I just wanted to add this helpful hint.
I used the VQMod from Simon at UKSB, but it stopped working and for weeks I've driven myself potty trying to work out why, much to the frustration of Simon I guess who couldn't understand why it wouldn't work for me. I did email/bug him quite a bit about it. Sorry Simon! (his Google mod is the d's b's btw)
This all coincided with installing another Mod, and doing some other hacking.
This morning the light bulb went on! I had edited, and therefore copied to my theme folder, some tpl files. Thsi meant that the path use by uksb_grid_view_default.xml was no longer valid as it only references the default theme tpl files, and now OC wasn't using them anymore. DUH!
So if anyone else ever pulls their hair out then hopefully they'll come across this post. I know this is OC 101 but we aren't all perfect
Look for this path in the xml catalog/view/theme/YOURTHEMENAME/template/product/ and update it with your theme name. 4 occurrences.

Worked well on my site! Thanks

It stopped working for my client's site. I had created a theme, so I changed the path to just the product/category.tpl path, but it didn't work. I have de-installed and re-installed the vqmod but still not working.
I'm not the expert, but make sure you paths in OC point to your new theme, and then ensure the paths in the XML file from UKSB are correct. It's easy to overlook something... If you ready the code in the XML it's easy to follow.mirabelleza wrote:It stopped working for my client's site.

i hate to say it, but this isn't working for me either.
* properly changed all custom theme paths in the xml file
* cleared vqcache
* cleared cookies
still no dice. auto-loads to list view no matter what i do. i also tried the other simple hack from the other thread, and it didn't work either.
clearly it works for some people, but i'm stumped as to why i can't get it to work. which sucks because i hate list view with an amazing passion.

This drove me potty for weeks, and in the end, it was the path statements in the xml file, and/or the paths statements in the OC config files. If you are not using the default theme, then check and recheck all the paths. It does worksmashtransit wrote:i hate to say it, but this isn't working for me either.

i wish i could say it was. it's not though - i had all of those paths correctly changed before i uploaded it as well.nodric wrote:This drove me potty for weeks, and in the end, it was the path statements in the xml file, and/or the paths statements in the OC config files.

This thread was a real time saver! I had exactly the same issue that my default grid was suddenly not being remembered. I renamed the cookie file and changed the code in header.tpl and now it works again

for OC 1.5.5.1
Installed the edited 1.5.5.1 version and still not working
Changed the paths in the vqmod file. Which "OC config" files are other people talking about, where I should also change the paths?
This is doing my head in - I despise list view, it looks awful.
