Number of Columns

[craven]

I think v4 needs the ability to have different number of columns on idex.php and browse.php. This way we could display 3 columns on category pages and 2 on the main page.

Currently when I display 3 columns my main page looks horrible because of all the extra content on front. But if I disply 2 the category pages don't look correct.

Can you throw this in on 4 Dody?

Thanks,

pass the number of columns you want to show through the display routine.

dody's display routine only handles up to 4 columns ( I think that is generally sufficient ). I created a routine on the http://www.indexuhelp.com/ site to handle an unlimited number of columns. I also show how to have a different number of columns on the index page versus the browse page.

This was too easy! For those who care here it is

Change this line in browse.php

$category_obj->number_of_columns = $cat_columns;


To this (substitute how many columns you want for 3)

$category_obj->number_of_columns = 3;

Great Job! Sometimes the best solution is the easy one staring us in the face!
