List or Grid View - Make list the default

Where would this setting be located? I'm not seeing it in the admin console.

Hmmm....I did not have one, so I added one and I'm still not seeing a change??

What version are you running?  I know it's working for 2.4.

Also make sure you clear the cache after you make the change.

2.40. I cleared the cache and restarted the application. Still no change. We did upgrade from 2.30, not sure if that makes any difference.

So you changed the value from "grid" to "list"

My bad on this one, it appears someone has made the majority of the products Featured products. I didn't navigate through enough categories to discover it is working correctly with regards to the actual products that fall outside of the Featured products list. Can we not change the Featured Products listings to operate in a "list" mode as well? The reason I ask is, we've altered the ProductBox.cshtml file to include a nice table (smallest size being about 300px wide) and it looks terrible when in a "grid" mode.

There should be a file for the featured page.  You just have to determine what's the proper code and css that should make it look nicely for you.

vitran23....thanks for your help on this! Unfortunately, I don't see any where that I can make a "one change" fits all for the Featured Products listings, so I will continue on editing the pages the contain this list. Not a huge deal, as it only appears to be the category, manufacturer, and search page listings (maybe the mobile pages as well).

Thanks.  I needed to changed this on v3.0 and it worked.  Interesting though at first it did not because I put "List".
I changed it to "list" and they did it.  I wouldn't have guessed that it would be case sensitive.
