Hi,
I´m struggling to find out how to add a "link" in the category view for customers to click, which will load a "show as list" view of the products.
I have already coded two different layout designs, in the same default.php file based on if-rules, one being a list view and the other being a "normal" view with large pics ect.
As it is right now in administration I can manually set a category´s "Standard number of products per row" to 1, which will trigger my if-rule and make that category show with my "list view"-design. If left as "0" it will show as a "normal view".
Now, what I also want is a link that the customer can click, which will load the page in the "show as list"-view for that customer.
How is this done?

or
<?php
$currenturl=JURI::current();
$modifiedurl=$currenturl.'?Grid=1';
?>
<a href="<?php echo $modifiedurl ?>">Grid View </a>
<?php if (JRequest::getVar('Grid')!=0) { ?>
Grid html/css
<?php } ?>
Thanks!, I will take a closer look at this as soon as I can
Any luck with this?
I tried it but am just getting a blank screen...
Is it possible to give a bit more detail on how to implement this?
Thanks

Thanks for your prompt reply PRO
I went to the link you provided, read through the posts and implemented it on my development site. Everything works nicely with regards to changing the styles, but I was wondering about the alternate code you provided...

This code results in a blank screen when inserted in the category default.php... maybe I'm inserting it in the wrong place? This is why I asked for more detail on implementation.
What I would like to do is have the default.php for grid view and then load another page (default2.php) for list view - I really just want a flat list of the products in the current category, with product category, name, short description, and price with minimal styling - which I have done in default2.php. Is this possible using either of these methods?
Thanks again

Works like a charm! Simply added another link and if statement, one for grid view and one for list view, and with a bit of styling I got exactly what I needed. This method is MUCH easier than the other jQuery method...
