This is fine for a 3 column layout. If you creating a custom layout, however, you may need to change the number of columns (or Column Count). This is how you do it.

In the catalog.xml file in your skin’s Layout folder look for this line:

<block type=”catalog/product_list_upsell” name=”product.info.upsell” as=”upsell_products” template=”catalog/product/list/upsell.phtml”>

Copy the line below it:

<action method=”setColumnCount”><columns>4</columns></action>

In these sections in catalog.xml:

<!– Category default layout –>
<!– Category layered navigation layout –>

Look for the following and paste your copied line AFTER it:

<block type=”catalog/product_list” name=”product_list” template=”catalog/product/list.phtml”>

And that’s it!

Obviously, if you want 5 columns, change the number between the <columns> tags.

Then, why does Magento eCommerce select the “Ship to different address” option as default!? Here is a way to fix it and make Magento to select “Ship to this address” by default.

Magento FIX :

Copy app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Billing.php to app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Billing.php. This ensures that you do not end up messing with Magento’s core files.

Nagivate to the function

public function isUseBillingAddressForShipping()
{
if (($this->getQuote()->getIsVirtual()) || !$this->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getSameAsBilling())
{
return false;
}
return true;
}

Swap around the returns “false” and “true”

public function isUseBillingAddressForShipping()
{
if (($this->getQuote()->getIsVirtual()) || !$this->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getSameAsBilling())
{
return true;
}
return false;
}

That’s a good fix. Enjoy working with Magento eCommerce!

This problem arises when using the Twenty Ten theme or a theme designed using the Twenty Ten theme in conjunction with the All in One SEO Pack plugin. If you have set the configuration to not display the Blog Title as follows, the title function causes the above problem.

The Fix

Open the functions.php from the Twenty Ten (or your modified) theme directory. Go to line 262 (approx) and comment out the following line of code.

add_filter( ‘wp_title’, ‘twentyten_filter_wp_title’, 10, 2 );

WordPress 3.0 is awesome!

Solution

<input type="image" src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('add-to-basket.png') ?>"

name="image-button" onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit(); return false;" />

Notice the return false; that I’ve added after the productAddToCartForm.submit().

This will fix the problem of IE submitting the add to cart button twice.

Update (Thanks Barcaro) :
File where edit is to be made…
app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml
(change /default/default/ to your custom template path).
