Product Result Page (left to right, instead of up to down)

Product Result Page (left to right, instead of up to down)

How can I create a product result page that the listings go horizontal (left to right), instead of the current format (up to down).

Example:

Product Name #1 --------> Product Name #2 ------------> Product Name #3
Vendor -----------------> Vendor ---------------------> Vendor
Price -------------------> Price -----------------------> Price

I tried using the repeating table, but each product listing was identical. Each column was identical.

Thanks for your time,
Craig

Move your repeat code

from

<?php do { ?>
<tr class="<?php echo $WARRT_AltClass1->getClass(true); ?>">



to

<tr class="<?php echo $WARRT_AltClass1->getClass(true); ?>">
<?php do { ?>



And at the end of the repeat

From

</tr>
<?php } while ($row_WADAYOURRecordset = mysql_fetch_assoc($WADAYOURRecordset )); ?>



To

<?php } while ($row_WADAYOURRecordset =  mysql_fetch_assoc($WADAYOURRecordset )); ?>
</tr>



Hope this helps let us know :D

Actually, the syntax you posted is not on my pages. How frustrating.

Easiest way is to go to the DataAssist Wizard.

Select results page (only) in step 1

On step 3 of the wizard, choose page type as public (not administrative)
This then allows you to show recordset paging as x rows and y columns

This makes sense but if there should be 3 columns what is repeating the <tr> tags? I get the columns but they go from left to right and don't drop to another row after 3.

For 5 items it should display as:
X X X
X X

With this code shift it is now:
X X X X X

Any thoughts? Anyone?

I suspected something was wrong in the generation of code and ordering of table tags. I was right.

I created a test page with just a recordset calling up one title field. I used the Repeating Table wizard and was able to generate the code successfully. I compared this code to the one on the more complex page I am designing to see where it went wrong. It had put the table tag inside the "do" tag. It also had the Alternate content code outside of the "do" loop.

I am all set now, except still baffled why it generated the code improperly!
