Displaying records - sideways

Displaying a number of records / images in horizontal direction.

Using loop_count and the mod operator

<table>
	<tr>
		<td>
			<table>
				<tr>[records]
					<td>
<a href="[Field: 'Link_URL']">

<img src="[Field:'Image_URL']" alt="" height="143" width="210" border="0" /></a><a href="[Field: 'Link_URL]">[Field: 'Image_Caption']</a></td>
					[If: (Loop_Count % 4) == 0]</tr>
				<tr>[/If][/Records]</tr>
			</table>
			</td>
	</tr>
</table>

Note: The number of columns listed is determined by the 'Loop_Count', in the above sample it is the number '4'.

Using lp_array_columns

The custom tag lp_array_columns provides an easy way to quickly format an array, or in the case of records, records_array. Below shows the various display scenarios; follow this link to see actual coding examples for the below:

Raw: 
 
a    b    c    d    e    f    g    h    i     
 
 
Horizontal: 
 
a    b    c     
d    e    f     
g    h    i     
 
 
Vertical: 
 
a    d    g     
b    e    h     
c    f    i     
 
 
Horizontal -maxcols=2: 
 
a    b     
c    d     
e    f     
g    h     
i         
 
 
Horizontal -maxrows=2: 
 
a    b    c    d    e     
f    g    h    i         
 
 
Horizontal -maxcols=2, -maxrows=2: 
 
a    b     
c    d     
 
 
Vertical -maxcols=2: 
 
a    f     
b    g     
c    h     
d    i     
e         
 
 
Vertical -maxrows=2: 
 
a    c    e    g    i
