- - Pictures in recommends.tpl for 3 column format (https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=7506)

Ok, managed to pull the icon in, split it up into a 3 column layout and it looks great. Only problem is, if there is only one upselling link, the other two columns show the 'image not available' icon. What I suppose I need is a function to tell X-Cart to not display anything in the extra columns if there are only one or two items. A little help? :) Here's what I have for code:

Code:

{* $Id: related_products.tpl,v 1.7.6.1 2004/07/15 10:28:54 svowl Exp $ *}

{if $product_links ne ""}

{capture name=dialog}

<table border=0 cellspacing=5 align="center" width="100%">

<tr>

{section name=cat_num loop=3}

<td width=250 align=center valign=top>

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product_links[cat_num].productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$product_links[cat_num].product tmbn_url=$product_links[cat_num].tmbn_url}






<a href="product.php?productid={ $product_links[cat_num].productid }"{if $config.Modules.upselling_new_window eq 'Y'} target="_blank"{/if}>

<span class="ProductTitle">{ $product_links[cat_num].product|escape}</span>

</a>

</td>{/section}

</tr>

</table>

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_related_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

{/if}

It's because you are telling it to loop 3 times...

Code:

{section name=cat_num loop=3}

(but I suppose that is how you got three columns.)

Yep. What I need is an {if} statement in there that tells it to not display anything if there is only 1 or 2 products. Anyone care to help me out with that? I don't know Smarty well enough yet to come up with anything.

You need to count the number of results in the loop.

Look for a thread in Custom Mods by 27stars and about subcategory display. You can use a similar method to accomplish what you want to do.

or look at skin1/customer/main/productS.tpl

I really like this mod but do have one question, how would I make this mod display a 3x3 table with 9 recommended products instead of just the 3? Thanks in advance.

The original 3 column recommends code works fine in V4 (my version anyway), but it looks a bit clumsy as is because it squashes the item title against left hand side. It's easily fixed, here's the original code:

Code:

{* $Id: recommends.tpl,v 1.3 2004/03/01 16:26:00 salsabeel Exp $ *} 

{if $recommends} 

{capture name=recommends} 



<table border=0 width=100%> 

<tr> 



{section name=num loop=3} 

<td width=90 align=center valign=top> 

{$recommends[num].product}</font> 

</td> 

{/section} 



</tr> 

</table> 



 

{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_recommends content=$smarty.capture.recommends extra="width=100%"}{/if}

Just modify the first part to this:

Code:

{if $recommends} 

{capture name=recommends} 



<table border=0 width=100%> 

<tr> 



{section name=num loop=3} 

<td width=200 align=center valign=top>

et voila, just by changing the table width to 200 the title stretches all the way under the thumbnail.

Yes, this would be very nice. I have managed to squeeze in 4 columns across but would like another one or two more rows of it. Had a go at doing it myself, but with no success. The mod works great on 4.0.13 btw.

Did anyone figure out the IF statement to make a loop count and if EQ then add a

So if loop = 6 and 3 are written a
would come before the 4th one.

This is how I tried to do it but still make 1 row of six instead of 2 rows of 3
