Question re: mod of yget

[sanch]

Hello all!
I know I am going to catch hell for this... I have been experimenting with tweaks to the excellent yget template and one of the things I'd like to try doing is adding a table to the template. Yes... Yes... I know the evil of tables and about CSS goodness. Fact remains that IE sucks and tables help balance it. So what would I like to do? Make the link summary section (part where the links and descriptions actually show up on the page) all one table with each new link a separate row. I know about making changes to the link_summary.tpl file but if I add the table files to that then I end up with each link+description as it's own table instead of each link*description being its own row of a table.

Being a noob to Smarty type templating I am confused as to how this can be achieved. What would be the best place to add the opening table tag to the main template so that the link_summary.tpl file has the tr and td tags?

This may not be the best way or the most efficient way but if you look in index_center.tpl (just one of the places that calls link_summary) You'll see

include('./libs/link_summary.php');

Maybe you could change it to

echo '<table>';
include('./libs/link_summary.php');
echo '</table>';

And then you could put <tr><td> at the top of link_summary.tpl and </td></tr> at the bottom. I haven't tested this but maybe it will create a new row for each link_summary.tpl call.

--------

That was the first that that jumped to my mind but there is probably a much simpler way by editing /libs/link_summary.php where it actually pulls the links. If you use the first way you will need to edit every single file that has this code

include('./libs/link_summary.php');

That seems to work! Thanks!

Not too bad either... A quick search shows index_center.tpl, search_center.tpl and shakeit_center.tpl include link_summary.php and so would require the table tag change.
