X-Cart forums

[Vern]

I have searched through both the manual and forum looking to find a way to expand the columns to more than three.

I would like to use x-cart for a photography shopping cart. Everything is visual with the arts, so having less navigation and buy now stuff on the products page is achievable. What I havenБ─≥t found was a way to put 6 columns or even have it variable depending on the users screen resolution.

First, set the "products per row" in your appearance preferences. Then you need to edit skin1/customer/main/products.tpl, find this code:

{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row ne "" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row gt 0 and $config.Appearance.products_per_row lt 4 and ($featured eq "Y" or $config.Appearance.featured_only_multicolumn eq "N")}

And change it to this:

{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row ne "" and $config.Appearance.products_per_row gt 0 and $config.Appearance.products_per_row lt 100 and ($featured eq "Y" or $config.Appearance.featured_only_multicolumn eq "N")}

The cart checks to make sure you do not have less than one or more than three columns. This code change makes it check for between 1 and 99 columns.

(This is untested, but should work with no problems)

This is one step closer to making the site a reality.

I have to say what makes xcart so good is its flexibility and the people who support it. I have used Miva, OSCommerce, and xcart on other sites, and xcart takes the cake!

Thank you

is it possible to have that four columns just for search results, and everything else remains at 3 columns?
