Results in a 3 column table

[jodancer]

Hi,

I'm quite new to this and I'm trying to get this to line up in a table with 3 columns (unlimited rows)

I have searched and tried but I'm not having any luck.

 

Can any one help?

Thank you

 

<?php 
echo '<div class="resultados_sub_cat">';

foreach($this->subcats as $key => $subcat) {

$subcat->link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=classcliff&view=list&catid='.$subcat->id."&Itemid=".$this->Itemid);
if ($key != 0)
	echo ' - ';
echo '<a href="'.$subcat->link.'">'.$subcat->name.'</a>';

} 
?>

untested, but should be close:

<?php 
echo '<div class="resultados_sub_cat">';
$colCount = 0;
echo "<table>";
foreach($this->subcats as $key => $subcat) {
if($colCount == 3){
          echo "</tr>";
          $colCount = 0
         }
        if($colCount == 0){echo "<tr><td>";}
        else {echo "<td>";}
$subcat->link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=classcliff&view=list&catid='.$subcat->id."&Itemid=".$this->Itemid);
if ($key != 0)
	echo ' - ';
echo '<a href="'.$subcat->link.'">'.$subcat->name.'</a></td>';
     $colCount = $colCount++;	
} 
echo "</table>";

<?php

$colCount = 0;
echo "<table>";
foreach($this->subcats as $key => $subcat) {

Thanks!

 

No error now but I only have one column ?

[Muddy_Funster]

try moving this:

    $colCount = $colCount++;

down a line so it is after that } which is directly under it just now

No luck unfortunately

Many hours later and I still can't get it into 3 columns, just one long column  :'(

 

Can any of you experts help?

 

Thanks

Posting your current code would help.

 

Edit: BTW - you need logic after the end of your loop that completes any partial last row.

<?php

$num_col = 3;
$col = 0;

echo '<div class="resultados_sub_cat">';
echo "<table>";

foreach($this->subcats as $key => $subcat) {
// start a new row
if($col == 0){
	echo "<tr>";
}

$subcat->link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=classcliff&view=list&catid='.$subcat->id."&Itemid=".$this->Itemid);
//if ($key != 0)
	//echo ' - ';
echo '<td><a href="'.$subcat->link.'">'.$subcat->name.'</a></td>';

$col++; // count the column you just output
if($col >= $num_col){
	echo "</tr>\n"; // end the row
	$col = 0; // reset counter
}
}
// finish any partial last row
if($col !== 0){
while($col < $num_col){
	echo "<td> </td>";
	$col++;
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>

Have a great day
