Change default columns in Drupal grid view

I’ve been working with Drupal templates these past weeks and I needed to make a photogallery.

I found a great resource for doing it following this nice video. But because of the space available in my template’s design, I needed 3 columns intstead of the default 4 on my grid view.

So what I had to change to do that, is in the modules/views_bonus_grid.module and on line 20, you change:

// set default count.
$cols = $view->gridcount ? $view->gridcount : 4;

with:


// set default count.
$cols = $view->gridcount ? $view->gridcount : 3;

Place whatever number you want, and there you have it.

I know that editing the module itself is not the best way to do it. But it works and its the quickest way to get it done.
