Products per page

Post by Beachgirl » Tue Oct 26, 2010 3:10 pm

How do I change the amount of products per page that are displayed under categories and search?

I know that there are search and category option modules so the viewer can change the display, Featured and Latest Modules have the "Display Limit", I've tried to change the admin/settings "Rows per page" but this doesn't seem to change anything that I can see.

Thanks!

Each module has the ability to set it's own page rows.
Rows would be a multiple of columns.
If you set featured to use 4 column wide and want 4 rows, set display to 16.
In the demo, in category display options, the settings there are similar to what happens in the admin module settings.

"If you set featured to use 4 column wide and want 4 rows, set display to 16"

Yes, I do understand that and see that the extensions/module for featured, latest, popular, related and specials all have that exact option. This is my problem, Search only has an enable/disable drop down box ... no other options to set the display and I don't know how/where to set the display for categories, for example when a customer clicks on the category "tools", the category-product page displays the results.

I have 4 column wide and want to set the display to 16 for both search and category, could you please direct me as to where to change these specific settings? Oh and could you tell me what the admin/configuration/setting/shop "Rows per page" does?

Thank you.

Set the rows to 16. Rows per page is actually number of items per page now.
I should change the description.
Search column setting is under search options.
If you set search columns to 4, you will get 16 items.

Because it is kind of confusing, I'll modify the category, search, and manufacturer settings to each have their own products per page and maybe get ride of the max rows.
It will give more freedom to have different page settings.
