List Downloads in Columns?

Post by jsg01 »

Hi,
I have my downloads set up so that there is no download button or information, it's just the filename, linked to the file that people click on to download.
So each download page is a list of links.
Right now it's displaying 20 downloads per page, but it only takes up a small part of the page.

Is it possible to display the list of downloads in each page in 2 columns? Or possibly even 3?
I still want it to go alphabetically down, then resume at the top of the next column, if possible.
Example:
FilenameAa FilenameBa FilenameCa
FilenameAb FilenameBb FilenameCb
FilenameAc FilenameBc FilenameCc
This would reduce the number of pages per category to browse through, and it would remove alot of empty white space.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, there is no such parameter in options, so this can be done per own layout or template override:

Thank you for your response, but what I'm asking for is how to alter the CSS...what needs to be changed? I've tried a few things, but I don't know enough about CSS or phocadownload to make it work correctly.

Hi,

if you need to change the output, only CSS maybe is not enough and it needs to be done per override with help of HTML and CSS. You can try to use some CSS techniques like smaller width and float boxes but I didn't do such customization yet, so hard to give some clue advices. Maybe if you don't have enough CSS skills, the best way will be to hire someone for such customization :idea:
