Contents-format variable

Learn how to control how product contents are displayed on Category (section) pages.

Article ID: SLN18623

This variable determines how product contents (Image, name, price, etc.) are displayed on Category (section) pages. You can select the following layouts for contents:

  • Vertical - page elements for contents display in a single column (see Figure 1)
  • Ell - page elements for contents displayed in 2 columns with Image appearing in one column and other page elements (name, price, etc) displayed in the other (see Figure 2)
  • Wrap - page elements for contents display in 2 columns, but if the page elements take up more space than the Image, the contents will wrap below the image.
  • Pack - (feature retired in Editor 3.0): shows only the product images or icons at their actual size, and joins them together to simulate an imagemap.

Note: Managing Contents-format is not an option in default Theme Manager-based themes.
