Is the following file being created in your vqmod/vqcache folder
vq-catalog_view_theme_default_template_product_category.tpl
if it is, please attach it to a reply to this post
--
In addition, edit your vqmod/vqmod.php
Make sure:
public $useCache = TRUE;
public $logging = FALSE;

Hi:
I change the code in files, clear cookies and get this error:
$.cookie is not a function
view = $.cookie('display');
I'm using OC 1.5.1.1 and custom theme based on default, any help?

There is however an additional code change that is required, especially if using SEO URLs otherwise a cookie is set only on a per category basis and when switching to a different category sometimes it defaults back to list view.
Here is the full code change for category.tpl
Find:
Change to:
Code: Select all
$.cookie('display', 'grid', { path: '/' });
Find:
Change to:
Code: Select all
$.cookie('display', 'list', { path: '/' });
Find:
Change to:
The above changes should be done to the following files:
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/category.tpl
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/manufacturer_info.tpl
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/search.tpl
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/special.tpl
or better still use vQmod ->
http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... ilit=vqmod
With my attached xml file:
uksb_grid_view_default.xml

Did you manually make the changes or did you use the vQmod file ?
If manually, please paste contents or attach the file you edited
If you used vQmod, then please attach the cached file

I think the easiest mod to make grid default (until it will be included as an option in the admin) is to add
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() { if(typeof display == 'function') { display('grid'); } });</script>
in the theme's footer.tpl.
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.
LE: I've written a module that does this without the need to edit the theme anymore:

Hi guys. Is there any way to do this in OC version 1.4.9.3? I have a custom theme installed and can't update to 1.5 because I have made significant modifications to. I am so new to this and am not a programmer. In fact, I had a programmer but he has a family emergency and I have been stuck trying to learn how to customize everything myself. I desperately want to be able to have the user be able to actually select between grid and list view where the grid view is set as default. I'm willing to pay someone to help me do this. Here is my website and I would love if someone might be able to contact me to help me. My email is christa at dustyknuckles.com and our website address is

Thanks so much !

Nope, it does not remove the List/Grid selector. It just switches the view to Grid (without you clicking on it every time).
But you just gave me the idea to include this "Hide selector" option in the module

In which case you need to edit the following files to remove the links:
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/category.tpl
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/manufacturer_info.tpl
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/search.tpl
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/special.tpl
