Re: Multiple collums for links... In reply to
I just worked this out for a new mod (picture post).

Unfortunately, it's on company time, so I can't just release it. I'm trying to see if they'll go for the 'shareware' concept, and rely on the honesty of strangers... but for now it's not.

It's a hard-coded modification (not a plug-in) that changes a line in the build files, and adds 1 or two subroutines. You can have single template files, or double template files:

example:

You want to just insert a self contained "link" nugget in a table in the order of:

Code:
[table]
[row]
[link] [link] [link]
[end row]
[end table]
if you want to have a "header" and a "body" in the link, and want the rows to line up, such as:


Code:
[table]
[row]
[link1_header] [link2_header] [link3_header]
[end row]
[row]
[link1_body] [link2_body] [link3_body]
[end row]
[end table]
You set the "split" to true, and you use two links templates, and it allows the header to line up, and the bodies to line up, each row, so the formatting is "even" unlink the "categories" listings where descriptions or wrapping can cause one column to be out of sync with the other.

If this isn't clear, and you are interested in the mod, let me know, and I can set up an example. If you are not really interested in the mod, then in a few days I'll have a demo site up for the picture-gallery, where all this will be evident.

For reference ... how about $25 for this mod? It should be portable through links versions, since it hijacks a function call and wraps it in a subroutine (which means I _might_ be able to make it a plug-in down the line, once that is all set in stone).

If you are running "stock" links NG, I can send you the files you just copy over your existing ones. If you are running a modified version (already) I'll send instructions.

As I said, it's on company time, so I have to treat it differently than my usual stuff.
