    Hi, I am using the plugin with Gridster-lite plugin and i managed to customize the look and feel of the pages according to the theme.

    I have some problems, though and need help solving them:
    1.I would like my home page to show all my products regardless of its category. I tried to use all the code on the content-al_product.php on the home page, but unless I pass a category as a query string, the home only shows posts.

    2. I tried setting a “all products” page on the admin page and id didn’t work. When I try to access it I get a 404.

    3. I have all the categories listed on the sidemenu. Since I would like my homepage to show all products, I would like to tweek the categories listing to work more like something in the lines of: http://mixitup.io/.
    But since I couldn’t make the above 2 features work, I don’t know how to go about it.

    thanks

    Thank you for your suggestions, I really appreciate it

    Currently the plugin doesn’t support product listing on home page. It will be added in future version. There will be an option to show product listing and categories with a shortcode.

    With a shortcode you will be able to show products on fronpage and categories inline.

    Version 1.2.0 has the [show_products] shortcode. You can now show your products on the home page or any different page.

    You can also show products by categories by using [show_products category=”id1,id2″].

    The same goes with showing just one or more products [show_products product=”id1,id2″].

    In the next version there will be a shortcode to show categories so it will solve your 3 problem.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the quick reply and more over for the quick fix to this!!

    I haven’ been able to check the code yet. Can you tell me what files you changed? Since I was experimenting with this and the theme I am using, I changed a lot of stuff and want to look at it closelly so future changes to the plugin won’t affect my site.

    Regards.

    This update was a big one so almost all the files where changed.

    I don’t recommend changing plugin files if you wan’t to get future versions.

    The plugin is extensively developed so it get updates with a lot of changes in the code.

    Ok. Thanks!
    Here are the tests I’ve done and how I I changed for the theme.
    http://chrysaltran.com.br/showcase/?al_product=teste4produto
    http://chrysaltran.com.br/showcase/?al_product-cat=cat1teste

    The change about using shotcodes could help with that? Or would I still need to change the theme files?

    Sorry for bugging you but i’m new to this.

    The shortcode just allow you to put products whenever you want on the page. If you are using classic product listing functionality you don’t need shortcode. However you will gain another nice functionalities and improvements so I strongly recommend to update.

    I see you added styling inline. This is really bad idea. You can do the same by adding styles to your theme css files so you don’t need to touch plugin files.

    In the future we will develop a templating system so you don’t need to touch plugin files to change HTML markup.
