Playing with column numbers?

[Wezza007]

Hi There,

I'm still trying to configure my search results to come up exactly as I'd like them.

I'm experimenting with making it so that only page links show, not the actual products. To do this I've created an over-ride template for both page links and product links. In the product links, I've set:

[-- DEFINE PRODUCT --]

<!-- no link html here -->

[-- END_DEFINE PRODUCT --]

This means that there is no output for products and I only get page links! The only problem is setting the column numbers. I use the tag:

[-- LOOP SEARCH 3 --]
<td align="left" valign="top">
[-- SEARCHRESULT --]
</td>
[-- END_LOOP SEARCH--]

This should give me 3 columns, but the problem is that Shopsite still recognises that there is a product (even though I don't let it appear) and still counts it as a record. So it closes the column and starts a new one. So this means I get a blank column, then a page link, then a blank column, followed by the next line which has a page link, blank column, then another page link... this is repeated for the number of results.

So what I'm wondering is, can I put in my [-- DEFINE PRODUCT --] area to reduce the column count? Eg:

[-- DEFINE PRODUCT --]

<!-- no link html here -->

Something like Column Record Number = (-1)

[-- END_DEFINE PRODUCT --]


I'm not sure this would work either as it would just mean I'd have 5 or 6 columns on each line (2 or 3 would be empty).

Any ideas?
