This plugin may be used to split any kind of listings into several blocks with evenly distributed items. This can be manually created lists, lists produced by {exp:weblog:entries}- or {exp:weblog:categories}-tags or whatever.
There must however be some text in between the single items that can be used as a delimiter.
The number of items per block is determined automatically and blocks surrounded by <div></div> are created. You may specify a classname to be used in the <div>.
Example:
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default"}
{title}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}
You have a list of weblog entries and want to create three evenly sized columns.
Wrap the {exp:splitter}-tags around the {exp:weblog:entries}-tags, specifiy the number of blocks you want, a text to be used as delimiter and the class you want to be applied to the <div>s.
{exp:splitter blocks="3" delimiter="<br />" class="myclass"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default"}
{title}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/exp:splitter}
will produce
<div class="myclass">
Title 1<br />
Title 2<br />
Title 3<br />
</div>
<div class="myclass">
Title 4<br />
Title 5<br />
Title 6<br />
</div>
<div class="myclass">
Title 7<br />
Title 8<br />
Title 9<br />
</div>
To make columns you’d probably set the class to float:left and might want to specify a width. Like:
<style>
.myclass {
float:left;
width:33%;
}
</style>
Freeware means you may use this addon free of
charge in as many installations as you like.
