Ok so, by default xcart let's you pick 1,2 or 3 columns to display products... and we went ahead and tweaked ours to display 5 which is what we want for 95% of our products.

However, our bumperstickers are suffering because they are wider and shorter and usually have small lettering on them compaired to most everything else in the store.

My question is:
I'm trying to figure a way to set only the bumpersticker catagory to display 3 columns instead of 5 to allow us to increase the size of the thumbnail without screwing up the way the site is displayed.
I'm sure this involves an if/else someplace, (which I suck at, I do the programing only when I have to) but if there was an easier way, I'm all ears.

ok so, I should replace the line that defines the number of columns with somthing like..

{if $product.categoryid == 248}{(columns = 3)}
{else}{(columns = 5)}
{/if}

So what does the line look like that denotes the number of columns and what file should it be located in?

Hi,

My guess would be,

Go to skin1/customers/main/products_t.tpl

Find the code...

{math equation="floor(100/x)" x=$config.Appearance.products_per_row assign="width"}

And replace with this

{if $product.categoryid == 248}
{math equation="floor(100/x)" x=3 assign="width"}
{else}
{math equation="floor(100/x)" x=$config.Appearance.products_per_row assign="width"}
{/if}

Let me know if could solve your problem?

Why is it that I do not ahve Appearance Options under General Settings? I see general, company, email, security, and summary.

For version 4.1.9...

When in Admin's General Settings (configuration.php); in the main body of content look at the top box labelled "In this section:", in that box you should see a list of links... the first usually being "Appearance options" (configuration.php?option=Appearance). From pressing that link you should get to a page showing Pagination and Display options.

ok I can't get to configuration.php. When in general settings I do not see "In this section:" either. I am not sure what version this is. When I look in the cpanel at License it says version 2.1.

Ok I have put my version number and other info in my sig. Is it because we are using lite version that these options are not available?
