[SOLVED] I need help changing one column to 3 columns on my site index page

mildred · September 17, 2007

Hi, on my classifieds site, in the right hand column is a list of all U.S. states and many cities for each state. You have to scroll way too far and I would like to change this to 2 or 3 columns and possibly reduce the font. I can reduce the number of category columns in the middle to make more room on the right side and can do so from the admin but don't have a clue how to change the columns on the right side. Any help would be appreciated. I'm fair at html but I'm afraid to mess with any of these php pages. I'm not even entirely sure if this can be changed without crashing my site since I have a single user license for the site software and have no support from the seller. My site is http://hotdogclassifieds.com I haven't figured out all the ins and outs of the site, but if someone can help me with some minor mods, I'll be happy to give you lifetime free ads on the site. 7 days are free anyway but there are ad upgrades available that cost.

Here's the index.php file. Sorry there's no line breaks, which makes it hard to read.

what is it you need done?

mildred · September 17, 2007

I was wanting change the state and city list in the right hand column from one column to 3 and possibly reduce the font a bit to reduce the amount of scrolling necessary to find a city. Thanks.

   font-weight: bold;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   font-size: 3px;
   margin-top: 2px;
}

.citylist_city {
   color: #777777;
   font-size: 3px;
}

will make the text 3pixels sort of small

Sorry I had to disappear last night. This site went completely dead. Thanks for the font help. You're right, it was too small to read but I experimented a couple pixels at a time until I got it about right. What I really need is to change the state and city column to 3 columns instead of one. Thanks again.

what you could do is lookup a tree class menu and somehow get someone to help you with intergrating it into your script.

hopefully someone in here will take alook at your script and the link i posted and help ya out with making it an exandable menu so when you click on the state it will expand or collapase the cities.

mildred · September 18, 2007

An expandable menu would be great but that tutorial is way beyond php newbies like myself. There are several sites out there similar to mine that easily had 3 columns in the states/cities list and the one who wrote my script should have done it, but they don't want any feedback or suggestions or questions. It's just a turnkey site script and you'd think that when they saw what mine looked like after manually typing in all those cities, that they need to modify the script slightly. I'm still thinking that there might be a way of just changing some html somewhere and change it to 3 columns. I'll keep experimenting. Thanks for our help.

i would be happy to do it for you if it were more worth my time ???

Here's the index.php file. Sorry there's no line breaks, which makes it hard to read.

My advice - make it easy to read and someone might try to help.

darkfreaks · September 18, 2007

what ya could do is use javascript like put this in your header in index.php

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function switchMenu(obj) {
var el = document.getElementById(obj);
if ( el.style.display != "none" ) {
	el.style.display = 'none';
}
else {
	el.style.display = '';
}
}
//-->
</script>

also where it says

else $country_url = "?cityid=-$country[countryid]&lang=$xlang";

you need to put somehow onclick="switchMenu('myvar'); in that code where it urls the country this will minimize it when clicked which should minimize the cities.

That's just how the file looks when I view it or copy and paste it. Since I'm not an authority on php whatsoever, it would be impossible for me to know where to put line breaks to clean it up for you. Besides, there are already people who are trying to help, so I just won't count on YOUR help, but thanks for the comment.

Jumping into the world of php wasn't my plan. Got enough going on already. Would be a major chore learning php just to try to change one column to 3 when even the people here with php knowledge are stumped. I would be looking at months and months of study just to figure out how to do this one thing. Php does a lot of great things but I wish the site was just html. I could easily figure it out then.

It actually was a lot easier to read before WILDTEEN88 altered it. Now it's just one long continuous single line. Worse than ever.

Well it helps if has line breaks in it. That way it wont display as one continuous line. I am just enforcing the rules.
