fmp-repeating fields in tables

[tyrantworm]

I have a repeating field set up in a detail page. it shows the data ok, but i'd really like to be able to split the repeating information into a table.

I have a table with 5 columns and 2 rows. the 1st row has all the names for the columns. the second row has 1 repeating field in each of the five columns.

some the the data is more in some fields than in others so the data as you read it going across the rows is staggered and difficulut to keep straight. I tried the fmp-repeatingnumber things and it made numbers but it was still not easy to read data going across the page.

I'd like to be able to separate all repeating data into a new row as it flows down the page.

this is what I have:

[fmp-record]

<tr valign="top">

<td height="120">[FMP-REPEATING: mentoring_log_date][fmp-repeatingitem]<br>

[/FMP-REPEATING]</td>

<td>[FMP-REPEATING: mentoring_activities] [fmp-repeatingitem]<br>

[/FMP-REPEATING]</td>

<td>[FMP-REPEATING: minutes] [fmp-repeatingitem]<br>

[/FMP-REPEATING]</td>

<td>[FMP-REPEATING: product_documentation] [fmp-repeatingitem]<br>

[/FMP-REPEATING]</td>

<td>[FMP-REPEATING: txbess_standard] [fmp-repeatingitem]<br>

</td>[/FMP-REPEATING]

</tr>

[/fmp-record]

I know the answer lies in some coding on either side of the [fmp-repeatingitem] but i have spent hours playing with <table> <tr> <td> in all which ways in here and can't get the results I'm after.

any help would be grand

thanks

You can use a Table within each Cell/Repeating Field.

[fmp-record]

<tr valign="top">

<td height="120"><table>[FMP-REPEATING: mentoring_log_date]

<tr><td>[fmp-repeatingitem]</td></tr>

[/FMP-REPEATING]</table></td>

......

</tr>

[/fmp-record]

All the best.

I've just read the above, and am wondering if this is a solution for the lack of sliding within portals....I'm not sure I've understood it correctly, as its a bit advanced for me....

This is for Custom Web Publishing (CWP). It uses CDML and HTML page tags to build pages. CWP allows much greater flexibility than Instant Web Publishing (IWP).

All the best.
