How to display bestsellers horizontally? I would like 3 across. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, how do you change the image size of the bestsellers?

Ive never been quite sure on the whole displaying best sellers, if you are being watched by your competition then it gives the game away.

Myself I prefer the flexibility of Feature Product Manager for xcart. Gives you a bit more of control of where you can place products on pages and really lets you goto town on promotion etc

I made a mod for showing bestsellers horizontally and have it working in 4.2.3 version.

I made a revised version of bestsellers.tpl called bestsellers_r.tpl.

{*
$Id: bestsellers_r.tpl,v 1.13 2009/11/26 bestsellers in a row Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
{if $bestsellers}
  {capture name=bestsellers}
    <table class="rproducts">
<tr>
{section name=cat_num loop=$bestsellers}
<td>
      
        {if $config.Bestsellers.bestsellers_thumbnails eq "Y"}
           <a href="product.php?productid={$bestsellers[cat_num].productid} cat={$cat} bestseller=Y">
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$bestsellers[cat_num].productid product=$bestsellers[cat_num].product tmbn_url=$bestsellers[cat_num].tmbn_url}</a>
            <div class="details">
              <a class="product-title" href="product.php?productid={$bestsellers[cat_num].productid} cat={$cat} bestseller=Y">{$bestsellers[cat_num].product|escape}</a><br />
              {$lng.lbl_our_price}: {include file="currency.tpl" value=$bestsellers[cat_num].taxed_price}
            </div>
            <div class="clearing"></div>
          {else}
            <a class="product-title" href="product.php?productid={$bestsellers[cat_num].productid} cat={$cat} bestseller=Y">{$bestsellers[cat_num].product|escape}1</a><br />           
          {/if}
</td>
      {/section}
</tr>
    </table>
  {/capture}
  {include file="customer/dialog_nosort.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_bestsellers content=$smarty.capture.bestsellers}
{/if}

Then I modified the code on subcategories.tpl located here:

/customer/main/subcategories.tpl

I just modified the file name to bestsellers_r.tpl.

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers && $config.Bestsellers.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}
  {include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers_r.tpl"}
{/if}

See ya'

I just shared my mod code for this. Take a look at the thread.

Thanks for sharing your code.. but its not working for us

We are running the same version of x-cart but it just gives us this error message -

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "customer/dialog_nosort.tpl" in ../xcart/include/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092

any ideas?

Sorry 'bout that. I forgot that I made a new template called dialog_nosort.tpl under customer/ to remove the sorting feature which I found useless. Since as I only put 3 bestsellers, what's to sort?

Solution for you, change "customer/dialog_nosort.tpl" back to "customer/dialog.tpl"

You'll find this code at the bottom of the bestsellers_r.tpl

{/capture}
  {include file="customer/dialog_nosort.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_bestsellers content=$smarty.capture.bestsellers}
{/if}

and change it back to

{/capture}
  {include file="customer/dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_bestsellers content=$smarty.capture.bestsellers}
{/if}
