related in columns

[pinbrook]

I've got my related products in columns, but i need to add a first column, with text only

see attached image, the text "you may also like, should be in col1 then 4 related items in cols 2,3,4,5

I've gone to edit list layout settings

got 5 in middle row (no of items)


first item <td width="120">YOU MAY ALSO LIKE

but it don't work

Any idea Buds?

can we use Thumbnail in related items?

Actinic is always gonna add an image into the column, i think your simplest solution is to create a product image of the text you want to use and add it as a dummy product. Either that or strip the list layout setting, add your own table and the first column and then get the Actinic layout to just do the add the 4 columns next to it.

nested tables is the solution!!

Not if you wrap the image in a blockif and use LISTINDEX >= 2

Nested tables are NEVER the solution

Other than the above blockif test you could also strip the table code altogether and simply float each item as a block ... you can then insert your own <div> at the start of the list to introduce your text.
