Magento

After upgrade the New Products shows 4 colums grid.
I cant find a way to remove the empty column.

The code for The New Product new.phtml file is:
/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/new.phtml

But i cant figure out how to change the columns, anyone?

Have you tried

Logging into the Back end Administration

go >>System >> Configuration >> Catalog
I recall some grid configurations in there

Thanks but these grid settings are for product listing in catalog not the block on front page.
New Products is a separate block and i cant find a way to remove the extra column.

OK oldboy

I see your problem I think that phtml file is a red hearing.

Head into layout/calalog.xml kinda makes sense the directory is called Layout

When I look at the calalog.xml file i see this Below for some reason your pulling in the wrong hook
this is the Default Hook Call <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>three_columns</layout><count>3</count></action>

But you are pulling this hook
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_right</layout><count>4</count></action>

I reckon this could do it

although just an after thought is there some setting in the back end that is activating this 4 column hook call instead of the 3

Good Luck Let me know the outcome

Thanks again for trying.

My home page/front page is set to “2 columns with right bar “ in CMS/Pages

so changed the “two_columns_right” value to 3 in:
app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/catalog.xml

But it still shows 4 columns for New Products block on front page…

How does the php command in new.phtml get the column count?
<?php $_columnCount = $this->getColumnCount(); ?>

When I look at the image you provide I see a 3 column layout?

My home page/front page is set to “2 columns with right bar “ in CMS/Pages

How does the php command in new.phtml get the column count?
<?php $_columnCount = $this->getColumnCount(); ?>

I’m sure its pulling from the xml file

Now Have you disabled the cache in the back end

System >> Cache Management

Disable every thing and flush all your options have a good look around to make sure

also have gone into

CMS >> Home Page >> Design

Under lay out choose the layout for you

You will get there

Ok i funally found the way to get rid of the empty columns.

the width of grind have to be adjusted, so edit this line in styles.css:

.col2-right-layout .products-grid { width:475px; margin:0 auto; }

thanks very much, you solved my problem.

thank u very much oldboy!

for brazilians users:

conforme o oldboy explicou, para arrumar a largura da linha da grade quando são exibidos novos produtos na pánina inicial (home) do magento,
basta editar a largura da coluna no arquivo styles.css para 475px
