Category Grid not showing Add to Cart option

Post by Brewhaus » Sat Jul 06, 2013 3:03 pm

We are working toward upgrading to AC Gold (and what an undertaking it is!). I am sure that I will have several bumps along the way, but for right now the big issue is that CategoryGrid4 is not showing an Add to Cart option. This is one of only a couple of category grids that does not have the add to cart option, but it is the only grid that shows the category data and the only one that pays some attention to the sort order set in the Admin menu. It is the same category grid that we currently use with our 7.0.7 site because it does pay attention to the sort order that we set.

How can we modify the category grid to include the add to cart button, or is there some simple reason that it is not showing up?

Okay, I found where to turn on the Add to Cart option in CategoryGrid4, however, the individual item containers are not large enough, so the Add to Cart button covers part of the product summary (see http://www.moonshine-still.net/Turbo-Ye ... -C103.aspx). I have tried adding a height to the containers, but this only add space between the rows. I am sure that someone has hit this before- how do we solve this issue and increase the height of the item containers on the category grid page?

I am having the same problem. It looks like you fixed it.

What did you do to fix it?

Change height of box for item display
o Admin  Website  Themes, select theme that you need to make changes to
o In dropdown, select Product Grid Item Container
o Under "Position", change height (we used 300px)

Change placement of Add to Cart button
o Admin  Websites  Themes, select theme that you need to make changes to
o In dropdown, select View Additional Styles (at bottom)
o Search for div.productItemDisplay div.detailsArea. Second instance should show height of 85px. Change to 141px
o Search for div.productItemDisplay div.detailsArea div.details div.summary. Change 60px to 118px

Thanks, I'll try that when I get a chance. I have been doing a lot of work in regards to new website design and have gotten a bit burned out, for now.

Thanks,

I did it, but had to modify the following as well:


.itemListing .tableNode
{
height:XXXpx;


and

.itemListing .itemContainer
{
height:XXXpx;

Sorry about that. I had adjusted those for a separate reason, so I did not think to include them here. Unfortunately, in our case we have had to give up on upgrading to Gold (after roughly 100 hours of work!) because we have two outstanding issues that we cannot get help with, and they are necessities for us. So, we may have no choice but to start looking at other software options. :(
