thumbnail columns misbehaving

I'm using 3.4.1 and I'm having a display problem. No matter what value I enter my thumbnails will only display in one column. It's always been this way, but I assumed it was because I only had a couple test products in the store. I now have a total of 4 test products and they're still showing in one tall column.

When I DO NOT check "Display only featured products list in multicolumn format" I get the 1 column. When I DO check it, none of the thumbnails show up.

Is the General settings>Appearance options the only place to change this? Any ideas on how to get the thumbnails to display in 3 columns instead of 1?

3.4.5 this feature works fine for me.

Perhaps upgrading may help?

I'm really not ready to upgrade yet, but shouldn't this work in 3.4.1 anyway?

Can you change a template to override the 1 column that is being displayed? X-Cart code confuses the heck out of me, but it's got to be somewhere in /customer/main/products_t.tpl or /customer/main/products.tpl, correct?

This seems like such a simple, totally necessary function, and I haven't done much template editing yet which might cause this problem. I've done some mods (like funkydunk's meta mod, and 'tell a friend'), but no one else who has used those is mentioning this problem.

PLEASE help me figure out where I can fix this. If there's a way to enter the value "3" columns rather than using an X-Cart template I will gladly do that. Please help!

Perhaps you could copy the products_t.tpl from 3.4.6 over your existing one and see if that helps?

Code:

{* $Id: products_t.tpl,v 1.4.2.2 2003/08/26 06:06:22 svowl Exp $ *}

<table border=0 width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td class="TableThumbnailBorder">

{assign var="cell_counter" value=0}

{/if}

</td></tr>

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

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

{else}

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

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

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

<font class=MarketPrice>{$lng.lbl_market_price}: <s>

{include file="currency.tpl" value=$products[product].list_price}

{/if}

{else}

Thanks for the suggestion, but the results are the same. Perhaps it's the products.tpl file?

Updated customer/products.php should do the trick. Note, I'd keep the above products_t.tpl also. Make sure in Admin->General Settings->Appearance Options that you have a value greater than one for products per row.

:!: Be sure and backup customer/products.php before copying the below code over.

hth. ;)

I stopped working on X-Cart for several months due to several seemingly "unexplainable" errors and have recently started again on version 3.4.14. I'm still having the same problem with thumbnails displaying in 1 column!

The only things I have done are to change standard details in the admin section (shipping & company info, etc.) and add the "Enable/Disable Profile Modified Email from Admin" mod. http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=3410

Under General Settings > Appearance Options, and I have 3 as "Display products list in multiple columns". I have 7 (test) products displaying all in 1 column.

Has anyone else experienced this? Since the suggestions below did not work, what else could it be?

Do you have "Display only featured products list in multicolumn format" checked under appearance options?

hey that did it this time! thank you for the reminder. hopefully this will stay displaying correctly through the other mods.
