4 products to a column? Is it possible?

Hi There,

sorry if this has been covered, I did a search with non luck,

is it possible to have 4 thumbnails across in the products list, it only lets me do 3?

Thanks!

Spence

In the template /customer/main/products.tpl change the line

Code:

{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row ne "" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row gt 0 and $config.Appearance.products_per_row lt 4 and ($featured eq "Y" or $config.Appearance.featured_only_multicolumn eq "N")}

Code:

{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row ne "" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row gt 0 and $config.Appearance.products_per_row lt 5 and ($featured eq "Y" or $config.Appearance.featured_only_multicolumn eq "N")}

Thank-you so much mate!

Yes thanks, works a treat in version 3 also.

I see the only difference between the original and new code above is the 4 changing to a 5. I did this and for some reason it didn't work. I'm starting to think that it could have something to do with the version I'm using (x-cat 4.013). Any thoughts?

Hi Online Michael

Did you enable it in your admin under general settings from 3 columns to 4

Thanks.. This worked great :)

I did now... and it works fantastic. Sorry about that, I thought that simply changing 4 to 5 was all that needed doing. Thanks for your help Zardos.

However, I'm not out of the woods yet. What I would like to do is make the 'featured products' dialog a 2 column products dialog while everything else is in 4 column format (particularly the 'product listing' page). Would this be too difficult to do? I've tried to do it using the following method:

I duplicated the products.tpl file by naming it products_featured.tpl and then changed all references in the featured.tpl

From:

Code:

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$f_products featured="Y"}

to:

Code:

{include file="customer/main/products_featured.tpl" products=$f_products featured="Y"}

I then started editing the products_featured.tpl file to make it into a 2 column format and not matter what I did, I either got 4 columns or nothing at all. ](*,)

Has anyone managed to do this kind of thing before?
