Ok, managed to pull the icon in, split it up into a 3 column layout and it looks great. Only problem is, if there is only one upselling link, the other two columns show the 'image not available' icon. What I suppose I need is a function to tell X-Cart to not display anything in the extra columns if there are only one or two items. A little help? Here's what I have for code:

{* $Id: related_products.tpl,v 1.7.6.1 2004/07/15 10:28:54 svowl Exp $ *}
{if $product_links ne ""}
{capture name=dialog}
<table border=0 cellspacing=5 align="center" width="100%">
<tr>
{section name=cat_num loop=3}
<td width=250 align=center valign=top>
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product_links[cat_num].productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$product_links[cat_num].product tmbn_url=$product_links[cat_num].tmbn_url}


<a href="product.php?productid={ $product_links[cat_num].productid }"{if $config.Modules.upselling_new_window eq 'Y'} target="_blank"{/if}>
<span class="ProductTitle">{ $product_links[cat_num].product|escape}</span>
</a>
</td>{/section}
</tr>
</table>
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_related_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}
{/if}

It's because you are telling it to loop 3 times...

{section name=cat_num loop=3}

(but I suppose that is how you got three columns.)

[balinor]

Yep. What I need is an {if} statement in there that tells it to not display anything if there is only 1 or 2 products. Anyone care to help me out with that? I don't know Smarty well enough yet to come up with anything.

[adpboss]

You need to count the number of results in the loop.

Look for a thread in Custom Mods by 27stars and about subcategory display. You can use a similar method to accomplish what you want to do.

or look at skin1/customer/main/productS.tpl

I really like this mod but do have one question, how would I make this mod display a 3x3 table with 9 recommended products instead of just the 3? Thanks in advance.

The original 3 column recommends code works fine in V4 (my version anyway), but it looks a bit clumsy as is because it squashes the item title against left hand side. It's easily fixed, here's the original code:

{* $Id: recommends.tpl,v 1.3 2004/03/01 16:26:00 salsabeel Exp $ *} 
{if $recommends} 
{capture name=recommends} 

<table border=0 width=100%> 
<tr> 

{section name=num loop=3} 
<td width=90 align=center valign=top> 
{$recommends[num].product}</font> 
</td> 
{/section} 

</tr> 
</table> 

 
{/capture} 
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_recommends content=$smarty.capture.recommends extra="width=100%"}{/if} 

Just modify the first part to this:

{if $recommends} 
{capture name=recommends} 

<table border=0 width=100%> 
<tr> 

{section name=num loop=3} 
<td width=200 align=center valign=top> 

et voila, just by changing the table width to 200 the title stretches all the way under the thumbnail.

Yes, this would be very nice. I have managed to squeeze in 4 columns across but would like another one or two more rows of it. Had a go at doing it myself, but with no success. The mod works great on 4.0.13 btw.

Did anyone figure out the IF statement to make a loop count and if EQ then add a


So if loop = 6 and 3 are written a
would come before the 4th one.

This is how I tried to do it but still make 1 row of six instead of 2 rows of 3
