found it:
{if %product.index% is not odd}
<TR>
{/if}
thats in the products.tpl... that logic doesnt apear to be working what so ever.
no to mention "is not odd"? how could that possibly work? how can that statement test 3 conditions, two of which are odd and determine the difference between 1 and 3, let alone 2 if it even worked.... another x-cart flop?
anyways, if you DONT want multicolmn format like me, comment the "if" statments out on the top of the main table and the bottom of the main table in products.tpl.
