multiple columns on tpl page

[Bamarama]

Hello all.

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this question or not. If not, by all means steer me in the right direction please.

Also, sorry for cross-posting.... I did not see how to delete off the other forum.

 

 

I am making a variation on a game that uses PHP and tpl files.

 

My question is this: How can I make my DB rows have 2 or more columns rather than the standard on the tpl page.

 

Here is the code on the tpl page:

 

{block name="title" prepend}{$LNG.lm_buildings}{/block}
{block name="content"}
{if !empty($Queue)}
<div id="buildlist" class="buildlist">
<table style="width:760px">
{foreach $Queue as $List}
{$ID = $List.element}
<tr>
<td style="width:70%;vertical-align:top;" class="left">
{$List@iteration}.: 
{if !($isBusy.research && ($ID == 6 || $ID == 31)) && !($isBusy.shipyard && ($ID == 15 || $ID == 21)) && $RoomIsOk && $CanBuildElement && $BuildInfoList[$ID].buyable}
<form class="build_form" action="game.php?page=buildings" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="insert">
<input type="hidden" name="building" value="{$ID}">
<button type="submit" class="build_submit onlist">{$LNG.tech.{$ID}} {$List.level}{if $List.destroy} {$LNG.bd_dismantle}{/if}</button>
</form>
{else}{$LNG.tech.{$ID}} {$List.level} {if $List.destroy}{$LNG.bd_dismantle}{/if}{/if}
{if $List@first}
<br><br><div id="progressbar" data-time="{$List.resttime}"></div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="time" data-time="{$List.time}"><br></div>
<form action="game.php?page=buildings" method="post" class="build_form">

Honestly that's way too much code for most of us to bother reading.

 

Are you asking how to create a table with two columns in HTML? Because that's all your tpl is, a wrapper for HTML. 

[Bamarama]

Well yes, basically. Sorry for the large amount of code but I was unsure of what would be needed..

 

I know that somewhere at the top is where things need to change. I just want these rows to show on multiple columns. It can be two or 3, depending on how it looks.

 

I know I need to set a $column variable somewhere and need to use this for the script, I just do not know where or how.

[Jessica]

Is that Smarty? The foreach syntax isn't what I've seen. 

[Bamarama]

Yes, smarty is used on this site.

[Bamarama]

I am guessing by your silence that this is not in your realm?

 

Can you point me towards someone who would know about this?

[Jessica]

You expect an answer immediately? Geez. 

 

I was going to find you the page on the Smarty site that covers it but now I'll just say go find it. 

[Bamarama]

I wasn't being smart. I was just saying that at first you responded quickly then asked about smarty, then silence.

 

Please do not think I was being demanding, as that was not my intention at all.

 

Any help you can provide would be most helpful.

[Bamarama]

Seriously. I did not mean bad by my comment.

[Jessica]

In any of the time that's passed did you bother to go look at Smarty's site?

[Jessica]

You just need to use % or use the Smarty table functionality.

[Bamarama]

I did look at the smarty pages. I am not sure how to incoorperate that with what I have. 

The smarty pages have their own section defining variables and all that before the page I have is even called. The smarty variables can be passed without defining them I should say. 

 

I am looking at the html_tables now and see if I can figure that out.  

 

 

Thanks for the direction
