list arrangement

[enzo2016]

Hello,
I would like to organize the fields of a list (showing for example 4 fields) into a table like the following:

First record:
field 1 field 2
field3 field 4

Second record:
field 1 field 2
field 3 field 4



and so on for the next records.
How could I do that?

Thanks

Enzo

You can copy the 'div' template and customize that.

Thanks for the tip Hugh. I have read the procedure for customizing the template, but I had some difficulties for the layout code. I am attaching the snapshot about the layout I thought. No particular color as background, font or into the cells. The most important thing are only two: fields into cells and a distance between a record and the next one.

Thanks

Enzo

We can't do template customizing as part of subscription support.

I think I will need the template customizing, but before buying it, I would prefer to make an attempt for learning. Please could you advise some resources where to learn to write the code for template? ... Tutorials, websites...

Thanks

Thank you very much, the div template is really perfect. Only a question:
When I set the number of columns in default.php, the list shows a record for every columns (e.g.: if I set 4 columns, then 4 records are shown in the first "row"). Would it be possible to have a column for every element (by using the div template style)? I like the div template style, but it is showing the elements only in 1 column (that is an element per row). Would it be possible for example to arrange 2 elements per row?

Thanks

You can customize default_row.php as you need.

Thanks for the link. I have added the following code in different positions (into default_row.php):

$this->_row->data->country___region //replace 'tablename___elementname' with your element's full name
<?php echo $this->_row->data->table-name___element_name;?>

but it is always returning:
Notice: Undefined property:stdClass::$table in ...........
Notice: Use of undefined costant name___element_name - assumed 'name___element_name' in ........


I think to know the meaning about listid and formid, but not sure about rowid and itemid.
I don't undestand the meaning of [cursor], [total], [slug] and [___pk_val]
Are they needed in order to let "know" to the template the position (such as row 3 and column 2) for example of 'table1___element1'?

Thanks

Enzo

As I said ...

We can't do template customizing as part of subscription support.

... which includes trying to teach you how to do it. Customizing templates requires a working knowledge of PHP, and some basic knowledge of how Fabrik templates work. If you don't have that knowledge, it's difficult for us to help.

That said ...

<?php echo $this->_row->data->country___region; ?>
