Is it possible (with a setting) to change the number of columns displayed? I'd like to switch it to 2 columns, from three. I poked through the php files, but haven't found where this is set. Ideally I'd not be making a core change.

I solved this problem:

Edit line 128 (or thereabouts) in this template file:

Dataface_Form_Section_Template.html

Original:

Code: Select all

{if $element.field.widget.columns}{assign var=cols value=$element.field.widget.columns}{else}{assign var=cols value=3}{/if}

Change to:

Code: Select all

{if $element.field.widget.columns}{assign var=cols value=$element.field.widget.columns}{else}{assign var=cols value=2}{/if}

This looks to be a global change, so it might not work out if you want to target specific elements (though I'm guessing SMARTY provides the ability to target specific columns through an if statement).

As you can tell from this snippet, another way to do this on a field by field basis would be to set the widget:columns directive in the fields.ini file:

Code: Select all

widget:columns=2

Ah, I like that method much better. I've started to delve a bit into the templates, but have never used SMARTY before.
