Ad/Special between product listing
 

hey all,

Is there a mod or code I can use that can 'break' between
the products listing? Anotherwords, 20 products (4 across/5 rows) on a page.
I'd like to put something after 8 products continue with 8 more and so on if need be. I havent been working with my site for a while so this code stuff is rusty. But i'll manage if guided right.

ex. + is product || = is divider/product/ad etc

+ + + +
+ + + +
=====
+ + + +
+ + + +
=====
+ + + +
+ + + +

Any help would be appreciated! ;-)

Products are called in a loop - either "foreach" (http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.foreach.tpl) or "section" (http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.section.tpl). You can use iteration to show whatever you want after so many loops.

Thanks Steve,

You're probably good at this stuff but trying to figure it all out is a bit out of my league for what I'd like to do. I'll pass for now.

again, Thanks for the reply.

Actually I was thinking of getting one of those banner modules where I can highlight certain products that are onsale etc.
If I could only get the code to call on those files that would be novel. As you say that section might be the area, but I cant figure where to put it after 8 products.

This code is toward the bottom of the category template mod:
