It is safe to use as it checks if the function is defined before calling it, so the browser doesn't spit out a javascript error on pages without products on them.

i literally tried everything i could find, including the vqmod extension for it. and this script for the footer.tpl was the only one that worked. thanks so much for this.

i do see a touch of lag before it auto-swaps to grid, but it's not a big deal (yet, anyway). i still find it fairly amazing that there's no list-grid default switcher in the admin. that should have been in there for years.

hi
I've changed the default view to grid but what happens now is that it goes back to list randomly - only sometimes, on some machines.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

This is what i've done

f (view) {
display(view);
} else {
display('list'); ---> change to grid
}

Hi,
I've just uploaded the latest VQMOD to my v1.51 store and installed without problems.
I moved your xml file for grid view default into the vqmod xml folder but it has no effect and still displays in list view.

i deletd all browsing history from explorer and ran ccleaner but no change.

have i done something wrong?

thanks

I should also add that i have a Bleen template as default, will that effect the xml file?

Ok so i thought i was very clever by editing the xml file in dreamweaver and changing the "/default/" to "/bleen/" - No Joy!

Wow!

I too would like to set my default views to Grid.

But after reading all of the above (and some other posts on this subject) i think I will leave it.

I will wait for Open cart to make a simple admin option Grid or List.

Hopefully in 1.6.

Really weird thread!
Does the xml from uksitebuilder is updated? I'm going to give it one try.

Reading this thread gave me a headache, there looked to be so many potential problems for what should be an easy Yes/No default option.

So I have installed CR2GridEnabler by cryoutcreations

It is working perfectly for me so far.
But I only have a basic default template.

Thanks cryoutcreations

Nice suggestion.
I'm using a custom theme but I'm going to try this extension anyway.

Thanks

I want to do the same thing...only display as grid. However, I cannot find the code in the product.tpl to change per below instructions. I found it in the category.tpl, but not in prod. Also, nothing changed on my site.
Please advise.

Hi Guys,

I'm using 1.5.5.1 and Simon's VQMOD xml files doesn't seem to be working. I was running an older version of the shop with the mod and it worked perfectly.

Is there an updated VQMOD file about for this?

Thanks

Just in case anyone is still looking at this, here is a modified version of the vqMod file to account for the change from $.cookie to $.totalStorage.

I left UKSB's details as I only made small changes.

I am using 1.5.5.1 and would love to have this working, I have added the vqmod file and changed default to my template name and still nothing. Surely this should be a simple change????

V. 1.5.5.1
Nothing else worked for me besides this hack.
Thank you.

Since this now thread spans everything from 1.5.0.0 through 1.5.5.1 and impliedly also 1.5.6.0 and 1.5.6.1, it may be appropriate just to say, the essential upshot is that once the DESIRED LIST OR GRID VIEW is operative the correspondingly detested contrary can be expunged by the simple expedient of <!--commenting out in .tpl and with <zz attention to silencing embedded php tags zz> in the same stroke// --> the block of code that gives customers any choice in the matter. It is an explicit choice implemented to reverse an original decision to give customers the choice but not to allow admins the choice to deny the choice. The change is as valid as the originally written code, there is in it no "hacking" (of OPEN SOURCE itself modified a proverbial 70 ways from Sunday along the entire way), and commenting has the advantage of reminding how to reinstate the choice, flip the default, or simplify cloning a successful installation. One would, of course, first back up any files before amending them.

I like to display each product's Available option in grid view. list view is to much long ( 40 to 45 option)
