Products per Page on CTGY page

[afiumano]

I would like to change the number of products displayed on the CTGY and SRCH pages. I remember you used to have to edit the numbers manually in the code of the CTGY template. But I cannot seem to find that area anywhere. I tried just changing the default '12' to a '16' under the "Category Product List Layout' but of course that didn't work. I tried changing back to Point & Click mode & updating to 16 but that, of course, reverted the layout. Where can I edit the numbers?

Once you change the value in the settings, you will have to update the numbers in the code itself.

Right, but for some reason I am not seeing the 'code itself'. This is my Category Product List Layout:

<section class="o-layout u-grids-2 u-grids-4--l x-product-list">
    <mvt:foreach iterator="product" array="category_listing:products">
        <div class="o-layout__item u-text-center x-product-list__item t-defer-object" data-defer>
            <a class="u-block x-product-list__link" href="&mvte:product:link;">
                <figure class="x-product-list__figure">
                    <picture class="x-product-list__picture">
                    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:thumbnail">
                        <img src="&mvte:product:thumbnail;" alt="&mvte:product:name;" />
                    <mvt:else>
                        <img class="x-product-list__image" data-src="&mvte:product:imagetypes:main;" src="" alt="&mvte:product:name;">
                    </mvt:if>
                    </picture>
                    <figcaption class="x-product-list__figure-caption">
                        <mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:base_price GT l.settings:product:price">
                            <span class="x-product-list__price"><s>&mvt:product:formatted_base_price;</s></span>
                            <span class="x-product-list__price-red">&mvt:product:formatted_price;</span>
                        <mvt:else>
                            <mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:price EQ '0.00'">

I checked the readythemes item refinery but the only reference I really see is:

<input type="hidden" name="Per_Page" value="&mvte:global:Per_Page;" />

[Matt Zimmermann]

For Colossus, that code is located in the Global Header.

[afiumano]

Didn't even think to look there. Thanks.

[GDesigns]

Matt - please build in GPS in the next theme :) j/k

[dreamingdigital]

afiumano I feel your pain.

Install this search module Miva offers for free https://apps.miva.com/template-search-and-replace.html and your life will be 100x easier. The module UI is buggy of course but the search/replace itself works. I have no idea why this isn't just baked into the Miva admin.

[afiumano]

Do you know if that module searches through readytheme stuff or is it just page templates? I don't know how long I have spent 'searching' for the right snippet of code for things on a readytheme dev site.

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Yes, it works on ReadyTheme content that use managed templates (i.e., those content chunks that accept SMT code). PLEASE NOTE: Using it to replace can be VERY dangerous.

[afiumano]

Using replace scares me - you can just use it to search to find something and manually change things correct?

so I found the code in global header to change the 12/24/48 products option, but i am unable to figure out how to load 24 products right from the get go, is there a a way to change it instead of the default 12?

For Colossus, that code is located in the Global Header.

that should be in the CTGY template under the actual template box...

Thank you! Found it...
