Changing new products module

[Gameprodigy]

Ok here is what I want to do, the "new products module" i want to change it to a column instead of rows, currently the module will align new products in a horizontal row 3 wide, and then ad columns vertically depending on how many you want to display.

 

What I want it to do is display 1 product in a horizontal row and then create a vertical column for the next product.

 

so instead of

 

product - product - product

product - product -product

 

I want

 

product

product

product

and so on.

 

I am pretty sure this would be edited in the includes/modules/new_products.php

I have been playing with the code but as i change it i can only get it to display either fewer products or only one row, I cant get it to make a new column for each one.

 

Here is the module code.

 if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id == '0') ) {
$new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " .

$info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center',
									   'params' => 'class="smallText" width="33%" valign="top"',

'</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 ++;
}
 }

 new contentBox($info_box_contents);
?>
<!-- new_products_eof //-->

 

This is the spot I was messing with

$col ++;

if ($col > 2) {

$col =0;

$row ++;

but I couldnt configure it right.

 $col ++;
if ($col > 0) {
$col =0;
$row ++
