Shoppers can choose how many products are displayed on a product listing page.
To activate this feature you need to go to the WSM and under ‘Settings’ look for the word ‘matches’. Two options will appear. Using the option Display a dropdown that allows shoppers to change number of matches per page you can select the numbers you want to appear in the dropdown – you can insert as many values as you like.
The option Change number of matches per page specifies the default value for the dropdown.
Once a shopper has chosen their preferred value, it is retained until they change it again, or the session has timed out.
To include the drop-down directly you need to add this NitroScript variable:
{ns:includeDropdownItemsPerPage}
If you prefer to create your own drop-down you can use these nitroscript variables:
-
{numberitemspage}Array that contains all the possible dropdown numbers. You need to use a{foreach}to iterate over it. -
{ns:ItemPerPageShopper}This will contain shopper’s choice. -
{ns:DefaultMatchesPerPage}Default value chosen in the WSM under the option ‘Change number of matches per page’
Example:
{if (pageproperty['pageid'] ne 'search')}
<span id="productsperpage">Show: {ns:includeDropdownItemsPerPage}</span>
{endif}
