How to display one column on front page?

[awesomepay]

Does anyone know how to make the file that displays the new products on the front page (/includes/modules/new_products.php) show only 1 column? Right now it displays 2.

I tried editing the fields in admin-product listing (Product Display Type (Default = 0 or Columns = 1) and Number of Columns for product listings ) but that did not do the job. I also tried searching the forum for new_products.php and no one has asked this question yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In what I believe is one of the silliest code decisions in OSC the new, featured and the specials do not call the product_listing_col.php or product_listing.php, but actually duplicate the code in the featured.php and specials.php to do the same thing as product_listing_col.php

Now, if you wanted to do the "right thing" you would pull out the code that builds the table display for new, featured and specials and add a require to product_listing_col.php or product_listing.php that builds the display table. This is a somewhat major hackjob, but will actually make the code more maintainable in the long run. It would also move the code from a module to a function, again, a better way to do it.

Here is the code you will want to hack

//  $info_box_contents = array();
  $box_content = array();

//  while ($new_products = tep_db_fetch_array($new_products_query)) {
    for ($x = 0; $x < $no_of_new_products; $x++) {
    $new_products[$x]['products_name'] = tep_get_products_name($new_products[$x]['products
_id']);

    $box_content[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center',
                                           'params' => 'class="smallText" width="33%" vali
gn="top"',
                                           'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_
PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products[$x]['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS
_IMAGES . $new_products[$x]['products_image'], $new_products[$x]['products_name'], SMALL_I
MAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INF
O, 'products_id=' . $new_products[$x]['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products[$x]['products
_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products[$x]['products_price'], tep
_get_tax_rate($new_products[$x]['products_tax_class_id'])));

    $col ++;
    if ($col > 2) {
      $col = 0;
      $row ++;
    }
   } // end for ($x = 0; $x < $no_of_new_products; $x++)
 } //  end if (($no_of_new_products = tep_db_num_rows($new_products_query)) > 0)
  new contentBox($box_content);

and specifically here is the hardcode

$col ++;
    if ($col > 2) {
      $col = 0;
      $row ++;

Thanks for the reply. I was finally able to figure it out thanks to you. I greatly appreciate your help. When pouring over all the code, I sometimes get lost in the great abyss - lol.
