Number of displayed products per page

Where you can set the number of images displayed per page? Thank you.

What type of images?
For More information page images you can set the maximum number on Preferences > Extra Fields.

Other than that all the other screens are limited to the images that are on the configuration for that type of page, i.e. Pages have Banner Graphic, Link Graphic, Back ground graphic, similar settings for registration, shopping cart etc.

You can also include the url to image in most text fields so you could put them in Text 1, Text 2, Text 3 on pages, or in the global Header, Footer etc.

I was talking about the images of products.
I will try that.
Thank you.

I was thinking about the products on the page. You know how you have products displayed on the page? In my case I have 3 in the row... is there a setting to set the number of displayed images on the page (not more info page)... e.g 12 per page or 15 per page.

So you are talking about the number of products assigned to the page, not just images?

ShopSite Pro has a Pagination feature found on Pages > select a page > Edit Page layout. At the bottom of the screen is the Pagination section which allows you to select how many products will display on a published page. If more products are assigned to the page than the number you set the products will be spread over however many pages it takes up until the Maximum number of pages for Pagination setting configured on the Utilities >Publish screen. If you have more products than will fit on the Maximum number of pages for Pagination value then each page will have the limit you set for the page and the final page will have all remaining products.

If you have a Manager or starter store you will have to create a number of pages and assign only the number of products you want on a page to each page. This isn't quite as user friendly but it isn't too hard to do. Switch to the Basic Editing mode by clicking on Pages and then clicking the Basic Editing button at the bottom of the screen. (If there isn't a basic editing button you are already in Basic Editing mode). You will see a list of pages with the number of products assigned to each page. Simply click the page name of the Page you want more products on and select the products from the list at the bottom of the screen. This can also be done in the Advanced editing mode by clicking the Assign Items > Products option and selecting the products from the bottom list and click the Add button to move them to the top box which shows the assigned products. There isn't an indication of how many products are assigned to the page this way, so you will have to count them manually.

I have ShopSite Manager. I want this (multiple pages of products listed) so I wouldn't have 50 products on one page and people having to scroll it down forever.
If I have to create new pages, then I will have to link them together (<1, 2, 3 >)? I guess I will have to write the code myself for this part. This seems so inconvenient... but yet it sounds like a simple feature to have. I don't know why ShopSite wouldn't include it in the Manager version.

Use the Copy Page function on the Pages screen to make as many copies of the page as you need for all the products. Call them MyPage 1, My Page 2, My page 3 etc so you can have them all next to each other in the list of pages.

Use the Assign Items function on the Pages screen to assign the Pages copies to each other and to a page that has links to other pages in the store.

Use the Assign Items function to on the Pages screen assign Products to the various Pages.

Not really as hard as it seems.

Jim, that sounds easy enough. Thank you for your help.
