X-Cart forums - Thumbnails for product listings on category page

I got it! \:D/ (Thanks to this thread: http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=14995)

Because of other customizations, I had already separated my featured products display from my regular category products by creating customized products_featured.tpl and products_t_featured.tpl files. All I had to do was modify products_t.tpl file to be like this:

Code:

{* $Id: products_t.tpl,v 1.10.2.8 2005/06/06 05:18:43 mclap Exp $ *}

<TABLE border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><TR><TD class="TableThumbnailBorder">



<TABLE border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1">



{assign var="cols" value=3}

{math equation="floor(100/x)" x=$cols assign="width"}



{section name=product loop=$products}

{assign var="discount" value=0}



{if %product.index% is div by $cols}

<TR>

{assign var="cell_counter" value=0}

{/if}



{math equation="x+1" x=$cell_counter assign="cell_counter" }

<TD width="{$width}%" align="center" valign="top" class="DialogBox">



<TABLE width="25%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">

        product=$products[product].product tmbn_url=$products[product].tmbn_url}</A>

{$lng.lbl_sku}: {$products[product].productcode}




{if $active_modules.Special_Offers ne "" and $products[product].have_offers}

{/if}




{if $active_modules.Subscriptions ne "" and $products[product].catalogprice}

{include file="modules/Subscriptions/subscription_info_inlist.tpl"}

{else}

{if $products[product].taxed_price ne 0}

{if $products[product].list_price gt 0 and $products[product].taxed_price lt $products[product].list_price}

{math equation="100-(price/lprice)*100" price=$products[product].taxed_price lprice=$products[product].list_price format="%3.0f" assign=discount}

{if $discount gt 0}

</TABLE>

</TD></TR></TABLE>

{if $active_modules.Feature_Comparison ne '' && $products && $printable ne 'Y'}

{include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/compare_selected_button.tpl"}




{/if}

This line here controls the number of columns, just change the value=3 to the number of columns you want it displayed in:

Code:

{assign var="cols" value=3}

Also, this relies on the "Display only featured products list in multicolumn format" checkbox not being checked in the General Settings --> Appearance Options area of the admin.

Thanks for all your help!
