Alternative product layout

[Guest sametch]

I am just evealuating CubeCart. I notice when adding many products to a category they are displayed down the page in a series of individual rows.

I would like to display a matrix of product thumnails with "more" hyperlinks. Typically 3 in a row and 12 on a page. when there are more than 12 items these will spill across onto a second page.

Is this possible in Cubecart?

Can it be done in settings or does it require programming?

With very basic PHP knowledge you will be able to do this...

Any clues? I have found the template viewCat.tpl and the code for the product layout:

  <!-- BEGIN: products -->

  <tr>

    <td align="center" class="{CLASS}"><a href="index.php?act=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}" target="_self"><img src="{SRC_PROD_THUMB}" alt="{TXT_TITLE}" border="0" /></a></td>

    <td valign="top" class="{CLASS}"><a href="index.php?act=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}" target="_self" class="txtDefault"><strong>{TXT_TITLE}</strong></a><br />

	{TXT_DESC}<div class="txtOutOfStock">{TXT_OUTOFSTOCK}</div></td>

	<td align="center" class="{CLASS}">{TXT_PRICE}

    <div class="txtSale">{TXT_SALE_PRICE}</div></td>

    <td align="right" nowrap='nowrap' class="{CLASS}">

	<form action="{CURRENT_URL}" method="post" name="prod{PRODUCT_ID}">

	<!-- BEGIN: buy_btn -->

	<input type="hidden" name="add" value="{PRODUCT_ID}" />

	<input type="hidden" name="quan" value="1" /><a href="javascript:submitDoc('prod{PRODUCT_ID}');" target="_self" class="txtButton">{BTN_BUY}</a><!-- END: buy_btn --> <a href="index.php?act=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}" target="_self" class="txtButton">{BTN_MORE}</a></form></td>

</tr>

<!-- END: products -->

I assume this repeats a series of <tr></tr> cells for each product in a single long column.

But if I put the <!-- BEGIN: products --> after the <tr> and before the <td> it will create a single row with lots of columns.

I guess what I need is to go across 3 and then fold to a new row etc.

I am struggling to see how I can do this
