I had a template i made off of subcats

its for boomers BMY mod, i want to list all brands in a 3 column layout.

it works fine, except the FIRST row/column is always blank.

I have the select to select all where brand is not null.

i has to do with the index looping in the code below

{ include file="location.tpl" last_location="Search by Brand"}
{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }
{capture name=dialog}
{assign var="tmp" value="0"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$brand}
{if $brand[cat_num].brand}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if}
{/section}
{section name=cat_num loop=$brand}
{ if %cat_num.first% } 
<table border=0 cellspacing=5 width=100%> 
{/if} 
  {if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 3} 
     </tr><tr valign="top"> 
  {/if} 
<td valign="top" width="33%" align="center">
<a class="VertMenuItems" href="bmy_search.php?brand={ $brand[cat_num].brand }">
{ $brand[cat_num].brand }</a>
   </td> 
{ if %cat_num.last% } 
</tr></table> 
{/if} 
{/section}

{if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 3} seems to cause the output of </tr> at the beginning, but not sure why?

any ideas??

{if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 3 && %brand.index% ne 1}

%brand.index% may equal 0 at first so try that also.

GOT IT.

just had to transpose the If's

  {if $brand[cat_num].brand ne ""}
<td valign="top" width="33%" align="center">
<a class="VertMenuItems" href="bmy_search.php?brand={ $brand[cat_num].brand }">
{ $brand[cat_num].brand }</a>
   </td> 
   {/if}
     {if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 3} 
     </tr><tr valign="top"> 
  {/if}
