I am developing the use of both CategoresAZ & BrandnamesAZ which is working fine (fashion.uk-eshopping.co.uk/categoriesAZ.php), but I would like the individual results to be displayed in multiple columns and not just one column. Could you please give me some idea how to achieve this.

Kind regards

Hello Bernard,

If you are using Price Tapestry's built in a-to-z HTML module (html/atoz.php) then you can change the number of columns on line 3:

$columns = 1;

If you're not using the above file; you can use it as a template for creating a multi-column table...

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am using the amended categories.php file that you suggested in a previous article. I'll have a look at atoz.php and see how I get on although my coding skills aren't great.

Another small problem I've got is limited storage space on the server. Is there a way that I can remove the datafeed files after importing them without losing the statistics. The only solution I can think of is to upload dummy files with the same filename after the import. Any thoughts on this?

Cheers

Bernard

Hi Bernard;

You can upload empty files with the same names - that will work fine and you will still be able to view the stats. If you have Telnet or SSH access to your server an easy way to create emtpy files is with the "touch" command; for example:

cd feeds
rm merchant.xml
touch merchant.xml

Cheers,
David.

I'm getting nowhere fast due to lack of php skills. If you have some time I would really appreciate some more help with this one. I'm sure others would also benefit from this as well as it would give a much better onscreen display.

Kind regards

Hello Bernard,

The easiest thing to do would be if you can write your script just to display the items in a single list; then email the file to me (reply to your forum registration or reg code email is the best way) and i'll add the PHP code needed to make it into columns for you...

Cheers,
David.
