Displaying Data in Columns

Like directories do

[le_gber]

Hi,

I wanted to display a list of categories the way portals do it, ie in columns and sorted alphabetically.

I fugured out a way of doing it and was wondering if any expert could have a look at what's follow:

ask the dtb to count the number of cat

divide the number of cat by 2 and round on the higher

loop and display categories until you reach this number

then create another cell and carry on until the end

Now once I've got this sorted, I need to create a inner loop with a filter to display a fixed number of sub cat.

Does anybody know either a good tutorial explaining how to do it, or is it as straightforward as this and can be done easily?

Thanks

Leo

it's as straightforward as you describe.

yep did it and work fine thanks - even the 3 columns one (/3 and added .2 to always round it above ;) )
