How to Change Default Grid in Prestashop 1.6

How to Change Default Grid in Prestashop 1.6 – 1.7

By default Prestashop 1.6 uses grid of 3 products at the category page and 4 products at the homepage. Here is the solution on to change grid on these pages.

Prestashop 1.6 use Bootstrap, so we can change class of the columns.

Open product-list.tpl and find this code:

<li class="ajax_block_product{if $page_name == 'index' || $page_name == 'product'} col-xs-12 col-sm-4 
col-md-3{else} col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4{/if}{if $smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine 
== 0} last-in-line{elseif $smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 1} first-in-line{/if}{if 
$smarty.foreach.products.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.products.total - $totModulo)} last-line{/if}{if 
$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineTablet == 0} last-item-of-tablet-line{elseif 
$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineTablet == 1} first-item-of-tablet-line{/if}{if 
$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineMobile == 0} last-item-of-mobile-line{elseif 
$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineMobile == 1} first-item-of-mobile-line{/if}{if 
$smarty.foreach.products.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.products.total - $totModuloMobile)} last-mobile-
line{/if}">

<li class="ajax_block_product{if $page_name == 'index' || $page_name == 'product'} col-xs-12 col-sm-4

col-md-3{else} col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4{/if}{if $smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine

== 0} last-in-line{elseif $smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 1} first-in-line{/if}{if

$smarty.foreach.products.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.products.total - $totModulo)} last-line{/if}{if

$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineTablet == 0} last-item-of-tablet-line{elseif

$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineTablet == 1} first-item-of-tablet-line{/if}{if

$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineMobile == 0} last-item-of-mobile-line{elseif

$smarty.foreach.products.iteration%$nbItemsPerLineMobile == 1} first-item-of-mobile-line{/if}{if

$smarty.foreach.products.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.products.total - $totModuloMobile)} last-mobile-

line{/if}">

We need these – columns classes:

{if $page_name == 'index' || $page_name == 'product'} col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-md-3{else} 
col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4{/if}

1 2	{if $page_name == 'index' \|\| $page_name == 'product'} col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-md-3{else} col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4{/if}

For homepage change class col-md-3 to col-md-2, and you’ll get 6 columns grid.

For category page change class col-md-4 to class col-md-3, and you’ll get 4 columns grid.

You can change column class to any you need.

Don’t forget to change number of products per line:

{*define numbers of product per line in other page for desktop*}
	{if $page_name !='index' && $page_name !='product'}
		{assign var='nbItemsPerLine' value=4}
		{assign var='nbItemsPerLineTablet' value=2}
		{assign var='nbItemsPerLineMobile' value=3}
	{else}
		{assign var='nbItemsPerLine' value=6}
		{assign var='nbItemsPerLineTablet' value=3}
		{assign var='nbItemsPerLineMobile' value=2}
	{/if}

{*define numbers of product per line in other page for desktop*}

{if $page_name !='index' && $page_name !='product'}

{assign var='nbItemsPerLine' value=4}

{assign var='nbItemsPerLineTablet' value=2}

{assign var='nbItemsPerLineMobile' value=3}

{else}

{assign var='nbItemsPerLine' value=6}

{assign var='nbItemsPerLineTablet' value=3}

{assign var='nbItemsPerLineMobile' value=2}

{/if}

For correct list view find js/global.js and change the class for list view:

function display(view)
{
 if (view == 'list')
 {
$('.product_list > li').removeClass('col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3')
.addClass('col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-12');
}
 else 
 {
 $('.product_list > li').removeClass('col-xs-12 col-md-12').addClass('col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3');
}}

function display(view)

{

if (view == 'list')

{

$('.product_list > li').removeClass('col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3')

.addClass('col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-12');

}

else

{

$('.product_list > li').removeClass('col-xs-12 col-md-12').addClass('col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3');

}}

Prestashop 1.7

In Prestashop 1.7 as well as in its previous version 1.6 there are 3 product columns for category page and 4 columns for homepage. But there are some differences in implementation. In Prestashop 1.6 bootstrap classes are used (which is described above in details), while in Prestashop 1.7 everything is done with CSS styles. Moreover, in Prestashop 1.7 “display: flex” is applied to create a grid for product list block, and the block width is specified for the product list. Since the width of container block (or product list block), as well as the width of product block, has specified value, the number of products in a row depends on the container block (3 for category page and 4 for homepage). Default width of product list block is 257 pixels (and this is for category page as well as homepage). In order to change the number of products in a row, we should alter the product block width.

