[wishlist] Columns in web interface? #28

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Rather than have a long list of artists down one side of my web browser and
wasting the rest of the window, IWBNI they could appear in columns.

Adding 
  div.directories {
    -moz-column-count:4;
  } 

to my disorder.css is an improvement, though of course mozilla-specific,
and hard-wiring it to four columns isn't a general fix. (Also, it has the
columns effect on albums, too - which I don't mind, but I suppose some might.) 

http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=27f87 has some LI-based
CSS which may do the trick with a little help from the CGI; it also seems
that CSS3 has some column support that might be worth investigating.

... thank you *so* much, google and firefox, for taking my mishit on Enter when 
I was
editing the subject as evidence that I wanted to prematurely submit the ticket, 
and
for not providing a way for me to edit the darn thing after submission *sigh* 
...
Intended subject was "[wishlist] Columns in web interface?"

I like the effect and not too bothered by the portability; users of better web
browsers get better results.

However I am a bit worried about the hard-wiring to four columns: I'd rather see
something that made the number of columns adapt to the current width of the 
window
and size of text.  Do you know if there's any practical way to achieve that?

Tricky; I think you're off into Javascript-land. Possibly something like YUI 
would
have enough of a higher-level useful hook.
