Grid Style Listing of results Can't Post

Hi there,

First of all brilliant product and this is actually my second purchase/install. All work using your CMS Builder has been a dream and this is the first time I have got stuck! OK here goes....

I have installed a separate CMS Admin, running the Auto listings template. All is working great, however I am trying to make better use of the available space on my listings page. At the moment all results are listed one after the other, straight down the page. I have room for at least 2 or 3 going across before starting a new row, and thought it would be good to have a grid style listing of the results.

All your formatting is currently done using tables. I prefer to use DIVs for formatting and thought it would be easy to get it to format the results how I want, via CSS and DIVs.

However what I get is one div with the results showing one below the other, just as before. I have tried the code in various places but with no luck.

The cause seems to be the way PHP is outputting the information, and that I need to edit a different file than the listings.php file.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Thanks :)

Hi there!

Nope, everything is definitely coming from your listings file, there's no other location that formatting code comes from.

What we generally recommend is to get the layout the way you want it (with some dummy data) outside of CMS Builder. Once you've got that working, we can help you get the CMS Builder code into it so that it displays the way you want with the dynamic data. :)

Hi Donna,

I managed to get a grip on the divs working with the dynamic data. Knowing that I was in the right area helped to keep me going!

Thanks for the swift reply.
