I looked into this further in firebug.
I get the following array data for the $categories array in /wp-ecommerce/wpsc.admin/includes/save-data.functions.php
Array ( [term_id] => 1505 [name] => Stillson & Pipe Wrenches [slug] => stillson-pipe-wrenches [term_group] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 1513 [taxonomy] => wpsc_product_category [description] => [parent] => 120 [count] => 2 [nice-name] => [image] => Stillson Wrenches.jpg [fee] => 0 [active] => 1 [order] => 0 [display_type] => grid [image_height] => [image_width] => [use_additional_form_set] => )
The display_type is set to grid.
When I look in firebug, the following code is showing:
<select name='display_type'>
<option value='default'>Default View</option>
<option value='list'>List View</option>
<option value='grid' checked='checked'>Grid View</option>
</select>
But the “Default View” is the selected item in the drop-down and that’s what it saves as each time.
Same behaviour in Chrome, FF and IE.
Any ideas?

Should the option not have selected=’selected’ as an attribute rather than checked=’checked’

Found the bug in /wp-ecommerce/wpsc.admin/includes/save-data.functions.php
Lines 335, 336 and 337 should have
selected( $display_type, 'default' );
instead of
checked( $display_type, 'default' );
Can yo please update the WPEC core?
I have noticed this and it is annoying, I can do it myself but as soon as I hand the site over to client I just know they will forget to re select grid view each time. I will try the fix above and hope that works thanks Lime Canvas
that fix didn’t seem to work for me 🙁
taking your lead on where to look Lime Canvas, I did this to make the grid view the default on mine:
line 163 (and the few lines following) change to this:
<option value='grid'<?php checked( _wpsc_is_display_type_supported( 'grid' ), false ); ?><?php checked( $display_type, 'grid' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e('Grid View', 'wpsc'); ?></option>
<option value='default'<?php disabled( $display_type, 'default' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e('Default View', 'wpsc'); ?></option>
<option value='list'<?php disabled( _wpsc_is_display_type_supported( 'list' ), false ); ?><?php checked( $display_type, 'list' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e('List View', 'wpsc'); ?></option>
line 336 (and the few lines following) change to this:
<option value='grid' <?php checked( _wpsc_is_display_type_supported( 'grid' ), false ); ?><?php checked( $display_type, 'grid' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e( 'Grid View', 'wpsc' ); ?></option>
<option value='default'<?php disabled( $display_type, 'default' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e( 'Default View', 'wpsc' ); ?></option>
<option value='list'<?php disabled( _wpsc_is_display_type_supported( 'list' ), false ); ?><?php checked( $display_type, 'list' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e('List View', 'wpsc'); ?></option>
<option value='grid' <?php disabled( _wpsc_is_display_type_supported( 'grid' ), false ); ?><?php checked( $display_type, 'grid' ); ?>><?php esc_html_e( 'Grid View', 'wpsc' ); ?></option>
This seems to be working fine so far…

Cool @igloobob – I hope WPEC take note and apply the fix.
They are not so good at responding to the community here 🙁
You’re not wrong! It seems every corner I turn I run into another problem, upon searching the web, all I find is users asking for help and trying to muddle solutions between themselves. I wouldn’t mind but I’ve paid about $100 for gold cart and other plugins.
Their customer service SUCKS.
Today’s first hair pulling issue:
getting payments to show accepted rather than pending after paypal payment!
any ideas?
I am having a similar issue, I basically want category pages in WPEC to show as default view but want to select individual categories to view as grid view (I have Gold Cart) I accepted the fact that once products are marked as featured I could not get the featured on their own page, so what I do is get a product categorized normally and cross-categorize it with my ‘Featured’ product category, and when the Featured category is viewed I want Grid View but otherwise I want Default view, when I go to Products > Categories > Featured > Catalog View: Set to Grid View it does not save despite saying ‘Item Updated Successfully’, how would I get this to do as it’s told? Thanks
I have posted this if this will help new replies come in it is remotely similar to the main issue featured here – Thanks: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-pages-wpec

Coming back real quick, I have stumbled across this page looking for the PHP document responsible for default view, list view and grid view seem to have their own files. -That’s all I want, can’t find it anywhere tho?
Cheers

(P.S: Can started threads be shut down here?)
This is still an issue. I applied the fix above but still the individual category setting overrides the global presentation » setting. Since it has “default” as the default option, that’s what gets saved.
I already submitted a ticket at github.
