eCommerce Product List Modifications or Custom Template?

Permalink 2 users found helpful
I'm looking to modify the product list or specify a template where there is a thumbnail displayed to the left, product title at the top to the right of the image, a truncated description below the title and a button to get "More Info" (or something of that sort) below the description aligned to the right. Seems like a pretty standard product layout.

Are there any custom templates in existence? Does anybody have some pointers on how to go about extending the product list to achieve this functionality? From what I can tell, the product list is simply rendering the product page and that makes it difficult to apply some unique functionality to the product list without also applying the functionality to the product page itself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

if you look at ecommerce the actual html is loaded from elements/product/display.php for the product detail block

to override make it in siteroot/elements/product/display.php

and then do whatever you want with it.

Or you can copy and paste that, name it something different and where it says Loader::packageElement in the block switch it to Loader::element and then load that file you created instead.

Either way works and accomplishes basically the same thing.

Elements throw a lot of people for a loop, and I am honestly not 100% sure why that particular view is in an element since i don't believe it is used anywhere else. i assume that maybe it was planned to be lightboxed or something?

Thank you for the response. I was able to get this figured out by creating a "custom" product element and modifying it to my needs then specifying the new custom product element within the product list. Kind of a workaround, but it got the job done. Thanks!
