they need.

I suspected as much Eye-wink

Can I use the same url as the default catalog one for a view that I create to replace the table display?

Hello,
If we can find an answer for this I am happy to contribute $ to the Uber/Drupal cause for a big time sensitive project.
Our shopping cart is at the following URL:
http://www.med-e-mart.com/shop
1.) We are trying to fix the formatting because everything is off-center as you can see by going to the URL
2.) We are trying to make it so that we can sort the display based upon criteria such as date, manufacturer or product name. Is it possible to sort the results without creating all new pages for each sorting function?

Thank you so much for any feedback you can give on this!

Thanks
Chuc

Hi I'm tracing this one too.
I found various threads so far but no actually answers and also that guy getting a dressing down for being rude.

Are you saying to use views to directly affect the Catalog display or to create a view that mimics the Catalog and replace it?

I found the uc_products view which I guessed was the basis for the catalogue.
However when I altered it there was no change to the catalog view making me think otherwise.

Any helpful leads?

I just want to put the product description in the catalog list view.
It's gotta be easy, but like a number of people here we can't seem to find the right threads

I found that the uc_products views will list all products of all catalog.

My catalog has various catalog, like A, B, C, D

how to display all products under catalog A, B, C, or D only ?

I can alter the default uc_products views by adding a product description i.e. node->body and show properly on the views

Hi folks,

While working on http://www.slangenboren-online.nl/, I had the exact same issue as described in the first post, and I think Adrianmak's solution works.

A little more in detail: After not being able to modify the Catalog products list anywhere within Drupal or Ubercart, I started to look into the Ubercart source code. It seems that the Catalog products list is hardcoded in file ubercart/uc_products. E.g., around line 925, the n/a-string is mentioned that is displayed when there is no image.

As Adrianmak pointed out, it is an option to hack your solution there.

Regards,
Jeroen.
