LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF COLUMNS IN A MULTI ROW IMAGE DISPLAY - Feb 9th, 2013


The table example above is fine for a single row of images or information that you want to wrap every x columns. If you
want to set up sets of rows that you want to wrap, you’ll have to wrap your table inside a table. Here’s a 2 row
example using the thumbnail2 image as a link to a detail page, separate Title and Subtitle fields, a hidden border for
IE  and a fixed height for the image cell so that everything lines up nicely.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td align="center" >
<tr>
<?php foreach ($your_sectionRecords as $record): ?><?php foreach ($record['image'] as $upload): ?>
<td align="center" width="50%">
<table>
<tr>
<td height="350" valign="bottom"><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath2']
?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth2'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight2'] ?>" alt=""
style="border:hidden" /></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td ><div align="center" class="medium-title"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></div>
<div align="center" class="medium-text"><?php echo $record['sub_title'] ?></div></td></tr></table>
</td>
<?php $maxCols=2; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?> <?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
</table>

Again, Use your own variable names instead of $your_sectionRecord, but the inserted code can stay the same.

*** If you’re going to use that little code snippet multiple times on the same page, just use a different variable
instead of $count or it will remember the count from the last section and increment that.

Instead of this:

<?php $maxCols=5; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>

Use these:

<?php $maxCols=5; if (@++$count1 % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>

<?php $maxCols=5; if (@++$count2 % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>

<?php $maxCols=5; if (@++$count3 % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>
