Was this information Helpful?

Well maybe not that simple, but I'm new to this and it seems it should be easy for me, but alas I can't get it.

I'm trying to set the images in my view (bonus grid view) to be links to the product, in my old just list view i had this, it was built with the theme wizard.

Can someone possibly shed some light on what i should do, as of right now the bonus grid view is just as .module, i'm not too familiar on how to transition it a .tpl.php file.

Example: epic-cc.com (home page is the main store view set up on the grid view)

Thanks!

Try This

Here, try this out.

1. Head over to:
/admin/build/views

2. Choose Edit for the view you want or start a new one

3. Make sure the usual is filled out. Desc, Name. Make sure you have page view clicked on, View type, Grid. Give it a URL.

4. Go to Fields and Add :

Node Title
Image: Image (field_image_cache) ----> not cart but Product List Link to Node
Product Sell Price
Product Add to Cart Link (If you want)

5. Go to Filters and Add:

Node: Publsihed
Node Type = is one of = product & product kit (if activated)
Taxonomy: Terms for Catalog = XXXX (This will only show the products related to the term you choose).

6. Publish.

PS, play with it. Add different fields to see what looks best. Choose different image presets. Use the buttons on the very far right hand side of the fields to move them up, down and delete. Its not gonna explode in a fiery mess of views

--------


Fields tells which fields to show. Ie, pictures, prices, titles, etc.

Filters tells views which kinds of nodes to add to views. All? Published ones only? Product nodes only? From which taxonomy group?

---------

To add it directly to the front page. The most simple method is head to:
admin/settings/site-information

change:
Default front page to the URL of you new view (not node). If you want your front page back. Just change it back to "node"

There are other ways to do this, but this is the most straight forward method and a common one for stores.

Gluck! (good luck)
