Hi

I am creating a Realty site using the Basic Realty Add On.

I have created a 3 column table to display the images 3
accross and this works well. However I want to limit the
number of images displayed here to 12 images max. This
would give me a 3 x 4 table and if there were more than 12
images the ones after 12 would be left off. Hope you can
help.

Hi Andybarn,

Here’s a recipe from my CMSB cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com that should help.

There are a lot more tips and tricks on how to utilize the power of CMS Builder on you sites.

Hope that gets you going in the right direction.

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth

LIMITING THE NUMBER OF IMAGES ON A PAGE AND SHOWING CODE IF EXCEEDED

I wanted to show only a certain number of thumbnails on a page (20) and display a link to a second page if that number was exceeded. The limit part was easy. In the get records code at the top of the page I entered

'limit' => '20',
To display a message if the number was exceeded, (in this case a link to a second viewer) I used the following: ( I was already using a counter on this page so I called this counter count2)
<?php $count2 = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($portfolio_imagesRecords as $record): ?>
<?php $count2++; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php if ($count2 >19): ?><a href=”http://www.your_site.com/your_viewer2.php”>Click for more images.><?php endif ?>

Hi Robin

Sorry for the late reply - I have only just got back to this.

Your code was just what I needed to get this sorted. The only thing I changed was substituting

<?php foreach ($realtyRecord['uploads'] as $upload): ?>

for

<?php foreach ($listing['uploads'] as $upload): ?>

and everything worked as I wanted - fantastic! I can now limit the number of images displayed by changing the number in

<?php if($counter > 20): ?>


Great support!

Thanks to you and Jerry for your input and help.
