Thanks Dave

I think you’ve put together a great website – very simple, very clean and very functional.

I like what you’ve done with your images, so thanks also for the tip re NextGEN and lightbox popups. I think I’ll be able to use that.

So far I haven’t even been able to change the font size of my database results, let alone alignment or anything else. I’ll keep on that and I’m hoping I can do something with the notable=”1″ attribute, which leaves out the beginning and ending table tags and hopefully then gives some flexibility to add some style. I’ll start a new post on that when I know more.

Thanks again and kind regards
Randall

Hi Dave

Oops, sorry about that, you’re right, it seems I was just too lazy to scroll ??

Now I have to work on the layout of my database results, which looks like another challenge in itself.

Kind Regards
Randall

Hi TankMaster1970

Thanks – your last post was a massive help. I agree that the attribute references could be a little clearer, but I also agree that Abase is a fabulous plugin, so very well done Richard.

I note that when you pasted your fixed code above, you did not include your Image column in the columns attribute (it ends with a ,). I had to include my equivalent column name in the columns attribute, and hey presto, it all worked.

Thanks again and kind regards

Hi highlifelight

A possible solution for you is to have the search results appear on a separate page. They then won’t all appear on your search page and only the appropriate search results will appear on the separate results page.

Hi Jane.

I’m stuck here too. You can use the limit=”[insert maximum number of rows]” attribute, which effectively limits the number of search results, but it does not automatically page the results or give any indication that there were more results available.

Being able to automatically page the results and set the number of records per page would certainly enhance this plugin enormously, so I’m also hoping someone knows how to do it.

Kind regards
Randall

Thanks very much Shawna!

I never thought to go negative, so I’ve learned something new.

The theme margin looked fine on a PC, but I thought it looked a bit big on a smart phone, so I settled on -20px and I think it now looks great on both.

Thanks again and kind regards

Hi BusyMomiBee

Thanks for that and thanks for your Colorful Delight child theme, which is nice and clean and simple and has been fairly easy to modify to suit my requirements.

Actually, there is one more thing you may be able to help me with. I’m trying to reduce the amount of white space at the very top of the page (ie above the title, image and nav bar, but below the colored tile background). I can’t find the margin setting for it in either of the style.css files, so I’m hoping you might be able to direct me to it.

Thanks and kind regards
Randall

OK, I seem to have found a solution, although there may be better ones. I added the following in my child theme style.css file:

.main-navigation div.menu-menu-1-container > ul {
background-color: #xxx;
text-align: center;
}

So presumably in the first line you need to write:

.main-navigation div.menu-[name of custom menu, with any spaces replaced with hyphens]-container > ul {
