As mentioned above, the control is in customer/main/products.tpl. IT basically checks to see what the number of columns is set to in the config settings. If it is more than 1, it goes to products_t.tpl, if not, it displays products.tpl

Thanks. Problem is resolved. Was a dumb error on my part.

Hi Balinor, I opened a new thread for this question, just now I found your answer in some other thread. I did that code change to 5 in products.tpl and in the appearance options, it takes only upto 3, if I give 4 or more, it says invalid data entry. can you help me with this.

Thanks

I have used this trick many times in the past, but it seems that it doesn't work in 4.1.10. When I try to enter the # of columns that I want in the general settings it says that it's an invalid entry. Has anyone found a way around this?

I managed to do this, you just need do the change in database after modifying the products.tpl file. It works.

• Change the code in customer\main\products.tpl. change that number on line 6.
• In the database, table “x-cart_config”, search for the field: “products_per_row”, edit the field, change the “value” to 6. In this case you don’t have to do any changes from admin-appearance options.

If you want to get the control from admin, then, do the code change as in point 1 above,

• In the database, table “x-cart_config”, search for the field: “products_per_row”, edit the field, change the “validation” ^[0-6]?$
• Then, you can change the number from the admin-apperance options.

Thanks

I manged to change the settings in the database, but the products.tpl in 4.2.1 does not let you change the number of rows...take a look:
