Hi there

Basically this is the result we are after: hidden link

I've created a view which displays the chosen taxonomy of 'composer'.

At present I've got this far: hidden link

So ideally these will be displayed as three columns and be clickable, generating a new product table of results like this: hidden link

(by the way that is the Barn2 Product Table plugin).

Best regards

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

This should be possible if you select the bootstrap layout for 3 columns when using the Loop Wizard.

Then just use the [wpv-taxonomy-link] shortcode to display the title with a link.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you Shane, that works 🙂

But... The titles are in one long column. Is there a way to spilt them automatically across three?

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

Yes you can use the loop wizard to create a 3 column design using the bootstrap grid.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello Shane

I am using the 3 column grid. But I need to find out how to make the columns the same height, and so that the list flows automatically through the three columns. However if this is outside your support remit I will look elsewhere for the solution.

---

I two other questions please.

1
See how the list is showing two types of composer name: the short version - just a surname; and a long version which is the full name plus dates. I've attached a screenshot showing that I only have the long version 'Composers-Full-Names' checked on Content Selection. Why is the list also showing the short names?

2
I have the view set to order by name which I assume means alphabetical? However the list isn't sorted alphabetically.

Best regards

Simon

The opening post URLs are wrong.

The site is now live at jackspipesandhammers.co.uk.

However we have a holding page up so I will need to give you a login to take a look. How do I do this privately?

This is the page in question: hidden link

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

For the same row height you can have a look here.
hidden link

I've enabled the private fields for your next response. Also please ensure that it is an admin account so that I can check on the view settings.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Simon,

The column ordering I believe the issue could be caused by the Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order plugin. Could you disable it and let me know if the issue still remains ?

I also checked your taxonomy and it seems as if some of them have short names hidden link

This is why you see the short names as well.

Thanks,
Shane

Shane, I see the three columns, thanks so much for that :]

Can you tell me how you did that please because perhaps two columns would be better as the third column is protruding into the right margin.

You were right about the plugin, have disabled that, just need to work out a way to reorder the categories because the client wanted them in that order.

WOW I'm so impressed with what you've just done!

Many thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

So our views plugin generates Bootstrap classes for the columns.

All I did was to enable bootstrap by going to Toolset -> Settings and scroll down to bootstrap loading and enabled the bootstrap.

To generate the 2 columns just repeat the steps with the loop wizard and use 2 columns instead of 3.

Thanks,
Shane
