is there a way to have a "float div" view like a face book ?

hi,

here’s the need :
i just have a basic table with 3 fields:
id, name, photo. (students data)

i’m trying to build a face book sheet (trombinoscope, face book) to give to the teachers (a simple doc with photos and names).

PHPmaker only allows list view OR form view (edit/view page) which is not filling my need…

I want “tile view” or “tide view” (i don’t know the correct name of that kind of view, it the view of windows8 start menu too…).
it is view you have in CSS when you do that :

name1 photo1
name2 photo2
name3 photo3

i thought i could have added codes into the Row_Rendered event to bring all the fields into a single-one “merged” and use the Wrap prroperty to let the display manage the “inline content” but in the code, i can only access the data field from ONE record (the current one) and not all records.

So, how can i tweak phpmaker to build such a document to print ?

does you guys have an idea ?

You may try the Multi-Column layout, see the topic “PHP Settings” and/or “Table Setup” in the help file.
