How to display objects in a row

[LexHammer]

I have 7 codes that i want to display in a row one next to another.

The first is {$ads->ads_display('1')}, the second {$ads->ads_display('2')} and so on...

They appear one under the other. I want them to appear like this: @ @ @ @ @ @

 

Can you pls give me the code that i need for that...

[Adam]

echo $ads->ads_display('1') . $ads->ads_display('2') . $ads->ads_display('3') . $ads->ads_display('4') . $ads->ads_display('5') . $ads->ads_display('6') . $ads->ads_display('7');

 

???

[Deoctor]

or else u can also use this

for($i=1;$i<=7;$i++)
{
echo $ads->ads_display('$i');
}

[LexHammer]

Sorry guys, but i forgot to say that its for tpl file, not for php...

What will be the code for tpl?

[Adam]

I assume you mean for SMARTY? Then you pretty much have the code..

 

{$ads->ads_display('1')} {$ads->ads_display('2')} {$ads->ads_display('3')} {$ads->ads_display('4')} {$ads->ads_display('5')} {$ads->ads_display('6')} {$ads->ads_display('7')}

[LexHammer]

Yes, SMARTY. With that code, they are displayed in a column. I dont want that! I need them to be displayed in a row.

Your "ads_display" method could be appending a '<br />' to the return value, or wrapping it within a block element. Can't say for sure without seeing the code though..

[LexHammer]

This is the code for the ads_display. Its jut showing small picture with redirect url

 

<div>
<div Xstyle='float:left'>
<a href='http://www.****.com/***/'>
<img src=http://www.****.com/./uploads_user/1000/2/0_4230.jpg width=50 border=0>
</a>
</div>
<div></div>
</div>

[Adam]

Well by default DIVs are block elements that will appear on a new line. Look at your code..

 

<div>
<div Xstyle='float:left'>
<a href='http://www.****.com/***/'>
<img src=http://www.****.com/./uploads_user/1000/2/0_4230.jpg width=50 border=0>
</a>
</div>
<div></div>
</div>

 

They're each obviously going to appear on a new line. I think you were on the right track before with the "float:left"; though I'm not sure why there's an "X" before the style attribute? Because there's a parent DIV to the floated DIV though, you're still going to end up with each block on a new line. Float the most parent DIV of each block of code basically.

 

<div style="float: left;">
    <a href='http://www.****.com/***/'>
        <img src=http://www.****.com/./uploads_user/1000/2/0_4230.jpg width=50 border=0>
    </a>
</div>

 

Give that a try, stripped out some of the useless code. You'll probably need to use "clear: both" after.

 

Just to add though, is there any need for them to be wrapped within a div?

[LexHammer]

I used your code, but no change at all, they are still in a column Just to tell you, that i have very low php skills so dont ask me to do anything:) I just can copy paste the code you give me and adjust it with my content...

What about if the ads_display codes are inserted itno in a table?

[Adam]

Heh noo, don't use tables. As I said before is there any special reason why these images need to be wrapped in a div? Styling purposes or anything? If not just remove it so you just have the image:

 

<a href='http://www.****.com/***/'>
    <img src=http://www.****.com/./uploads_user/1000/2/0_4230.jpg width=50 border=0>
</a>

[LexHammer]

I removed the div and still no change... Just a little  change in the possition of the upper add.

[Adam]

Can you post more code? No reason why, if that's all 'ads_display()' returns, that they should be displayed one per line..

[LexHammer]

This is the code... No other code. Just the $ads->ads_display('1') or 2-3-4 and the code for the ads_display...

Isnt there any other way to make them appear in row...

[LexHammer]

Anybody?

[Adam]

As I said, can you show more code -- that creates and returns the HTML?

[LexHammer]

I dont know what else to show you... this is all i got.  The div was because of an option that can have text comment for the ad, but no need of that.

 

Here is the row code without the div.

 

<a href='[userprofile]'>

<img src=[userphoto] width=[userphotowidth] border=0>

</a>

 

That will display the user's photo on the top of the page and when somebody click on it, he will be redirected to the profile.

 

I think that making the pictures in a table with 10 pictures/row will be good if there is no other way now...

[LexHammer]

I made it with a table... With border 0 its exactly what i wanted. 

If you or anybody else cant come up with something else, the table is ok for me...
