Equal section link widths

[graphicz]

In a standard sub section list layout the column count is <actinic:variable name="SectionLinkColumnCount" />, each column is preceded by <td valign="top">

Thus far if I want three columns of equal width I have to replace <actinic:variable name="SectionLinkColumnCount" /> with figure 3 and put <td valign="top" width="33%">

If I want two columns of equal width I have to replace <actinic:variable name="SectionLinkColumnCount" /> with figure 2 and put <td valign="top" width="50%">

and so forth...

Is there some wizardry that will convert <actinic:variable name="SectionLinkColumnCount" /> into the respective percentage width for the <td> ?

There is something from Norman in a similar vein relating to brochure fragments in columns (http://community.sellerdeck.com/showthread.php?t=6040).

Thank you

You could use Javascript. A different method is blockifs for widths in the td.

Thanks Louise. That's probably the best. I'm still hoping a JavaScript wiz might chip in!

<actinic:block php="true">echo floor(100 / <actinic:variable name="SectionLinkColumnCount" selectable="false" />);</actinic:block>

Will return 25, 33, 50 or 100 depending on whether SectionLinkColumnCount is 4, 3, 2 or 1 respectively. And work for all other values too.

And, of course, you could do it without PHP using a bundle if BlockIf's; one for each expected value as Louise suggests.

Wondrous! Thank you Norman.

Open layout code Standard Sub Section List and click 'Click here to edit list'

Change the several instances of <td valign="top"> to:

<td valign="top" width="<actinic:block php="true">echo floor(100 / <actinic:variable name="SectionLinkColumnCount" selectable="false" />);</actinic:block>%">
