Change Layout
<historylink type="back">🠈 Back</historylink> 🠉 SET UP SHOP
Phoenix looks great as it is but there are many easy ways to change the default layout.
Box Modules
Box Modules that show in the side columns of the webpage are installed by default.
From admin go to Modules → Boxes to see this:
Module Boxes can be set to show on either the left or right column or be disabled or removed so they do not show.
- Click on a module in the list to select it.
To change the column where the box displays:
- Click Edit
- Set Column Placement to either Left Column or Right Column.
- Click Save
To disable:
- Click Edit
- Set Enable...Module to False
- Click Save
To remove:
- Click Remove Module
Alternatively, more Box Modules can be installed.
- Click Install Module - the number shown next to the button indicates how many more modules are available.
- Click on a module in the list to select it.
- Click Install Module
- Click Edit
- Set Column Placement to either Left Column or Right Column.
- Enter a Sort Order value to sort the boxes displayed. Do not leave 0 as the Sort Order on modules as it can cause problems.
Page Width
Again, Phoenix looks great as it is but the page width can be changed is desired.
From admin go to Configuration → Bootstrap Setup
- Click Bootstrap Content
- Click Edit to see this:
As indicated in the edit options, changing the setting from 8 will reduce the width of the page content whilst increasing the width of the Module Boxes.
- Click Bootstrap Container
- Click Edit to see this:
If all Module Boxes have been removed, the webpage will display the full width of the screen.
Then changing the setting from container-fluid to container will reduce the webpage width to a central display with side margins. This change will only be effective if all Module Boxes have been removed.
Note that if all Module Boxes have been removed an alternative module for displaying Categories (not included with Phoenix) would need to be installed if displaying Categories is desired - it would be advised.
Product Listing
From admin go to Configuration → Product Listing
These are the settings for the display of products within a category.
So, again, Phoenix looks great as it is and so there is little reason to change the defaults here.
If you do have a play, ensure you note the defaults so they can be changed back again.
Product Images
From admin go to Modules → Header Tags → Colorbox Script
If multiple images have been uploaded for a product, the way they are displayed on the product page can be changed.
As indicated in the module settings, the number of images per row can be changed by changing the numeric setting.
For example, the default value of 155 shows one large image and two rows of 5 small thumbnails.
