Impossible to set "Number of columns" to 1 or 3

vlaad,

Do you mean that the selection box does not work or that the output isn't working?

The number of columns is used in two places: Terms & Nodes.

It will NOT be used for Nodes unless you have "List of nodes" selected under "Where people are sent clicking a term".

Thank you.

Hi,
Sorry for my bad english...
So, I mean on Terms page.
On this page, I can only have a two columns display for Terms.

Hmmm... that sounds weird.

Are you saying that the selection does not work (i.e. the dropdown is "broken")?

Or that, even if you select 1 or 3, it still shows 2 columns?

I use Taxonomy VTN and I can set it to 3 columns... (see link below)

Thank you.
Alexis

yep... the selection box is set to "One" and no change on Terms page, it still at 2 columns ... same thing if the drop menu is set to "Three" .. no effect..

I can't obtain the result you demonstrated on your 3 columns demo on your precedent reply.

This problem is the same on "Letters to group" option ... no effect on Terms page , even if "Two" or "Three" is selected .. ouput still ungroup with only One letter ...

Maybe is an incompatibility of Zen Theme...?

dB.

vlaad,

I do not see why Zen would cause a problem. That's just a theme and the count is used in taxonomy VTN .pages.inc and as far as I can tell has nothing to do with any theme.

Yet, if you could test the same website in another theme to see what happens, it would be great!

Can you also verify the database? The variable named taxonomy_vtn_terms_count_column_terms$own_vid where $own_vid is your vocabulary identifier should be set to 1, 2 or 3 as expected.

The only other thing I could think of is that you are setting up the # of columns for the wrong vocabulary... But I would think you'd try that with each or something...

Anyway, let me know what you see in the DB and what you get when not using Zen.

Thank you.

Hi Alexis,
First, the probleme persist with Garland Theme... so, like you think, Zen seem not be the problem.

Second, I can't find the variable taxonomy_vtn_terms_count_column_terms... in the dB.
I uses a BlueHost account, and I have made search with phpMyAdmin... no trace of this variable.

The more close I have found is: "taxonomy_vtn_terms_count_column_terms4"
(value: s:1:"2";) in "drupal_variable" table.

*For more detail, I only have 1 vocabulary with 14 terms.

Thanks for your time,

vlaa,

The more close I have found is: "taxonomy_vtn_terms_count_column_terms4"
(value: s:1:"2";) in "drupal_variable" table.

That would be the one. Whenever you go check your taxonomy, you certainly go to:

/taxonomy_vtn/voc/4

where the 4 is the taxonomy identifier. You can also find out about that number when you edit your taxonomy. You should see it in your URL at that time. If that is not the case (i.e. if the taxonomy that you are editing is not #4) then somehow the variable is not being set for the one taxonomy you are trying to use.

Okay. Now try to change the number to 1 or 3 and see whether the variable does also change to 1 or 3. If not, somehow the variable is not being set and that's the problem.

If the variable changes and the taxonomy you are working with is #4, then there is another problem...

Thank you.

The variable don't change...

Thanks again,

vlaaD,

Do you still have this problem?

Also... could you let me know whether any other parameter has the same problem? They all use the same mechanism and I'm wondering whether only that counter has a problem or if all the parameters cannot be changed in the database.

Thank you.
Alexis
