Setting the number of columns in new_products.php - how?

[Guest]

Hey,

 

I have completly forgotten how to set the value of how manny columns to show in the new_products.php file (catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php)

 

Its at 3 at the moment, did i set this in Admin somewhere again?

 

 

Thank you very much for reading >_<

Was it done under Maximum values? Hmm I was picturing something called Default values but cant find it

Look into your osc Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values->New Products to list per row.

Hi Suzz,

 

this is not an admin setting ... it's directly in the file

catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php

 

right now you should see this

$info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center',

'params' => 'class="smallText" width="33%" valign="top"',

'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products['products_image'], $new_products['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])));

 

$col ++;

if ($col > 2) {

$col = 0;

$row ++;

}

 

change it into this, and you can then either create a key for admin to modify in admin configuration or just plain old hardcode it here:

$howmanycols = '4';

 

$info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center',

'params' => 'class="smallText" width="' . round(100/($howmanycols), 0). '%" valign="top"',

'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products['products_image'], $new_products['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])));

 

$col ++;

if ($col > ($howmanycols - 1)) {

$col = 0;

$row ++;

}
