How to Make Custom Featured Collection with 5 Products Per Row (Dawn)

hi,

I am trying to create a custom section that’s a featured collection with 5 products per row rather than 4. I solved a similar issue months ago in which I made a custom featured collection with 3 products per row, but unfortunately I am unable to replicate that solution again (I must be missing something).

I’ve already duplicated the section Featured-Collection.Liquid and renamed it and changed the corresponding schema info, as well as added the corresponding info to the en.default.schema.json in Locales. I did change the {% schema %} section to be:

“type”: “range”,
“id”: “products_to_show”,
“min”: 2,
“max”: 99,
“step”: 1,
“default”: 5,

because I wanted a higher max.

So far I’ve tried changing: “grid–4-col-desktop” to “grid–5-col-desktop” as well as changing “grid–one-third-max” to “grid–one-fifth-max” but those didn’t seem to work. I thought I remembered last time having to change width of 25% to 33% but I’m not sure where that is. I’ve looked around other similar questions/solutions and they seemed to be editing the base.css. Not sure if that’s correct.

I have noticed that when I set the product number to 2, it has 2 products each 50% wide. When I set it to 3 products, it has 3 products each 33% wide. When I set it to 4 products, there are 4 products each 25% wide. But when I set it to 5 products, it has a top row of 3 products, each 33% wide and a lower row of 2 products each 50% wide. And when I set it to any number 6 or higher, it has rows of 4 products (or less if it doesn’t fill up, but aligned to the left) each 25% wide. There has to be a simple way to achieve 5 products per row at 20% wide.

Right now I’ve got an exact duplicate of the original featured.collection.liquid but with a new name since the edits I’ve tried haven’t worked, so I’m patiently waiting for instructions on what exactly to edit in there.

All solutions are much appreciated! Thank you,

Jack

Hi @JackPElliott ,

It seems you know your stuff. Sometimes there is a set max-width. Try to do the code below. Add it to the base.css file

.collection .grid__item {
max-width: 100% !important
}

It’s still not working. If you were going to make a featured collection with 5 products per row, what would you do starting from scratch?
