Was curious if it was possible to easily hack the extension to only show one row (by default it shows two rows of columns). I created a multitext field that will only use one row.

Mark, I’ve finally been able to test your extension and it’s as great as I expected. Nevertheless I ran into two small problems, I really hope you can help us out with this:

1. This is just a minor issue, but it seems that in the publish-section I can’t add any rows with Internet Explorer. As well as in IE6.x as in 7.0…
2. I use this extension to show a list of two columns in an index-template. Because there can be quite a lot of rows, I want our users to show only a list of 5 rows and then the option to continue to a detail-page where they can see all the rows. No matter what plugin I use to show a limited amount of characters/words I have the chance that your plugin will break the layout of my index page. Is it possible to create something like this for your extension:

<ul>
{members limit="5rows"}
<li><strong>{col_1}</strong>: {col_2}</li>
{/members}
</ul>

This way I can use any layout I want without worrying that it might break the overall layout.

Again thank you very much for this extension!!!

Ronny, you can now use limit= in the field, like you specified, just drop the “rows”. 

<ul>
{members limit="5"}
<li><strong>{col_1}</strong>: {col_2}</li>
{/members}
</ul>

The new version should also fix the IE problems some people were having (silly tbody).

Oh wow! I didn’t expect you to be able to fix this so quick. So thank you very much!! Our site will relaunch in a couple of months and I’ll donate some profit of the very first banners to you. Thank you!

Mark,

Is it possible to use multi-text multiple times? In other words have different multi-text ‘field groups’ in different places in the CP?  This extension looks fantastic and is perfect for the site I’m working on,  only problem is I need it in multiple places for different things!

Thanks!

You sure could.  If needed you can make an entire weblog of multi-text fields wink

Ahh, didn’t a grade school teacher ever tell you “there’s no such thing as a stupid post”?  I’m just glad I could help you out.

Nice extension! Would there be a way to make the name of the columns and name of the columns specific to custom fields?

For instance, I might want to use 2 “multi text” custom fields in the same entry, for 2 differnet things, and with 2 and 3 columns for instance ?!

For a little more control replace the number of columns with a space and the labels with a space.  Then in the edit field page change the field type to a text field and enter the number of columns you would like in the textarea rows.  Then change it to a drop-down list and enter your labels in the drop down list box.  Finally change the field back to a multi text and you’re done.  Field specific settings.

from the first post in the thread, the functionality is built in by default.

Is there any sort of {switch} I can use with this? Or should I use some sort of PHP modulo count?

For the record, I got this “switch” to work with multi-text. I put a sample here in case it might help anyone else out. Note that PHP has to be on for the template.

<ul>
    <?php
    $count = 0;
    $rowclass='';
    ?>        
    {my_multitext_field}
    <?php
        $count++;    
        if($count % 2) {
            $rowclass = 'even';
        } else {
            $rowclass = 'odd';
        }
    ?>
        <li class="<?php echo $rowclass; ?>">{col_1} - {col_2}</li>
    {/my_multitext_field}
</ul>

good solution mdesign, and you might mention PHP parsing has to be on output for this to work.

Any easy way to get that to work with PHP parsing on input?  I’ve got other PHP that has to be processed on input on the same page I’d like to use this tag with alternating row colors…

Switchplus might be able to help you out if you want to avoid PHP in your templates, or if you run into an input/output problem like The Pie Man.

Thanks Mr. Wilson - I’ll have to check that out.

Here’s a question.  I’ve got the following code:

{board_committee_members}
                    <tr>
                        <td><p><strong>{col_1}</strong></p></td>
                        <td><p>
                            {exp:query sql="SELECT url_title AS link from exp_weblog_titles WHERE title='{col_2}' AND weblog_id='5' limit 1"}
                            <p><a href="{path=pages/member_directory_detail}{link}">{col_2}</a></p>
                            {if no_results}
                            {col_2}
                            {/if}
                            {/exp:query}
                        </p></td>
                        <td><p>{col_3}</p></td>
                        <td><p>{col_4}</p></td>
                    </tr>
                    {/board_committee_members}

Which works well if there’s an entry in the database, but the {if no_results} isn’t getting parsed.  Is there some way around that?

I’ve got a bug using version 1.09 and EE 1.5.2 build 20070404 - I get some weird behavior in the CP.

The extension works properly when publishing, but when you go back to edit, it inserts an extra line between each entry.
