[accepted ...] Directory view, dividing columns equal size was created by jrodgar

I needed on my code a way to automatize the blocks per column variable on the directory view so I overrode the flexicontent\tmpl\default_categories.php file.

Feel free to comment

Changing this

Code:

// Get the directory menu parameters 
$cols = JRequest::getVar('columns_count',false);
if(!$cols) $cols = $this->params->get('columns_count',1);
$c1 = $this->params->get('column1',false);
if(!$c1) $c1 = $this->params->get('column1',200);
$c2 = $this->params->get('column2',false);
if(!$c2) $c2 = $this->params->get('column2',200);
$c3 = $this->params->get('column3',false);
if(!$c3) $c3 = $this->params->get('column3',200);
$i = 0;

With this

Code:

// Get the directory menu parameters 
$cols = JRequest::getVar('columns_count',false);
if(!$cols) $cols = $this->params->get('columns_count',1);

// Modification: If 0 blocks for col, divide equally between columns
$items_per_column = round(count($this->categories)/$cols);

$c1 = $this->params->get('column1',false);
if(!$c1) $c1 = $items_per_column;
$c2 = $this->params->get('column2',false);
if(!$c2) $c2 = $items_per_column;
$c3 = $this->params->get('column3',false);
if(!$c3) $c3 = $items_per_column;
$i = 0;

Hello

nice suggestion, we have in our mind to add improve direction view even more,

you suggestion will be added,

Also we will change default value of column
from

Code:

<field name="column1" type="text" default="200"...

Code:

<field name="column1" type="text" default="0" ...

so that by default the menu item will balance all columns

Regards
