Dear Lady or Sir,

I´ve created a custom search with checkboxes. The checkboxes are connected with taxonomies. Please check the attached screenshot.
How I can show the checkboxes as columns. I this case I´d like to show 4 columns (5 CB / 5 CB / 5 CB / 5 CB)

Another question:
The search results are shown a picture per result. I´d like to have the following function. If click on the picture, it will open the picture in a bigger size as lightbox.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
Reimund

You can wrap the checkboxes filter shortcode in a div, then apply custom CSS to display content in multiple columns. More information about CSS column-count: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_column-count.asp

There's nothing built-in to Toolset that will open an image in a lightbox. This requires custom code using JavaScript and CSS, or another 3rd-party Lightbox plugin. There are several other tickets here in the forum where other users have shared their solutions for lightbox displays. Here's one where Beda offers some code samples: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/using-a-lightbox-in-my-view-to-display-view-content-template/

If you need more specific information, feel free to create a separate ticket. Our support policy is one topic per ticket, so we can keep the forums organized. Thanks!

Hello Christian Cox,

thank you for your very fast reply.
Is it possible that you show me a example based on my code. Because I not a programmer and I am not sure what I have to do.

<div class="form-group">
<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Nationality[/wpml-string]</label>
[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="nationality" type="checkboxes" format="%%NAME%%" orderby="none" url_param="wpv-nationality"]
</div>

Many thanks.

Best regards

Here's an example of adding a CSS class to a div wrapping the taxonomy shortcode:

<div class="form-group">
<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Nationality[/wpml-string]</label>
<div class="four-columns">
  [wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="nationality" type="checkboxes" format="%%NAME%%" orderby="none" url_param="wpv-nationality"]
</div>
</div>

Then you would add this code to the CSS panel below your View's Search and Pagination editor:

.four-columns {
  -webkit-column-count: 4; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
  -moz-column-count: 4; /* Firefox */
  column-count: 4;
}
