Miva Merchant 4 Module FAQs » Category Page Templates (BROK_CTGYTEMPLATES)
There can be as many as you want on a single row. There is a predefined template called "Three Products Across' which displays 3 products per row. Here is how to set up a template that shows more than three products across. First, look on the "listing" tab for the ID number next to the "Three Products Across" template. Then click on the "Templates" tab, then on the "New Template" tab. In the "Copy Template ID#" field enter the number you found for the "Three Products Across" template (the initial installation has that template with ID# 4). Then click on "load". This will copy the contents of the "Three Products Across" template to the new template. Enter a name for the template in the "Template Name" field. Then scroll down to the "Row template" field. You should see:
%product|01|%
%product|02|%
%product|03|%
To have a template display more than 3 products across is a simple matter of adding more cells to this table row. For example, if you want to display 6 products across, change the contents of the field to:
%product|01|%
%product|02|%
%product|03|%
%product|04|%
%product|05|%
%product|06|%
Then click on "update". Assign the template to the category you want to display 6 across, or make it your default template, and you're done.

- The templates are installed and I selected the template I want to use but it doesn't change the display of the products.
- I'm attempting to do this: %begin_if2|len('%prodtoken^|002|%')|% stuff to show if it's there %end_if% But it generates an error. What might the problem be?
- I would like to be able to have my category results be numbered using a numbered list.
- When I use the code: %begin_if|len(OUI_Products2.d.shortdesc)|% %var|OUI_Products2.d.shortdesc|% %end_if% it sometimes shows the short description for some other product.
- I would like to add a "rollover" effect to my "add to basket" button. I have the javascript to do it but how do I access the "add to basket" button since I'm displaying it with the token %prodadd%?
- I would like to format the links displayed by the %paging% token in the "Search Friendly Links" format from Copernicus. Is this possible?
- Is it possible to display a product which is randomly selected from a category?
- How can I display randomly selected products on my category pages?
- I'm using the "List with Quantity" template which adds all of the products to the basket at once. I put an "add to basket" button for each product but I would like to hide the "add to basket" button that displays below the products. How can I do this?
- I'd like to display the attributes in the "List with quantity" template (i.e the template with a single "add to basket" button). Is this possible?
- I'm using the %attrqtybox|xx|% feature for some of my products but the products are not being added to the basket correctly. Any ideas?
- Do you have an example of the use of Copernicus' Search Friendly Links module with the template module?
- I would like to use two %prodaddall% tokens on my "List with Quantity" template (one at the top and one at the bottom) but when I try this, I get an error message, "Unknown Screen". Can I do what I'm after?
- I have the category template as my products and there are 2 products which should be purchased together.Whenever a customer adds one of the products I want the system to get back to the category page and show only the attributes and the quantity box for the products that is not added, I want to show them they have one product added and give them the option to add the other product.
- I am trying to have a table display if there is or is not a category footer (and same deal for the header).
- How can I display only the description and price of the first product associated to that category?
- How do I use the OpenUI Short Description token in a category template?
- I would like to use the "attribute quantity" feature that you recently added to the module to let my customers select quantities for each attribute. However, instead of text fields, I would like to use drop down lists so that they can select the quantities. Can this be done?
- I have a checkbox attribute that I want to default as checked. I normally would use a VMod, but can't with Cat page templates. Do you have any ideas how I could do this with your module?
- What I would like to see is a vertical bar only displayed betweenproducts, so if X is a product, a row would look like this:for 4 products: X | X | X | X for 3 products: X | X | X for 2 products: X | X for 1 product: X
- Using the new attribute quantity feature, I would like to make sure that the customer selects a set number of attributes. For example, I'm selling a three pack of soap and I would like them to select a color for each item in the "pack". How can I go about this?
- I would like to have quantity boxes for my attributes so customers can select a quantitiy for each one rather than having to add the same product several times. For example, I sell fishing flies in different sizes and I would like my customers to be able to go to a product page and enter the quantity that they want for each size. Can I do this?
- The prices displayed by the module are not properly displaying the price calculated by my discount module. How can I get it to correctly display the price?
- Adding both "Add All to Basket" and "Add to basket" buttons in the "List with Quantity" template.
