Change the number of products per row

[stubiewan]

Hi, has anyone been able to change the number of products displyed per row in v6 as you could in previous versions?

This is a v5 site done with 4 products in a row,

I now have 2 or 3 or 4 products in a row!!!!

Only thing is and I don't know if this is related, I now get an error when I add an item to the cart using the options to choose quantity on page or on confirm page (not when in shopping cart).

If you want the code I used for extra products please let me know.

Any help with the above would be great.

It is going to be trickier with v6 because as well as making sure that you start each product with NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR and ending each product with NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT you have also got to make sure the new NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN and NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND tags are in there.

The following code structure should work in a Product Layout tempate to lay out three products in a row:

NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<tr>
<td>
[product code]
</td>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<td>
[product code]
</td>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<td>
[product code]
</td>
</tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT

Naturally, you need to replace [product code] with code for inserting a product into the HTML. This would be a self contained HTML table that lays out one product in a compact way.

Many Thanks,

That was the code I ended up with last night :)

You may want to check what will happen if you don't have the final column full. You will miss the final </tr> tag. When I did my version I put a </tr> into Act_ProductBody.html just before the </table> so that things would work out in that case.

It will still generate slightly dodgy HTML as you will get two </tr> tags on a fully filled final line but that seems better than omitting one.

Thanks Norman,

hadn't noticed that, as it was working okay in IE6 and we had not yet tested NN or earlier IE.
