Search Results | Columns

[Classix]

Hi our search results page seems to have changed recently, it used to display 4 columns as a result, but recently it has started showing them up all on one row making the page incredibly large, is there a way to get the search result to show 3 columns?, which would suit my product images fine, but anymore would alter the page layout. I've search the forum already and seen that there is a plug-in from drillpine.biz, will that achieve my desired affect? here's a link from the site showing you how the search is behaving atm.

Wow that's a mess - you have a tag <Actinic:S_TABLEEND/> in between the table cells, never heard of it...

There is nothing to create table rows - looks like some code has been corrupted. Probably best to revert to factory layout and reapply the changes very, very carefully.

What are the main file(s) within that site1 folder that are responsible for the search in Actinic?

[wjcampbe]

You are probably looking at Act_ResultsTemplate.html, sorry - I missed the fact this is a v7 thread.

That sounds like my Multi Column Search Results patch. If you've updated or re-installed Actinic, then you'll have to re-do the patch.

The files you should be looking for are:

Act_ResultsTemplate.html

On a futher point you have some really invalid HTML going on in there e.g.

<td width="ALIGN=LEFT">

and

<td colspan="ALIGN=LEFT">

are wrong.
Colspan property should be numeric indication the number of columns a row cell should span.
Width property should be a numeric quantity in px,em or % e.g. 100% or 500px.

There are a few other issues in there too, but the above should definitely be addressed as they will directly impact on the layout of your HTML.

Well i've checked a back-up of that file from way before this bacame a problem and the code is exactly the same, as for the other errors in the code i'm none the wiser :S FrAz

Backup your Act_ResultsTemplate file that is in your Site1 folder then try replacing it with a copy from:
C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Formats\Themes\Business
and see if it helps.

EDIT: and then of course (as Norman rightly mentions) reapply the multi-column patch.

My post #5 above applies here. The V7 patch is on www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff

ahh using the business template of the Act_ResultsTemplate.html it seems to have sorted out the problem to some extent, i just need to alter the code slightly using this template and my original file, but it's an improvement. Thanks FrAz

Cheers Norman worked a treat, sorry i was unaware that the v7 patch was freeware, thought i was donationware, edited the code accordingly, but apart from that it's looking a million times better than it used too. Cheers guys for you help FrAz

It's donationware but I'm pretty sure you're one of the good guys who've donated.
