Was this information Helpful?

Hi.

I just started working with Ubercart and I think it's amazing. Why I've been messing around with OSCommerce for all these years I don't know. I chose UC1.x because of the modules available.

There's one thing that has me stumped right now and I tink it's beacuse I'm just getting to know the inner workings of the Drupal/PHPTemplate system.

Displaying the products in a grid for categories is as easy as ticking a checkbox and editing the CSS, but whats the best way to do that with the manufacturers module?

Re: I need manufacturers as a grid, please help....

i don't use manufacturer module
i prefer the amazing cck/views couple : i create a taxonomy for product named label to put my manufacturer in
Then in views, i created a view in grid with sku,label,image,preview,add to cart

Drupal is so easy for that

Re: Re: I need manufacturers as a grid, please help....

That's great help, thanks. I had the views module installed already but it seems quite complicated.

I have set up the label, and added the fields and the filters but when I'm not sure how to set it up so I can use the filter dynamically.

I would like to be able to create a block that lists the "Label" terms and then show my custom view filtered with the term id selected by the user.

I still feel that it would be easier to override some functions(s) somewhere to enable a grid view for the manufacturer module.
