Products per row in VirtueMart 3.0.12

[mauriziomomix]

Hi all,
I'm trying to solve one problem with the layout of my shop in progress.
Whatever I write in the "Products per row" field in Virtuemart Configuration, the result is always the same: one product per row.
The Virtuemart installation has started on a clean Joomla 3.4.8 site.

Does anyone has already solved one similar problem?
Many thanks

Maurizio

Commercial template or VirtueMart template overrides?

[mauriziomomix]

Hi Jenkinhill,
is a commercial template, but not for virtuemart. So, it hasn't a "com_virtuemart" folder inside it.
Please note that in a previous "pre relase" of the same website, using a previous non-updated version of virtuemart, the number of items per row was correctly working.
After having redone the whole site with the new version of virtuemart I'm having this problem.
Just as a test, I've overwritten the whole "components/com_virtuemart" using the previous one: the result has confiermed that the problem is inside the new one (since using the older set of files the number of items per row returns working correctly).

I hope I was clear enough :-)

Many thanks
Maurizio

Nobody else has reported this problem, and there have been around 100,000 installs of 3.0.12. Maybe a file issue, so I suggest you either re-install 3.0.12 or try the current 3.0.13 release.

Ok Jenkinhill,
I think the same...
So I will try following yous suggestion, first of all reinstalling VM 3.0.12.
Is it correct just re-doing installation of the component and the all in one or there is another way?

Thanks and BR
Maurizio

correct.. just use the joomla installer and your data won't be touched

[mauriziomomix]

No way...
I tried both reinstalling 3.0.12 and installing 3.0.13 but the behavior is the same.
I think I'm going to load it online to show the evidence of this.

it more sounds like to me a css somewhere with width:100% over riding the VM widths

[mauriziomomix]

Yes, it seems.
But I can't understand how it comes.
In the previous version, built on a "Quickstart template" on which I added virtuemart, the product per line was correctly shown.
In the new build I started from a clean J3x plus VM3... 
I will probably use the previous :-)

It is important to know why this happened, so If you cannot post a live url to the site then have a look using Firebug, this should enable you to check the css.  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102850.0

I'm going to publish online the website on a test domain.
Can I send you superuser username and password by report to admin function?

Thanks

not required.. if it is css it will be obvious from the front end

[jenkinhill]

I don't do home (BE) visits (that is my paying job) but if you post the url here someone can look at the css.

Yes, it was!

in /components/com_virtuemart/assets/css/vm-ltr-site.css

.vm-products-horizon.vm-col
           width: 100%;

Thank you very much.
I didn't try to watch in css since believe to handle everything by VM backend... but it isn't actually so...

[jenkinhill]

AH!!  You have products_horizon set for "Sublayouts for products in category" in Configuration/Templates? In all the sites I have come across I have never seen anyone use that setting. Now I know to ask about that!
