How do I set # of products per page?

[JaneyDoe]

Right now I have one main category with 16 products listed. I'd like to limit this to 10 per page or 20 per page .... is this possible?

I saw how to limit reviews per page, just not products

The default perpage is 12 per page.

I guess I didn't explain it properly. I guess I meant sub-categories, but now that I see they can be sorted alphabetically, all on the main page is fine.

Okay well any category has a default perpage of 12.

SGL.

There is no specific setting for this. If you have your number of columns to 4 it will be 12 and columns to 5 it would be 15 it is always 3 times the number of columns you have unless you alter the scripting in some way.

Its determined by the show category option & some multiplies in the showcat.php file.

Show Category Options: "Number of columns for thumbnail pages"

That will be the # used in the multiplier of the dropdown.

So say you have that set to 4 ...

The drop down would show 12,16,20,24

If you want to change that, Open up showcat.php and look for this around line 156 ...

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

Change those multipliers (3,4,5,6) and change the default # of columns to get what you want in the drop down.
