PhotoVideo theme change to 3 columns

Posted: 3 months ago Quote #142
I have the theme displaying fine but the home page shows 2 columns and I would like to have it show 3.  The index.cshtml page within the PhotoVideo theme is set for _ColumnsThree but yet only 2 columns show.  I found that removing the slider code from the index, _root and _columnsthree files allowed 3 columns on the home page but then messed up the layout when clicking on a category.

Any ideas?

Hello,
The PhotoVideo theme comes with 4 columns. If you want change to 3 columns, you need edit files in Themes/PhotoVideo/Views/Catalog folder. Simple change from 4 columns properties to 3 columns.

Thanks for your help.  What I am trying to accomplish is the same layout as in your Gifts theme home page where in the body you have a left column with Categories, Manufacturers and Information blocks, the slider and products displayed in the center and a right column with the mini shopping cart, Bestsellers and Newsletter sign-up box.  I got this to work on the home page by taking out the _ColumnsTwo code but this solution removes the left column Categories, Manufacturers and Information blocks.

You can see what I mean at www.glennwest.com/wdrc/.

Thanks again for your help!

Oops, I meant to say that it works on the home page but then clicking on one of the categories shows the missing left column on the categories page.

Hello,
You tried to use a css Mega Menu. When you go to create it you must make system name only and use custom TopicBlock.cshtml in Themes/YourTheme/Views/Topics/

Just find



    <div class="htmlcontent">
        @if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.Title))
        {
            <div class="htmlcontent-title">
                <h2 class="htmlcontent-header">
                    @Model.Title</h2>
            </div>
            <div class="clear">
            </div>
        }
        <div class="htmlcontent-body">
            @Html.Raw(Model.Body)
        </div>
    </div>

  

And replace it with


@Html.Raw(Model.Body)

Thanks, that did it!

Now, my other question.  when you go to http://www.glennwest.com/wdrc/p/4/west-artist-bassoon-reed you see that the product has 3 variants.  The giftslite theme (and others) will list these variants in 3 columns but the PhotoVideo theme lists them in 2.  I have looked everywhere for some way to have these listed in 3 columns but can't find the code.  Where can I change this?

Thanks!

Hello,
Please go to Themes/PhotoVideo/Content/styles.css

and find ".product-variant-line .add-info"
remove "padding: 10px;"

find ".product-variant-line" and
remove "margin: 10px;"
