  • Assigned user changed from “expNinja” to “dleffler”
  • Milestone set to “User issues”

  Are you referring to the main showall view. Should be easy enough with css & smarty.

  • in a stylesheet or a style within the view
    • create a div associated style to 50% or whatever
  • in the view
    • immediately before the {foreach from=$cats key=catid item=cat} or {foreach name=items from=$items item=item} place the new div with the class
    • immediately after the closing {/foreach} for the above, place the closing div tag
    • immediately after the opening {foreach} above place this code

      {if $cats@iteration > count($cats)/2}
      </div>
      <div class="2col-class">
      {/if}
      

  I've not tested the above. And keep in mind that in both the showall.tpl and showall_quicklinks.tpl we have TWO routines based on whether or not 'use_categories' is set.

  Like this?
  

        <div class="links2">
              {foreach name=items from=$items item=item name=links}
              {if $cats@iteration > count($cats)/2}
  </div>
  <div class="2col-class">
  {/if}
                  <li class="item{if $smarty.foreach.links.last} last{/if}">
                      <a class="link{if !empty($config.websnapr_key)} websnapr{/if}" {if $item->new_window}target="_blank"{/if} href="{$item->url}" title="{$item->body|summarize:"html":"para"}">{$item->title}</a>
                      {permissions}
                          <div class="item-actions">
                              {if $permissions.edit || ($permissions.create && $item->poster == $user->id)}
                                  {if $myloc != $item->location_data}
                                      {if $permissions.manage}
                                          {icon img='arrow_merge.png' action=merge id=$item->id title="Merge Aggregated Content"|gettext}
                                      {else}
                                          {icon img='arrow_merge.png' title="Merged Content"|gettext}
                                      {/if}
                                  {/if}
                                  {icon action=edit text='notext' record=$item}
                              {/if}
                              {if $permissions.delete || ($permissions.create && $item->poster == $user->id)}
                                  {icon action=delete text='notext' record=$item}
                              {/if}
                          </div>
                      {/permissions}
                  </li>
              {/foreach}
              </div>
  

  Then in my stylesheet I added
  

  .links2 { width: 50%;}
  .2col-class {float:right;}
  

  That didn't change anything.

  I’ll work up an example at home a little later…I noticed the logic is bad, after the mid-point is reached, it adds the divs for every item thereafter (doh!)

  Ok, I see you are using the quicklinks which is an unordered list 'ul' so the div's don't do anything...working on a sample

  The easiest solution for a 2 column unordered list 'ul' is found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17005407/creating-a-two-column-u... with an example here http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/4PdQw/

  It only requires adding a class ( class="two-col-special") to the opening 'ul' and then adding the styles (to the theme styles?)...you might want to change/remove the 'content' if you want/don't want a 'bullet'

  That example helped. I removed the following code from the 'li' on line 83 of showall_quicklinks.tpl, after moving the file into the appropriate folder in my theme.
  

  class="item{if $smarty.foreach.links.last} last{/if}"
  

  and added

  class="two-col-special"
  

  to the 'ul' on line 81.

  Now its working like I wanted. I guess I should have done more Googling. :)
