How To Make This Align In Columns

[Lynne]

Um.... something like <div style="width:100px" class="smallfont"> instead of the <span class="smallfont"> part. (I'm not sure, but it sounds like it would work - you may need to tweek the css a little bit - add padding or margins and overflow).

I think to try Lynne's suggestion you need to edit the grouplist_groupbits template.

If that doesn't work you could put them in a table. It probably should be done via changes to the templates as well as the code, but you could try this:

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('./global.php'); 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_socialgroup.php'); 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_grouplist.php'); 

// ####################################################################### 
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 
// ####################################################################### 
$c = 0; 
$settings = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "grouplist_settings"); 
$categories = fetch_categories($settings); 
$newestgroup = fetch_newest_group(); 
foreach ($categories AS $categoryid => $categoryname) 
{ 
    $group = $db->query_first(" 
             SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "grouplist 
             WHERE categoryid = $categoryid 
    "); 
       $groupids = unserialize($group['exclude']); 
       $groupids = ($groupids ? implode(",", $groupids) : $groupids); 
    $socialgroups = fetch_groups($groupids, $categoryid, $group['order'], $group['sort'], $group['limit']); 
    if ($group['order'] == 'name') 
    { 
        $order = 'Alphabetical Order'; 
    } 
    elseif ($group['order'] == 'members') 
    { 
        $order = 'Popularity'; 
    } 
    elseif ($group['order'] == 'discussions') 
    { 
        $order = 'Discussions'; 
    } 
    $c++; 
    $class = ($c % 2 == 0 ? 'alt2' : 'alt1'); 
    eval('$categorybits .= "<tr>\n<td class=\"$class\"> <span class=\"smallfont\">' . ($group['limit'] ? '(Top $group[limit] by $order)' : '') . '</span><div style=\"margin-left: 0.5%\">";'); 
    $categorybits .= "<table>";
    $grcol = 0;
    foreach ($socialgroups AS $groupid => $groupname) 
    { 
        if ($grcol == 0)
        {
            $categorybits .= "<tr>";
        }
        $groupinfo = fetch_socialgroupinfo($groupid); 
        if ($groupinfo['lastpost'] > $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] OR $groupinfo['lastpost'] > $vbulletin->userinfo['lastactivity']) 
        { 
            $icon = "images/statusicon/subforum_new.gif"; 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            $icon = "images/statusicon/subforum_old.gif"; 
        } 
        eval('$groupbits = "' . fetch_template('grouplist_groupbits') . '";'); 
        $categorybits .= '<td width="33%">' . $groupbits . '</td>'; 
        if (++$grcol >= 3)
        {
             $categorybits .= "</tr>";
             $grcol = 0;
        }
    } 
    if ($grcol != 0)
    {
       while ($grcol < 3)
       {
            $categorybits .= '<td width="33%">&nbsp;</td>';
            ++$grcol;
       }
       $categorybits .= "</tr>";
    }
    $categorybits .= "</table>";
    $lastpost = fetch_last_post($categoryid); 
    eval('$categorybits .= "</div></td>\n\n</tr>";'); 
} 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
eval('$fhgrouplist = "' . fetch_template('grouplist') . '";');

I haven't tried that code at all, so it's kind of a stab in the dark...

[DieselMinded]

i put your code in and the box didnt show at all

[kh99]

OK, it looks like there was a problem with single vs. double quotes. I edited the code above, try it again if you're still interested.

[DieselMinded]

nope it even takes off the users who have visited today as well

[kh99]

OK, sorry, I guess I can't debug it "blind".

Maybe someone else can help...

[DieselMinded]

[DieselMinded]
