Hi Jacgo,
Two good questions and both easy to implement with CMS Builder.
There are a number of specific recipes in my CMSB Cookbook [utl]http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com that address both of of your questions and offer some variations on the theme.
To limit the amount of images on the page to 16 you can use this concept which counts the number of image records that are displayed by the foreach loop and when the number is greater than 15 the "break" stops the loop:
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($record['gallery_images'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?PHP echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>" width="<?PHP echo $upload['thumbWidth'] ?>" height="<?PHP echo $upload['thumbHeight'] ?>" alt="" />
<?php if (++$count > 15) { break; } ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
There's also a recipe for implementing a function that will display a next page of images when the number is exceeded.
Here's a sample recipe regarding the column question:
LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF COLUMNS IN A SINGLE ROW IMAGE DISPLAY
The CSS way is to have each image in a div that has something like: style="float: left; width: 200px". This will make them flow from left to right and wrap when they run out of space (you can put them inside a bigger fixed width container).
Or with a table you can have one table cell per image and insert a closing and opening TR every X images. Here's a code snippet that does that:
<?php $maxCols=4; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>
Here’s a single row example using the thumbnail2 image as a link to a detail page, separate Title and Subtitle fields, a hidden border for IE and a fixed height for the image cell so that everything lines up nicely.
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<?php foreach ($your_sectionRecords as $record): ?><?php foreach ($record['image'] as $upload): ?>
<td align=”center” height="350" valign="bottom">
<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath2'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth2'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight2'] ?>" alt="" style="border:hidden" /><br /><div align="center" class="medium-title"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></div>
<div align="center" class="medium-text"><?php echo $record['sub_title'] ?></div></a>
</td>
<?php $maxCols=2; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?><?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<?PHP foreach ($yourrecords as $record): ?>
<td>
<?PHP echo $record['your_content'] ?><br />
</td>
<?PHP $maxCols=2; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr><tr><?PHP endif; ?>
<?PHP endforeach; ?>
</tr>
</table>
Hop this helps,
