[/showif] [/founditems]
[/search]This will create a four-items-per-row table. Each cell will contain a two-row, smaller table with a picture and a description for each item, along with a price. I used 00 simply as a spacer. Just make sure that the spacer font color matches the background.I also named each item's image based on the sku number. This simplified image management.I worked on this like a rat in a maze - I even tried creating temporary databases to hold row information so the server would grind away at the hard drive when even one visitor hit the site.The miracle command which was undocumented at the time is:[showif [index]\4] [/showif]This thing of beauty terminates a table row everytime the number of found items is divisible by four.Good luck!
