[Resolved] Number of products displayed

[webspinning]

has any one discovered how to change the default number of products displayed? Used to be an option now it is set to 10 or all. NOt sure how to change the default from 10 to say 20?

What version are you on? I think this bug has been fixed in 6.0.2.

[Al Brookbanks]

It's not a bug. In v6 skins you need to edit the page splits and set the default one in the skins/{skin in use}/config.xml file

[webspinning]

Thanks the new config.xml is very different to that used in the skin for v5.

I will copy one over from a default skin and edit appropriately. Thank you for the steer.

[Al Brookbanks]

It's exactly the same but with an added block for layout.

hi. i couldnt find any config.xml with added block for layout in 6.0.2 and the bug wasn't fixed

Here is a part of the config.xml file you will find in a CC5 skin from a CC5 package:
 

    <creator>CubeCart Ltd</creator>
    <homepage>http://www.cubecart.com</homepage>
    <mobile>false</mobile>
  </info>

Here is the same part from the Foundation skin:

    <creator>CubeCart Limited</creator>
    <homepage>http://www.cubecart.com</homepage>
    <mobile>false</mobile>
    <responsive>true</responsive>
  </info>
  <layout>
    <products>
        <perpage amount="6" />
        <perpage default="true" amount="12" />
        <perpage amount="24" />
        <perpage amount="48" />
        <perpage amount="96" />
    </products>
  </layout>

Try adding the following to the CC5 skin:

After:
  </info>
Add:
  <layout>
    <products>
        <perpage default="true" amount="20" />
    </products>
  </layout>

Just found this and used the code as suggested and just wanted to say thanks because it worked perfectly!

I'm using the e-tone skin and am having this problem also. I've tried adding the above code, but still no luck. Here's the XML file for the e-tone skin:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<skin version="3.1">
  <info>
    <uid>[email protected]</uid>
    <type>skin</type>

Looks like changing this section to suit should do it:

 <layout>
    <products>
        <perpage default="true" amount="12" />
    </products>
  </layout>

Hi DB. I did that. It didn't work at first, but now it does seem to be working. I guess I need to wait a day or two to see if changes take effect before posting.

Thanks!

How about going back to tne developer of this skin and asking for support ?

CubeCart caches some aspects of the skin data. Perhaps that cached file expired and CubeCart took a fresh look at the data in the config.xml file.
