ProductList

The ProductList store block enables you to set the design used for displaying lists of products in the current category. View a sample ProductList displayed here.

Modifying templates is a convenient means of listing products in a category according to your design requirements. All templates of the ProductList block are stored in the folder avactis-templates/catalog/product-list/default/.

The ProductList block consists of three types of templates: a container, an empty container and common-item templates.

•	The container template (product-list-container.tpl.html) is used to define the design of the overall ProductList block. For example, you can define border width and border color of the block, place a block title in its upper section, etc.

•	The empty template (product-list-container-empty.tpl.html) is the default block used by default when the current category contains no products. You can specify an appropriate text, for instance, "There are no products in this category".

•	The common item template (product-list-item-general.tpl.html) is used to define the design of a group of common items in a block. There can be several such templates: for each type of product you can define a template used to display it.

The figure below shows the outline of templates of the ProductList block provided with Avactis Shopping Cart by default.
