I use the market_mp_list_products function in my templates like so:

The variables you need to send in the function are:
market_mp_list_products($echo, $paginate, $page, $per_page, $order_by, $order, $category, $tag);

The first variable is $echo and should be set to true, otherwise the function doesn’t echo anything back. Pagination doesn’t work either so I set my $per_page to 100 which is more than enough to display all the products that may come up (you can set it to whatever you need).

i have downloaded the plugin and just trying to get it to work right on my web site. i'm building a multi-site web site with many store in it. and want to display global products not just products on the main site. and i want it to pick products from all the categories.this is the short code that we are all given. [mp_product_grid paginate="true" page="1" per_page="10" order_by="price" order="DESC" category="downloads"] but want to change it like this will it work? [mp_list_global_product_grid paginate="true" page="1" per_page="10" order_by="random" order="DESC" category="all"] i am very new to playing with code but i don't fear it lol thanks for any feed back you can give. jafar

How do I add this grid so that it displays with my product categories too??? Because when I click on product category, the normal layout appears :/

Good afternoon, Chris! I tell you, I am so excited to be able to list a grid for products in my site, but in Pagelines framework it only lists items down the page. I can screen shot it for you, I’m working on a local development copy. Code added to shop page: [mp_product_grid paginate="true" page="1" per_page="10" order_by="price" order="DESC" category="seeded-paper"]

plugin not working at all, not displaying a grid. This is something that Marketpress should have had built in from the beginning. VERY frustrating! Thanks for your efforts.

Hey Chris,

I had the same problem. if you notice, the rows that have 3 items in them have product names with 3 line in the rows above them. What I did was go into the CSS and give the boxes a difined height (don’t remember exactly what maybe 270px?). Now I get the same number in each row. I used Firefox and Fifebug to locate the exact CSS style to edit.

how did you get the columns to work? i still only have the signal product list

Hi,

I’ve installed your plug-in, I love MarketPress and I was hoping someone would do a grid shortcode soon. I’ve activated it and added the new code but it is still showing as a signal product list… someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong???

http://www.aegeiaskincare.org/products/ ANY THOUGHTS AS TO WHY THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT LAYING OUT AS A GRID? SORRY… STILL NEW AT THIS PART.

I’m wondering how to use a template tag instead of the shortcode to initiate the grid view. My goal is to replace the default mp_category.php display with the grid display.

Would calling the mp_product_grid_sc() function in the page template be the right place to start?

Hi,
How to get product posts category name, that post upload from marketpress oscommerce plugin.

Love the plug Chris. Curious though how I can use this shortcode on my store itself. I have it on the main page but wanting to do a grid on the individual store pages (ex. http://www.iarugged.com/store/products/category/camping-outdoors-gear/). No tsure how I can go about doing this. Thanks again for the great plugin.

I am working with a project and am using Marketpress lite. I want to use your plugin aswell. But how to show the products list on the home page??

I tried with market-press and got the success. but the pagination is not working on the home page, rather is working on teh product category pages. I want to try out with your plugin to see if the pagination is working or not.

My requirement is only the pagination to work. Do help me please.

Choose the page where you want products to appear, then put in that short code.

What page you you currently have set up to show your product listings? Go to that one, and replace the MarketPress code with the Grid one.

I activated the plugin, but my products still show up in a list format. You mentioned about adding a short code – I just don’t know where I am suppose to put the short code?? (sorry I’m a newbie too)

By: Chris

Chris — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:46:58 +0000

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean. It should work as in the example above -

[mp_product_grid paginate="true" page="1" per_page="10" order_by="price" order="DESC" category="downloads"]

I’ve had issues with a couple of themes and the css. Glad its working now!

Thanks much! I was baffled as to why this worked perfectly in Thesis but was unusable in the Edu-Clean theme. CSS change did the trick!

where should I put the optional attributes?

thanks

Hey Becky, sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. You just need to upload the zip file, it's only about 3kb, its tiny. It's called marketpress-grid.zip. You can download it directly here - http://allaboutchris.org/?download=MarketPress%20Grid%20plugin.

Hi Chris,
I want the plugin on my home and products page. I would really like to find your plugin on the wordpress plugin page what’s the exact name of it so I can upload it on my dashboard instead of uploading it on my computer because the zip file is too big and it won’t allow me to upload it, it separates as I do that and can’t get all the files together to upload it. Thanks a ton

So, this is probably a newbie question. But how do I dictate the number of columns I want? Right now, I have 9 products that I want on a 3×3 grid, but they are stuck in 4 columns instead.

Thanks!
