In my joomla site there is a page which lists all the Teachers' Name in our institute in category list layout. In the default layout it lists all the names in one column. What I want to do is list them in two columns. Can somebody help me to get this done?

here is the link to the current page
http://vidupiyasa.com/mgt/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=43&Itemid=172

.
Change it to a Category Blog layout and set it to 2 columns.
Then turn-off anything you do not want to see (e.g. intro text, etc.).

Thnx for prompt response. I tried your suggestion. Then it again shows in one column list as in Category list layout. I changed the Multi Column Order to 'Across' in Parameters (Advanced), but the same result. I can't understand what the reason, pls any suggestions?

Hi :)

Try to set Author Name to "SHOW" in the Parameters (Component), to see if an additional column will show

EDIT:
I may got it wrong, sorry. Do you want to list the article title in two columns? If so, what I suggested above may be useless.

enbees,

No, It doesn't work.

here my Parameters (Basic)
Image

I thought this is something related to Template Overrides and need to edit default_items.php file. But I can't figure it out how to do.

Pls your help is needed.


You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

If you want to display:

| # | Article Title | | # |Article Title |

then yes, I think you will need a Template Override (Modify the core)

Hi sudeerax
I'm not so sure if the following tweak to J! default_items.php will fully satisfy your requirements, but I do hope it will provide you with some ideas on how to achieve the final goal. You surely can modify it further on your own way. :)
Code:
<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

   function tableOrdering( order, dir, task )
   {
      var form = document.adminForm;

      form.filter_order.value    = order;
      form.filter_order_Dir.value   = dir;
      document.adminForm.submit( task );
   }
</script>
<form action="<?php echo $this->action; ?>" method="post" name="adminForm">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<?php if ($this->params->get('filter') || $this->params->get('show_pagination_limit')) : ?>

            <?php echo JText::_($this->params->get('filter_type') . ' Filter').'&nbsp;'; ?>
            <input type="text" name="filter" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->lists['filter']);?>" class="inputbox" onchange="document.adminForm.submit();" />
         </td>
      <?php endif; ?>

Hi Enbees,

Can you point out what the specific code was in your amended default items page?

Also, are you able to say where the default_items.php is located, that your talking about. I seem to have several in my installation.

Many thanks,

You shouldn't miss the file, we were talking about the category list layout:
components/com_content/views/category/default_item.php

It should be easy enough to compare this two files (original and modified) to identify which changes have been made.

Is there anyway to do this in J2.5? Seems so simple, yet I'm scratching my head over this. Looks so ugly with just 1 column.

I want to do this as well in a 2.5 site. My goal is to have links to category blog layouts but show the blog page not a single article. This is the only way without a extension and I am trying to limit that and use core components. If I use a category blog layout the title links to the single article losing the effect I want to achieve.

I am going to try a featured article category layout with the link in the text, as title or read more. SEO is confusing me at the moment though. Robots in the articles to no and the menu to yes might work.