As an example, let’s try to carry out it on the category page (for homepage and other pages where there’s a product list, it will be the same). We’re going to create not 3, but 4 products in a row.

In the style file (make sure the file is attached after the file “/themes/classic/assets/css/theme.css”) we should specify the width of product block (according to the container width it will be 188 pixels).

"#products .thumbnail-container {width: 188px;}"

1	"#products .thumbnail-container {width: 188px;}"

But it’s not enough for us. Since we’ve changed the block width, we’ll have to change the style of the elements placed within the block.

"#products .highlighted-informations {width: 188px;}"
"#products img{width: 100%; margin: 0;}"
"#products .product-description {width: 188px;}"

"#products .highlighted-informations {width: 188px;}"

"#products img{width: 100%; margin: 0;}"

"#products .product-description {width: 188px;}"

Primarily, the product list looked that way:

After settings are implemented, it will look like this:

Dear guys,

I want to have 3 instead of 4 products on the productpage.
Can someone please sow me how to do ? (i can find the product-list.tpl and js/global.js and changed every md-4 into 3 but nothing changes :(

Marianne, thanks! Glad that my articles were helpful!

JJ, just make sure that you have changed col-md-3 to col-md-4 if you want 3 columns grid. Here is a description of how bootstrap grid works: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid

none of this works. changing the grid view messes up the list view and visa versa.

Good afternoon, Lena and thank you so much for all your advises :)
i do all you said and all is working .. (i mean… 6 products at the homepage and 4 products at the category)
But… exist a little problem .. (at the homepage)
Now
I can see 6 products .. in the “first line” (and that’s good)
but..
I see “2 products only” in “the second line” (I cannot see 6 products like the first line)

Thank you for reading these lines and waiting your answer
Have a good day
:)

How can i show more of 8 products there (in homepage)?..

How for mobile version, home future 2 colom??? please help me

Hi, thanks for the help. But it´s not worked here.

I did change de product_list.tpl (“col-md-2”) for homepage, and did change the global.js. When i whatch the files on ftp, they are exacly how you said to do up here. But when a see the homepage, the product list is still like this: “col-md-3”. So, it’s still showing 4 products per line. Is any more change to do?

Thanks Caue

The tutorial works fine, but if you are trying and you did’t see changes, you need to delete all objects( except index.php) from “cache/smarty/cache” and “cache/smarty/compile”

In 1.7 version you are free to use any instruments to achieve 2 columns, you may use bootstrap col-xs-6 class, or use flexbox, or create your own grid.

hi
in prestashop 1.7 when I make it to be 6 products per row, each product box looks too high (as compared with the width). Also when I insert the add to cart and quantity fields on each product, the add to cart button is too big. How can I add those 2 objects (add to cart and quantity) on each product when there are 6 products per row and how to make decrease the height of each product so it will look more in proportion?
thanks in advance

Hi Lena;
Thanks for your advanced advices, help much.
I have some unsolved problem about product display on home page.
As you can see, featurated products are displaying 2 products per arrow/line which I do not want to display in that way. I want them to be displayed 3 products per arrow as the same display in category page. If you click on one of the categories on the left column you can see that products display by 3 per arrow but not on home page. Whatever I tried to solve this I failed, never worked.
Please help me to solve this problem before I hurt myself.

Thanks,

Dear Ali,

Please contact our support department in case you need an individual consideration of the matter: store@belvg.com
We’ll be happy to assist.

Hi very nice instruction — however i have a question how to make the gap between the product container or maybe non at all so that it get closer together (divided only by line) and i can display more products

webhoster, not sure I clearly understand your question, but you can simply change the gap in styles
