fortapache:

I was able to achieve the results from the .98 patch by modifying the following file:

/components/com_hotproperty/views/featured/tmpl/default.php

I tried uploading a patch (diff) file, but I'm not worthy, so I'll try to the narrative version:

<?php 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>
<div id="con_type1">
	<div id="heading_Featured"><a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hotproperty'); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('Pathway Main') . ' ' . JText::_('>') . ' '; ?></a><?php echo JText::_('Featured Title'); ?></div>
	<div id="list_properties">
	<?php 	

echo '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">';
$i=0;

	foreach($this->properties AS $p)
	{

if(($i %2) == 0) { echo '<tr>'; }
echo '<td width="40%" valign="top">';

		$this->p = $p;
		echo $this->loadTemplate('property');

echo '</td>';
if(($i++ % 2) == 1){echo '</tr>';}

	}

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

	?>
	</div>

	<br class="clearboth" />
	<div id="hp_pagecounter_bottom">
		<div align="right"><?php echo $this->pagination->getPagesCounter(); ?></div>
		<br class="clearboth" />
		<?php echo $this->pagination->getPagesLinks('index.php?option=com_hotproperty&view=featured'); ?>
	</div>
</div>

New lines are noted in RED. No other lines need to be altered.

Hope this helps.

Can you make the two column layout for the featured on the homepage (home view)? It doesn't has to be two column when all featured are visible, but just on the homepage.

As far as I know, there are several views that can be changed...each view has its own independent directory in the hp components...

.. advsearch, agent, featured, home, search, type ..

To apply the 2 columns hack, we had to make the same mod to each tmpl/default.php file. So I would say you just don't apply the changes to the other views, and you get the results you are looking for.

Disclaimer: without any input from the developer, there is no guarantee that this 'template' structure will remain in future versions. I hope there will be some code added to allow us to just change the view structure within the back-end component settings.

You will also need to look at your styles and make sure you account for the change in the number of columns and the css code display controls.

Also, remember--this is a beta release at the time this was posted!!

Thank you. I've modified the home view, and I got what I needed. Thanks again

What version did you do this to? I am working with 1.0 and the code is not as shown here. I have been trying to find some direction with regard to this. I have read countless posts and spent lots of time researching the forums here only to come to the conclusion that there is no support for this product.

Can someone prove me wrong?

The code sample I provided was from 1.0b4

I have the two columns display working now, thank you.

Can you show me how I might be able to modify your code to crate even more columns?

Or how I can just fill across and down until the page is full?

I don't think it would be a good idea to just fill the page. Your J! template will have some constraints and the automatic wrap would, in some browsers, be unsightly. Again, I think. You can do wonders with CSS, but this is using tables and I'm just a hack.

For 3 columns: try experimenting...hint: change the 2 to a 3 in the mod operation. Thus, if the modulus of 3 is zero, a new row would be created, and so on. You'll just have to play with the code in red to see what results you get and how you like it.

Again, make sure to adjust your other styles and such to accommodate the "squish" factor ;-)

Could you add some screenshots of what it looks like now?
Maybe even add an URL?

I'd like to have properties displayed in 2 columns if possible.

Has anyone achieved this in version 1.0.0b4 in joomla 1.5??

Thanks in advance for any help.

I get a totally blank/white screen one my websites home page when I apply this hack to the default.php for the Home view. Anyone know why that might be?

You may have mistyped a semicolon or have another syntax issue. Normally when the entire page renders blank that is the case for me.

I've done this task (multi-column view) with modifying CSS and creating new template. Actually, it's not very necessary - it could be clean CSS solution; but I have to created different views for different types.
