issue with dynamic tables
I'm using TBS right now to dynamically create a table of products. My business logic is set so that my product pages will have four products per page. I'd like each page to have a table with two rows, each with two cells.
Using code like this: [product_links.val;block=td;htmlconv=no] |
leads to a table with one row and four cells.
Using this code: [product_links.val;block=tr;htmlconv=no] |
leads to a table with four rows with one cell each.
Is it possible to format a table dynamically like this?

Like what ? Two rows and two cells ?
It's possible to display your data on two columns, and continuing on the next row. This is the serial mode. You can go and see an in-line example. It's the example named "Display in columns (serial)".
It's also possible to make dynamic columns, but I don't think it is interesting for your problem. There is also an in-line example named "Dynamic columns".

Re: issue with dynamic tables
Ok, I was sure there was a way to do it but didn't know the serial keyword was what I needed.
So in my example do I change to code to
[product_links_1.val;block=td;htmlconv=no]
[product_links_2.val;block=td;htmlconv=no;serial]

Will this let me create two rows with two cells each?

Re: issue with dynamic tables
It's rather like this:
<tr>
<td>[product_links_1.val;block=td;htmlconv=no][product_links;block=tr;serial]</td>
<td>[product_links_2.val;block=td;htmlconv=no]</td>
</tr>

Re: issue with dynamic tables
Thank you. It's hard to figure out how to use some of this functionality when I'm not sure if I'm apply TBS's tools properly.
