I want to show 4 products in one row on my Magento site. I tried some tricks but it doesn’t work..

I set this in list.phtml

<?php $_columnCount = 4; ?>

but nothing..

I also put this in catalog.xml 

<action method="setColumnCount"><count>4</count></action>

Here is my list.phtml and my catalog.xml

This is my screenshot:

You can set the column count through the layout XML. I'm guessing your homepage is a CMS page so the block was probably added in the Design tab under Layout Update XML.

The XML syntax should look something like this for adding the list and setting the column count.

[...]
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
    <action method="setColumnCount"><count>4</count></action>
</block>
[...]

  • ah ok, you've added it through the content editor in that case. If you print $this->getColumnCount(); in the list.phtml what do you get on the homepage?

You have everything doubled in this template, as it is used for two cases. you have set it for the wrong, there should be a second where you could set it and it has effect.
