Was this information Helpful?

Hi,

I just got into Ubercart and I was wondering, how to I make all the products list out on one page using a grid type view? I see it in other example sites posted here but I don't know how to do it or how to make certain catalogs list on separate pages. Also, I tried out making a product kit, and it seems to list the items I pick in a list and have an add cart button. It doesn't seem to be what i'm looking for, so I'm actually really confused as to what product kit is.

Can someone clarify and help me out?

Thanks,
Becky

Re: Listing all items in a grid view

You're most likely seeing the output of the core catalog module when set to grid display.

This is what i'm seeing..

Here is a screenshot of what I see. Right now i have Garland enabled as I'm trying this out on my local machine before I put it into practice on the web: http://www.runjeeta.com./productkit.jpg

Is product kit meant to be what people use when they want to display all their products in an organized way in a grid type view?
Like I said, not really clear on this...

Thanks!

Re: This is what i'm seeing..

You can choose the grid view for your catalog at admin/store/settings/catalog/edit/grid

A Product Kit is a collection of products sold together as if they were one item. For example, each of the 3 "Pirates of the Caribbean" DVDs can be sold as a product, but grouped together in a Product Kit they can also be sold as a 3 DVD set at a special price.

Oh ok. That's great. Thanks for the info on product kit. For my Catalogue/grid (which I'm making in Drupal )view I want to do a couple things but I'm not sure how. Can you advise?
I have 2 possibly more catalogues with different types of products. I want to give the options view as separate catalogues, view all by manufacturer and View by newest added item. How would I accomplish this? What page do I go to to view the listings in my catalogue? I know that seems like a silly question but I'm not sure.... is there a specified link or do i have to make a page.tpl or what ?

Thanks,
raspberryheaven

Hey,

Do you know how the Drupal Taxonomy system works?
If not, i recommend checking the Handbooks on Drupal.org and also this page about the Catalog - http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/301/catalog_settings .

Ubercart's Catalog is basically the root category. The first thing you do is create subcategories that represent the areas of your store.

--

Those would be: (example) Shoes, Shirts, Trousers.

Then under Shoes: Football, Running, Training.

Under Shirts: Casual, Polos, T-shirts.

And so on.

--

So when creating a new product, you assign one or more of the categories above cited.

As you do that, you will see that your Catalog tree starts building up (Add the Catalog block to your sidebar if you didnt already).

--

As for Views, play around with the Views module.

Btw, product kits are something completely different.

I think TR explained well what they represent.
