Making products work in a list

[lomaximus]

hi guys

 

I'm having a little problem with my website. I have several products (usually around 20) in my categories and at the moment when i click on a category it just shows them 2 at a time and over 10plus pages. Another osc website I have done before used to have them as a list going down the page which would fit them all on one page! Any one know how i can do this?

 

cheers

Have you adjusted admin Configuration -> Maximum Values -> Search Results?

Hi Yes just have thanks but still not how i wanted it. They are not going in numerical order now! its obviously just going off the first 2 figures in each colomn and ordering them numerically from there. In product name i have for example "10000 a3 flyers" it is currently ordering as 1000, 10000, 100000, 15000, 20000, 250, 25000. Is there a way of getting it to read the whole number? Or just can I just manually order them?

 

Thanks

This is known as ASCII sort order. It doesn't matter how big that number is that begins with a '1', it will always sort before any number that begins with a '2'.

 

I don't know of any easy way to change it to a natural sort order. The sorts are done with both php and sql. Have you looked through the contributions?

 

Have you looked into using the product attributes for ordering quantities of a product so that you have a3 flyers, b2 posters, etc instead of products named by the order quantity?
