Change default No of products on showcat

[nassau]

Hi
I would like on showcat to make 24 products per page as default instead of 12.
I checked - Admin - showcat.php - rp_categories in MySQL - but i guess i'm going blind or searching at the wrong place
Thank you

perpage is always 3 times the number of thumbnail columns you want absolute.

Only way for you to do that without having 8 thumbs across would be to put some hardcoded variable at the top of your showcat template after this opening tag

Content visible to verified customers only.

Hi Chuck and thank you for your reply. I've got 6 .tmpl and i edited all of them like this:


<?
$perpage="24";

include( "{$Globals['TMPL_PATH']}/cathead.tmpl" );
include( "{$Globals['TMPL_PATH']}/categories.tmpl" );

No errors and the "Per page" drop down box is set on 24 but... i still get 12 products per page. I would extremely appreciate a bit more help if you have a free minute.
Thanks again

Try putting it in showcat.php

Thank you very much for the effort Chuck but there are quite a few $perpage in the file - i guess it should go somewhere in here:

}

$perpage1x = $Globals['thumbcols'];
$perpage3x = ($perpage1x * 3);
$perpage4x = ($perpage1x * 4);
$perpage5x = ($perpage1x * 5);
$perpage6x = ($perpage1x * 6);

if ( !empty($perpage) ) {
if ( $perpage > 90 ) $perpage = 90;
if ($perpage < $perpage1x) $perpage = $perpage1x;
}
else {
if ( isset($rpperpage) ) $perpage = $rpperpage;
else $perpage = $perpage3x;
}

if ( isset($page) && $page > 0 ) {
$startnumb = ($page*$perpage)-$perpage+1;
}

Hate to be a pain but could you please mark with red which one i should replace - or does it have to be added somewhere else? I guess i have to keep the:
<?
$perpage="24";
in the templates
Thank you

No if you place it where I said it works fine.
