    [t5c] Learning Curve



    Greetings,

    To the layman, the new template system is lacking a lot of information =
    about
    working with them. Any help would be sincerley appreciated.

    Question: I would like our categories page to show three rows of =
    products
    instead of the standard one.

    Build a three row table, populate each section that a product should =
    display
    with what syntax?, do I need to define number or will pagination still
    control that?

    <mvt:item name=3D"product_list" />

    Where do I place it in the existing categories template structure?=20

    Help!

    Nick

    Existing Category Display Template below





    <html>

    Nick,

    I did find out how to do this by looking at the new Demo Store.
    Merchant 5's documentation is strange. Some of it seems to cross
    back over to Merchant 4. Hope this helps a little.

      You mean 3 columns right?

      This is just a placeholder for the content that's in the "Category
      Product List Layout" tab. You want to make your changes there.

      Check out the demo admin, they have an example of 3 col's there under
      the Miva Fresh 2 store.

        Yes, I tapped into the template layouts in the Miva demos to see how they
        created the columns. For me it's easier to see samples - I wish Miva had
        included a select of layouts much like the VC templates.

          No, thank you!!! I found what I needed. I love y'all.

          It took a minute and your help to point me to the place holder, to use =
          the
          category list display tab, and toggling to advanced to access area for
          placing the html/scripts... Worked like a charm. Sometimes it just takes =
          a
          little help to connect the dots.

          <A HREF ="http://www.holidaysathome.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=3DCTGY&Catego=">http://www.holidaysathome.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=3DCTGY&Catego=</A>

          de=3DHOM-ENE

          I don't however like how the pictures juxtapose when the title of the
          product is two line instead of one.

          Thanks again!!

            Very cool - so MM5 got smart and included breadcrumb navigation? I hadn't
            paid attention to that - I was sleeping in class again ;) I guess it time
            I start jumping up and down and try to figure out where my upgrade copy is
            from Miva.

              If your images are all the same height (and they seem to be) you could
              just add valign=3D"top" to the td tags. That'd probably help quite a
              bit.
