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?

[nerd luv]

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?

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

[B00MER]

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.

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?

[B00MER]

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

[nerd luv]

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