Hello,

I'm trying for 2 days now to customize a view to look like I want it to look with no success.

I have a view of node type that has 3 fields:

Title
Image
Link

I want the view to look like a table, where each field is in a column, and each field type is in a row.

For example, the table should look like this:

Title A Title B Title C

Image A Image B Image C

Link A Link B Link C

I tried changing the tpl files for a table and grid views, but the problem I have is that the view prints each row at a time and not each field, as a result, all the fields are printed in the same row and column, which makes the titles appear in different heights according to the image height.
I want all the fields to align horizontally.

I'm attaching a picture since it's very hard for me to explain what I mean :) and my tpl file.

Can someone please help me?

Thank you,

Sigal

Hmm, actually, I get what you say... I thought about the possible need of turning the table so that records are displayed vertically before, but I never actually ran into it...

OK, so I played around, and

OK, so I played around, and this may be a bit of a kludge, but:

Say your view is called Listing, then add views-view-table--Listing.tpl.php as attached having set your view to table style.

Which would render as attached. The top table is the one I think you want, right?

First thank you for trying to help :)

But my attachments and yours do not appear on the posts.

Drupal bug?

I'm trying to attach a file again, just to see if it is attached.

Yes, funny, they did show in

Yes, funny, they did show in the preview. E-mail me at info@burtronix.co.za and I'll reply with the files.

Done

Ok, with Nightwatch help and with a clear head, I managed to solve this problem.

If anyone is interested in the solution, you can send me a message and I'll send you the tpl file.

I would attach it here, but it looks like the attachments option does not work.

Cheers,

Sigal
