Change number of products per page increments?

[chamber715]

Is there any way I can change the number of products per page increments? I'm changing my product list layout to a grid with 3 columns, so I'd like the increments to be something like 12, 24 and 36. I know I can change the initial number of products in the Preferences, but I don't see any way to change the increments there.

 

I've searched this forum and found some topics, but they all seem to be for older versions of Prestashop. I'm currently on 1.5.2.

Ok, so I kind of solved my own problem... I'm pretty sure the product per page increments are hard coded into frontController.php in the "classes" directory. I could've replaced the hard coded values with my preferred values, but I figured that's probably not the best idea since there's a chance that file will get overwritten if I upgrade my Prestashop installation in the future.

 

So instead, I modified nbr-product-page.tpl in the theme I was using. There's a line in that file:

{foreach from=$nArray item=nValue}

that I believe grabs the values from frontController.php and builds the drop down box for the number of products per page.

 

So what I did was created my own array of values to build the drop down box. I commented out the original foreach loop in case nArray does something else I'm not aware of. So I replaced the above line of code with these three lines instead:

{assign var="newNumbering" value=[12,24,36,48]}

{foreach from=$newNumbering item=nValue}

{*foreach from=$nArray item=nValue*}

 

I haven't tested this solution extensively, so there may be side effects that I'm not seeing yet, but so far it works. Hopefully, this can help out those of you who want to do something similar.

You could also override the function pagination, by adding it in "<prestashop location>/override/classes/controller/FrontController.php".

 

Custom overrides doesn't get overwritten when you upgrade.

 

But personally I did it the same way as you, that way it doesn't ruin it, if the shop gets a new theme.
