Isotope, or Masonry, or Mosaic? Anyone?

-- url of the page with the problem -- : local, but irrelevant at this point, anyway

Hi,

Here's one for the weekend:

Has anyone tried - and possibly managed (!) - to display products in the frontend with either one of the following Isotope/Masonry/Mosaic beauties:
- "Isotope" as per isotope.metafizzy.co/
- "Masonry" as at masonry.desandro.com/
- or "Mosaic" as in www.rockettheme.com/extensions-joomla/roksprocket/
- and more at designshack.net/articles/css/masonry/

Frankly, I haven't been diving into it myself yet, and I'm not an experienced coder anyway. But I can't imagine it being so "super easy" with a(ny) e-commerce/shopping script as the guys at Design Shack claim.
Ok, it works with K2 and some other sources, but HikaShop...?
I've also seen an OpenCart template where it's nicely realized (via Themeforest to demo.kulerthemes.com/arcu/ ) - but again, HikaShop...?

Re-google-search produced nothing Perhaps one of you has a good idea, or Nicolas The Wizard himself?

If I get it to work, I'll be next in line for the HS Business + Market package. Promised.
Or do I really need to consider OpenCart + MultiMerch...?!
Anyway, need to get something going soon. Heeeeelp pleeeease...

Many thanks in advance,
LF

Woooohoo, Jerome, sounds promising! Thanks for responding so quickly, too.

Yes, as far as I can tell, they're all more or less the same, ul/li etc. Some Javascript must be loaded, but that's almost it. The rest is styling.

Where I fear for losing my last hair is how the ul/li's can be generated. Imagine a dynamic product inventory across several categories, worst case changing continuously thanks to "Market" and a growing family of vendors with each changing product offerings. Images. Prices and at least product names. You don't want to sit and type it all in AND keep it up-to-date, there's got to be some automatism, script or so to pull the info together and generate those ul/li's...

Categories would be the "tags" for the grouping, then sorting by date, price, perhaps location ("zone"), to name some.

How? Where? When? Unless extremely simple, with what else is on my long to-do list, I'd pay for it... and you bet you'd have a lot more people jumping up and down here if HikaShop would have it "on board"...! Again, I'd be the first to immediately buy the mentioned licenses.

Got more hints? Go make my day! Thanks so much!

Thanks again. That is a hint, and it does sound simple. I shall toy around with it one of these days and see where I end up. Will be back here then!

Hello.

Can you help me to set up masonry on my product lists?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

It requires a masonry script and modifying views such as "product / listing_div". Not a big problem if you have some developer skills. But other than the details depending on e.g. the script and your template, it's too complex of a modification to tell the whole story here in a few lines, and you may need to hire a developer if you can't do it yourself.

Ok, thanks for your quick replay.
