[xmlrookie]

hello people, anyone knows how to make this thing align in column style? thanks

 

<?php

if (sizeof($featured_products_array) <> '0') {

for($i=0; $i<sizeof($featured_products_array); $i++) {

if ($featured_products_array[$i]['specials_price']) {

$products_price = '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($featured_products_array[$i]['price'], tep_get_tax_rate($featured_products_array[$i]['tax_class_id'])) . '</s>  <span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($featured_products_array[$i]['specials_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($featured_products_array[$i]['tax_class_id'])) . '</span>';

} else {

$products_price = $currencies->display_price($featured_products_array[$i]['price'], tep_get_tax_rate($featured_products_array[$i]['tax_class_id']));

}

From the code I gave you, which you have created this from, you could have implemented featured products 1.3 and then set columns to 3 in that contribution.

 

This would then ahve given you the result you want.

 

CC.

 

P.S. - No one but me will know what you are talking about from that description of your question, it is too vague.

[dreamscape]

CC, this is from cieto featured products v1.5..

 

I can tell from my bit about if shortdescription == nothing...

 

 

xmlrookie, give me a few minutes and I will post the code for columns.

Hi Joshua

 

I know it is cieto's mod.

 

I gave the code to rookie that I use for my own description mod, which is partly based on featured products 1.3.

Thats the reason I gave my post.

 

Hope you can help him.

I have never used cieto's mod before, so I wont hazard a guess.

 

CC.

[dreamscape]

yeah after re-reading I see thats what you said... 1st time I read it I thought you said what he posted looked like v1.3... my bad...

 

xmlrookie,

 

here is code for columns:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<tr>

<?php 

 if (sizeof($featured_products_array) <> '0') {

  $col = 0;

   for($i=0; $i<sizeof($featured_products_array); $i++) {

     if ($featured_products_array[$i]['specials_price']) {

       $products_price = '<s>' .  $currencies->display_price($featured_products_array[$i]['price'], tep_get_tax_rate($featured_products_array[$i]['tax_class_id'])) . '</s>  <span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($featured_products_array[$i]['specials_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($featured_products_array[$i]['tax_class_id'])) . '</span>'; 

     } else {

       $products_price = $currencies->display_price($featured_products_array[$i]['price'], tep_get_tax_rate($featured_products_array[$i]['tax_class_id']));

     }

  $col++;

?> 

<td width="50%" valign="top" align="center">

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

</div></td> 

</tr> 

<tr> 

<td valign="top" class="main"> 

<?php

 if ($featured_products_array[$i]['shortdescription'] != '') { 

     echo $featured_products_array[$i]['shortdescription'];

 } else { 

$bah = explode(" ", $featured_products_array[$i]['description']);

for($desc=0; $desc<25; $desc++)

 {

 echo "$bah[$desc] ";

 }

 echo '. . .';

 }

</tr>

</table>

</td>

<?php

     if ((($col / 2) == floor($col / 2))) {

?>

<tr> 

<td colspan="2" align="right" valign="top" class="main"><hr width="100%" size="1" noshade color="#5e7ebf"></td>

   }

 }

?>

</table>

 

the columns are set at 2 right now... towards in the bottom the line:

      if ((($col / 2) == floor($col / 2))) {

the 2's are how many columns... change them to 3 and you get 3 columns, 4 you get 4 columns, etcc... at any time you can set at 1 and go back to the standard "cieto" layout as well...

[xmlrookie]

[emiliano]
