Hi
The product listings are being displayed in grid format https://www.thelivingstore.co.uk/index. … t=DEFAULT. We would prefer the listings to be in standard view and at present they are in grid. How could we set standard view as default?
Please advise.

I'm seeing items presented in standard view - they are being shown in their own boxes, not in a category feature grid. Example of standard view:
https://kryptronic.com/DEV/public/Categ … Amplifiers
Example of feature grid view:
https://kryptronic.com/DEV/public/Categ … tar-Pedals

How can I set up the product listing so it looks more like https://kryptronic.com/DEV/public/Categ … ar-Pedals?

Change the product list display type for your category from Standard to Feature Grid (Store / Catalog / Categories, under the Display tab, update the Subcategory and Item Displays field), and adjust feature grid settings using Store / Component / Settings / Categories: Feature Grid View.

I just did this for our website!

I wanted to turn on the featured grid display for everything everywhere, including subcategories. I submitted the following SQL query (without the "code:" part, of course):
UPDATE ecom_cat SET addldisp="FEATGRID", subdisp="FEATGRID", addlcat="FEATGRID"
It looks like you can submit queries through the admin panel. SYSTEM > DATABASE > RAW DATABASE ADMIN > Submit Raw SQL Statement
(Our hosting service provides a tool called phpMyAdmin for accessing our databases, which is what I use since I'm usually tweaking a lot of things.)

Hi
How do I set online store search to the same listed view?
You can't. The search is not a category - it will present matched listings, not listings belonging to a category or sets of categories.

Thanks but I do have a separate issue: If you take a look at https://www.thelivingstore.co.uk/Catego … elevisions we are missing all the sub categories.
Normally we list LED screens, tv accessories, various screen sizes.
If however you search for 4k, the products get listed but they are not connected to the menu.
https://www.thelivingstore.co.uk/index. … ;SUBMIT=Go
Please could you help?
Was that because of the mySQL statement that I used yesterday?

It looks to me like you have the main category 'Flat screen Televisions' and it is showing a subcategory 'SMART TV's' that has two items in it. To show more subcategories, I assume you already related them to the main category, so all you need to do is set the direct category parent for some product offers to those other subcategories (Store / Catalog / Product Offers, Display - Category tab, update Direct Category Parent). This needs to be done because you are using a feature grid display on that main category and as such, you need offers related to each subcategory that is to be displayed.

No I haven't touched the categories. This is an import. i haven't touched this area. It clearly was working before the update.
I have screenshots for what I am seeing
I am assuming that I need to click Display Category Feature Grid* and set to True.
Please advise.

You need to update product offers to use a direct category parent matching a subcategory you want listed on that main category page:
Main Category -> Related to Subcategory: You've done this for at least one subcategory.
Offer -> Uses Subcategory for Direct Category Parent. That subcategory is related to Main Category: You've done this for two offers.

Ok I found it under televisions. I did this
and result I now see this
So do we need to set these for EVERY product offer on theh shop, or can we smply set these for categories?
