Set number of products displayed per page (support thread)

[kamelion0927]

This is showing up on my site like this:

Number of Products Per Page:
Number of Products Per Page: 21 42 60 81 102


How can I get rid of the top line so that it only says "Number of Products Per Page:" one time?

Go into your admin > Tools > Developers Tool Kit and search for "Number of Products Per Page". The Tool Kit will show you which file you need to edit in order to remove the duplicate verbiage.

I'm running Zen Cart 1.3.9f with tons of add-ons so mine may differ, but when I did it, it showed the file that needed to be edited was includes/templates/MY-CUSTOM-FILES/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php. You probably have TEXT_DISPLAY_STEPS_NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS three times when it should only be in the template twice (one at the top and one at the bottom).

Hello.

I am having an issue installing this mod. I am running v1.3.9h. I have looked endlessly, and still am, on a fix to my problem. I followed the readme.txt but when I get to the line where I must replace $max_results= in the product_listing.php file, that variable is not listed in that file. Can someone please help me with this. On the site you will see: Show Number of Products Per Page: 0 0 0 All and they link to nothing. Here is the site.

Hi Guys

I got this working on the site as expected, thank you so much for this contribution.

I would like to take it one step forward and instead of having text links for items per page, I would like to have images displayed.

I have nearly got it but i think I have spent to much time on this now and Im just going backwards and forwards over my code and plus to much coffee doesn't help!

The code I have so far is:

if($step != '6') {
$result .= '<a href="'.zen_href_link($page, zen_get_all_get_params(array('max_display',$listing_page_name)))."&amp;max_display=$max_display".'" title="Show All Products" style="text-align:center; margin-left:40px;"><img src="includes/templates/TEMPLATENAME/images/button_showall.png" width="150" height="20" alt="Show All Products" /></a> ';
			
			}  
			
elseif($step = 'All') {
$result .= '<a href="'.zen_href_link($page, zen_get_all_get_params(array('max_display',$listing_page_name)))."&amp;max_display=$max_display".'" title="Show 6 Products" style="text-align:center; margin-left:40px;"><img src="includes/templates/TEMPLATENAME/images/button_show6.png" width="150" height="20" alt="Show 6 Products" /></a> ';
	}

So my intention with this is:

1. When you arrive on the page, it is displayed as 6 prods per page and only the "Show All" button is displayed plus the page navigation i.e. 1 2 3 4 [Next >>]
2. If the visitor clicks "Show All" the Image for "Show 6" is displayed
3. If the Visitor is in "Show All" Mode, then the "Show 6" Button will display

But I'm stuck. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

kid,
what version of zen are you using? where did you replace the $max_results= ??

[gjh42]

Small point:

elseif($step = 'All') {

should be

elseif($step == 'All') {


And really, the logic seems odd...
If $step is '6', neither part will be executed, and if $step is 'All", it will not be '6' and only the first part will be executed. The second part can never be executed.

Hi Guys

We are using v1.3.9h

The max display comes from:

includes/functions/extra_functions/max_display.php

It is the same kind of module as http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=716

Thanks for your help

[turtleo4]

in my includes/functions/extra_functions/ i do not have a max_display.php file. is that where you input the $max_results line? the instructions say to edit /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php am I missing something/don't know how to read? let me know.

Thanks

Sorry, I am using an older version of this module, all thats different is the name of the files. The file in the new version is named set_num_products.php. both the new and old module use $max_display

the original code that came with the module is below:

	$result .= '<a href="'.zen_href_link($page, zen_get_all_get_params(array('max_display',$listing_page_name)))."&amp;max_display=$max_display".'">'.$step.'</a> ';

and I am trying to turn the links into images with the following code:

if($step != '6') {
$result .= '<a href="'.zen_href_link($page, zen_get_all_get_params(array('max_display',$listing_page_name)))."&amp;max_display=$max_display".'" title="Show All Products" style="text-align:center; margin-left:40px;"><img src="includes/templates/TEMPLATENAME/images/button_showall.png" width="150" height="20" alt="Show All Products" /></a> ';
			
			}  
			
elseif($step = 'All') {
$result .= '<a href="'.zen_href_link($page, zen_get_all_get_params(array('max_display',$listing_page_name)))."&amp;max_display=$max_display".'" title="Show 6 Products" style="text-align:center; margin-left:40px;"><img src="includes/templates/TEMPLATENAME/images/button_show6.png" width="150" height="20" alt="Show 6 Products" /></a> ';
	}
	}

but my intention with this is:

1. When you arrive on the page, it is displayed as 6 prods per page and only the "Show All" button is displayed plus the page navigation i.e. 1 2 3 4 [Next >>]
2. If the visitor clicks "Show All" the Image for "Show 6" is displayed
3. If the Visitor is in "Show All" Mode, then the "Show 6" Button will display


But I'm stuck. Any help much appreciated.

I understand that you are trying to put images instead of the text but how did you get it to work? how did you complete this step
Edit /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php with the following code

Find:
$max_results = (PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE=='columns' && PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW>0) ? (PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW * (int)(MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_LISTING/PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW)) : MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_LISTING;

Replace by:
$max_results = (PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE=='columns' && PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW>0) ? (PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW * (int)($_SESSION['product_listing_max_display']/PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW)) : $_SESSION['product_listing_max_display'];

where did you find the $max_results line? there is no $ max_results in my Edit /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_listing.php file.

[kiddieshop]

I already have the following code in my override folder for product_listing.php

$max_results = (PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE=='columns' && PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW>0) ? (PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW * (int)($_SESSION['product_listing_max_display']/PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW)) : $_SESSION['product_listing_max_display'];

The module is working as it was intented to, but I want to change text links to images but only show the option relevant.

i.e.
if six products are displayed - show the "display all products" image only
if all products displayed - show the "display 6 products" image only
