I would like to off my customers two product display options.

In the store display settings 4 options are listed (horizontal, vertical, vertical (list view), vertical (list view with ability to add quantities.)

I would like to have two links at the top of the page:  Horizontal Style, and Vertical list view with the ability to add quantities. 

Any suggestions on how to give the user the ability to change their personal view?

Josh

Easy - just add "&pagestyle=x", where "x" = h, l, m or p to meet your preferences:

wouldn't that take the viewer to category 5 every time?

Hi Joshs,
   Greg was providing an example. You would need to use the variable (available in the code already) for the categoryID.

Joshs, the example I gave you is the key to accomplishing your requirement, and it is very elementary for anyone who understand programming, but two things will have to happen. 

Once a decision is made as to where on the page these "alternate view options" are to appear, one will have to locate the appropriate place in the code to implement the links - along with any border or such to highlight the links.  then you have to form the links themselves.

The point of my example is that the coding in the page already exists to allow the page to deal with multiple views. Explaining how and where in the page such code should be placed is a bit beyond what I'm able to do in the forum.  Unless you can tackle this, contact me to discuss or reference the partner list for other developers.
