Layout
Argento Pure is using page_two_columns_right
layout for the category page. In order to
change it to another one you have to create [custom.xml][custom_xml] file with following
instruction:
<catalog_category_default>
<update handle="page_two_columns_right"/>
</catalog_category_default>
<catalog_category_layered>
<update handle="page_two_columns_right"/>
</catalog_category_layered>
Possible values for handle variable:
page_two_columns_left
page_two_columns_right
page_three_columns
page_one_column
Category Description
Category description is shown as collapsed block, when its height is longer than 250px. If you would like to disable description collapsing, you can add the following code to [custom.xml][custom_xml]:
<remove name="collapsed_category_description"/>
Sidebar navigation
The following code is used in order to display the sidebar navigation:
{{block type="navigationpro/navigation" template="tm/navigationpro/sidebar.phtml" name_in_layout="navpro-homepage-left" menu_name="argento_mall_left" enabled="1"}}
Product Listing

Image size
Follow the steps below to change the image’s size on the category view page:
-
Copy product list template to the
argento_custom
folder:cp app/design/frontend/argento/pure2/template/catalog/product/list.phtml app/design/frontend/argento/pure2_custom/template/catalog/product/list.phtml
-
Change the image dimensions in copied file.
Find the following lines:
<img id="product-collection-image-<?php echo $_product->getId(); ?>" src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->keepFrame(false)->resize(270); ?>" srcset="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->keepFrame(false)->resize(270); ?> 1x, <?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->keepFrame(false)->resize(270 * 2); ?> 2x" alt="<?php echo $this->stripTags($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image'), null, true) ?>" />
Replace them with:
<img id="product-collection-image-<?php echo $_product->getId(); ?>" src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->keepFrame(true)->resize(270, 270); ?>" srcset="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->keepFrame(true)->resize(270, 270); ?> 1x, <?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->keepFrame(true)->resize(270 * 2, 270 * 2); ?> 2x" alt="<?php echo $this->stripTags($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image'), null, true) ?>" />
Remember to make the same operation for the image in grid and list modes.
Product labels
The display of the label on product is powered by Prolabels module. You can add custom label or assign it to any items on the Category page at Templates-Master > Prolabels
backend page.
