Re: More than 3 columns product display

As mentioned above, the control is in customer/main/products.tpl. IT basically checks to see what the number of columns is set to in the config settings. If it is more than 1, it goes to products_t.tpl, if not, it displays products.tpl

Re: More than 3 columns product display

Thanks. Problem is resolved. Was a dumb error on my part.

Hi Balinor, I opened a new thread for this question, just now I found your answer in some other thread. I did that code change to 5 in products.tpl and in the appearance options, it takes only upto 3, if I give 4 or more, it says invalid data entry. can you help me with this.

Thanks

Re: More than 3 columns product display

I have used this trick many times in the past, but it seems that it doesn't work in 4.1.10. When I try to enter the # of columns that I want in the general settings it says that it's an invalid entry. Has anyone found a way around this?

Re: More than 3 columns product display

I managed to do this, you just need do the change in database after modifying the products.tpl file. It works.

Change the code in customer\main\products.tpl. change that number on line 6.
In the database, table “x-cart_config”, search for the field: “products_per_row”, edit the field, change the “value” to 6. In this case you don’t have to do any changes from admin-appearance options.

If you want to get the control from admin, then, do the code change as in point 1 above,
In the database, table “x-cart_config”, search for the field: “products_per_row”, edit the field, change the “validation” ^[0-6]?$
Then, you can change the number from the admin-apperance options.
Thanks

Re: More than 3 columns product display

I manged to change the settings in the database, but the products.tpl in 4.2.1 does not let you change the number of rows...take a look:
