So, this is now fully sponsored, and a commendable community effort for making this happen.

We'll get this included in v8 and I'll post an update as soon as I have one :).

Sorry this one didn't make it into v8. Time ran out, but also this was going to involve some compatibility breaking to do it nicely. It's being implemented alongside issue #234, which is a general tidy up of all the catalogue templating.

The grid layout will be based on the current eCommerce catalogue layout (which is grid based, but was messily on top of the lists display mode). The design will be made a bit prettier though. When done, all the template and CSS rule namings will be much much clearer, and there'll be better code re-use. The implementation of the eCommerce catalogue layout was rather confusing, as 4 people had worked on it with some time constraints.

For the new 'grid' layout mode there will be an assumption that the 2nd field is an image. Although the templates could be modified to change that around if required.

Fair enough trade-off. I like that everything in Composr is getting a once-over for tidiness and re-use. I am sure that this will provide rewards to all in the future.

Updated TAR uploaded. Makes main_cc_embed builder UI provide the option for grid (had forgotten to mark this up).
