Columns layout

On this page, ASA’s managed template “Columns_layout” is used. It is specialized for displaying multiple products in columns. It works perfectly with ASA 2 collections or smart collections. It is customizable in general and per shortcode.

Main features

• Specialized for rendering multiple products in columns

• Customizable without programming skills

Example

This first example is built with the following shortcode:

[asa2_smart_collection cat_slug="demo-products" limit="4" tpl="Columns_layout" orderby="rand" /]

Customization

On ASA 2’s admin page “Templates” you can customize the general options of template “Columns_layout“. These settings will effect every usage of this template.

Shortcode options

Besides the general settings, it is possible to overwrite template options per shortcode.

For example, to show 6 columns on large devices instead the generally configured amount, this shortcode would make the difference:

[asa2_smart_collection tpl="Columns_layout" cols_lg="6" cat_slug="demo-products" /]

Or to render 2 columns on extra small devices instead of the generally configured amount, use option “cols_sm”:

[asa2_smart_collection tpl="Columns_layout" cols_xs="2" cat_slug="demo-products" /]
