How would I customize the viewing of a record so that it would display in several columns and rows?
It seems there are two viewing options

  1. ---------

Hi,
you can display two or more records in one row:

I.e.

---- ---- ----

---- ---- ----

To make this set Records per Row to 3 on the Field order and totals tab in PHPRunner.

If you need to split one record into several rows use Visual Editor in PHPRunner 3.1

Add rows to the table on the List page, move field controls and labels to these rows, remove unnecessary table columns.

I'm having a hard time customizing views in the Visual Editor. I tried copying the HTML from the VE to Dreamweaver to edit and then move the HTML back to VE but that seems to fail horribly. Do you know of an HTML editor that is compatible with the VE.
Is there a size limit to pages, either lines or characters?
Here is an example of one of the problems I'm having:
In VE I see this


On the list page here is the result


The problem is that jobID1 disapears on the list page. This happens in many other ways to changes I make, they just disappear or ruin the page. So finding a compatible HTML editor is pretty important for me.
Thanks

Hi,
this error happens because you move JobID1 field to another table (column headers) where field value isn't accessible.

I recommend you to add new row before JobID2 row and put your info in it.

Also editing is more simple and obvious if you check off Show Borders on the toolbar.
