I just went straight into the database and changed it to 4, and then changed products.tpl to less than 5. worked like a charm.

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

Hi,

I put the code from #6 replacing this: {section name=product loop=$products}bla bla{/section} but nothing happened, I'm not getting an error but its still 3 products per column. (or row) Is it because I am using version 4.2?

thx for your help.

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

cool, hey could you dumb it down a bit for me? Where would I paste it and would I paste the whole thing? (i'm still a copy paster)

thx a lot!

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

copy and paste the entire thing thus replacing everything in products.tpl but make a back up copy somewhere on your local computor

this script basically is the new products.tpl located in Skin1/customer/main/products.tpl

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

dang, I did that and nothing seems to have happened, still 3 products per row. (tried entering 4 into the option box too)

?
Thx

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

Hey you were right, I was in skin1/main, i didn't realize there were more than 1 products.tpl, thanks! (its skin1/customer/main/products.tpl)

It works! I changed it to 5 per row too. The product name is bumping the top of the thumbnail on some, I can try and mess with that I guess.

Thanks again!

Re: how to get 4 products a row on products.tpl?

Has anyone got this to work on 4.2, the product.tpl is different, instead of a value of 4 it has &&.
