Hi all.

I've just found this useful extention
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... &order=ASC
and wonder if anyone can tell me how to alter it so only price gets displayed.

I also need an advice on how to remove a box around a product image on category page plus make opencart auto-position images according to their sizes.
Right now, if I make a product image size bigger than 200x200, images overlap. How to remove this feature in opencart so I would always get, let's say, a 1mm gap inbetween images and images do not overlap, and can be of any size.

Sounds too much, but I've spent many days on trying to achieve it myself with no luck.

Thank you all.

Can you send a link to your category page so we can look? I have advice, but don't want to offer it until I look at your category page. Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you for the link. The reason there is the white box/border around your images is because they are not square in dimension. Open Cart send all of it's images through a re-size function that re sizes it according to the parameters you set in the admin. If the image is not square (20X20) then it leaves a white border on either side. Default Open cart background color is white so normally this does not matter. With custom templates like yours...it becomes a factor. Here is a solution that I offered a while ago that works good to solve this issue:

http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... ite+border

That article, if you follow the directions will get you what you want. It trims all excess white around thumbnails by using Crop.

I think it's time I just made this a vqMod and gave it away for free. It is indeed in my eyes a problem because there is no guarantee that anyone will be using SQUARE images.

Thank you for the explanation.

avikki, what about image overlaping when bigger then 200pix wide? As you could see, I realy need bigger product images on category pages; this is due to the nature of my product.
Thank you.
