Image Display - Columns?
|
Can't Post
|
|
In the useful Javascript threads... there's a script that will display listings side by side.
Does anyone have a way to make the images display in the ad like an ebay ad?
Such as this (bottom section of the ad):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2417949479&category=6168
Even if it has to pop up a window, that's fine... just the side by side display is what I'm looking for.
This display would be ideal. Having the images display all in one column is kind of monotonous.
Thanks,
Scott

Hey Scott...
Sometimes I feel like we are beating a dead horse with all these tweaks when the MySQL version could do it with its eyes closed..easily...
this last client....1000Cars.com
Is asking for way more than I can do with AM and he is even thinking about returning it...AFTER the site is done!!
Basically it comes down to some of us are using this as an auto portal and if you have a dealer that has 50+ cars it would really help to be able to add data from csv...INTERNALLY from AM not thru a 10 step process....plus having to upload each pic on top of that...
I will take a look at the ebay ad and modify it to work with AM for you.

Hey Dedbob,
It could be done with some rather heavy javascript, but it would take quite a bit of work to get going. But to be honest, having a MySQL wouldn't really help in this case... they're entirely independent with regard to thumbnail presentation and positioning.
Here's the problem: the _publish_listing.html template has a single templatecell for images. So somehow, you'll need to work with that to output two different things: one big image, and up to 10 smaller images in two columns. Not too easy...
If this is a dire need, post me back and I'll take a look at it for you. :-)

Thanks Ben and Joey for the help.
Actually, if you "align left" the cell directly around the image in the template, it will display the photos all in a horizontal row, which is close enough to what I need.
My only problem now is making it where if there are more than 5 images, they'll wrap (drop down and start another row) inside the cell instead of going all the way across the screen. I could do this with perl, but I just don't know very much about javascript.
If either of you could help with that, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes.... I've tried percentages, pixel width, borders... and nothing will make it wrap. It just stretches across the screen until the screen ultimately scrolls right. If I make a nested table... it just runs off the end of the table and cuts images off.
I'm sure it can be done with Javascript... I just have to figure it out.
Thanks for the help.

Well heck! I got it to work using the javascript from the _search_results_columns.html template that I referred to in my first post, but after reviewing it with different sized images and no images, it really doesn't look that hot.
Columns seem to be the best way to go because if someone were to post a tall photo, it'd seriously distort the page (I tested it and ACK!). If I were the only one that would be posting photos and they would all be the same size, it'd work great, but this is not the case.
Well... at least I got the horizontal display to work, even if I don't use it  .
Thanks for all the help!

Hi there!
Thanks for your post. :)
You may want to try Ben's column javascript for getting Realty Manager to display search results in columns. Take a look at the following post for more details:
http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=10297#10297
Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. :)

Here is the file I came up with for that type of display (thanks to interactivetools for the javascript code). You can most likely customize it from here because I've stripped out everything but the bare essentials.
You need to keep in mind that if the images are not the same height, the display won't look so good, at least in my opinion.
You can resize the photo display to give you 1 row of 4 like your photo, or you can do it however you want.
Hope this helps you or someone else looking for this kind of display.
Thanks!
Scott
