How can I layout the fields in rows

On the “manage database fields” page, each field has a number under the “display” column. That determines which column in the list display that field will be shown in. Set it to 0 to keep the field from appearing in the list.

This can also be set in the shortcode using the “fields” attribute.

Thanks for the help. I think I understand your suggestion, but my problem is I want all of the fields to show up, but I want to display the fields in rows of ten or less so that the fields can be seen without having to scroll across the screen past the normal WP layout. If I set the display number to zero, can I make the field appear again in another row in the same display?
Please advise,

Thanks

OK, I think I understand. That will be very complicated to do. You’ll need to create a custom template that will divide the columns into smaller chunks that can be shown as rows in the table. You’ll need a pretty good handle on PHP and HTML to get it to work. Check out this article on setting up custom templates:

I too find this plugin to be excellent. Is there a way to format of the field display? Important to me is to be able to set column width of the fields that are displayed.

You’ll need to work with the CSS to make a change like this, I can’t be specific because every site is so different. Take a look at this article, if you’re not familiar with working with CSS in WordPress:

Thanks, xnau!

Hello ewcapers
I do have exactly the same problem you have but I do not great at PHP or HTML. If you happen to find a solution for this I will really appreciate your imput. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xnau for a trully great plugin!!! I am awre this required a lot of work to create! I really wanted to use this but unfortunately, because of the problem mentioned above, I will have to take a rain-check…it is practically impossible to see 15 fields displayed into columns especially with the field “bio”being displayed in a very narrow column…The list of multiple serviced zip codes take more space in vertical column that it would in an horizontal layout, not counting being not easy to read (as for the bio).

WHAT I AM TRYING TO CREATE:
A search form for a specific serviced zipcode and specialty searching among my 20 dog-sitters (members)who are servicing at their client’s home (20 zip- codes each). The results should be showing related members with 15 fields each displayed in an horizontal layout preferably in alphabetical order as in my full list (created manually here:)

to reduce the listing and as a temporary measure, I divided the list in 5 areas searchable through an interactive map but a search form for a specific zip-code and specialty is what I am trying to accomplish.
