Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I am trying to create vocabulary index pages with columns and I wonder how to do it. Did someone perhaps accomplish this? The site on which we use vocabindex has index pages that are getting too long. I haven't been able to find any in ofr on the forums on how to do this.
I imagine a setting in the module might be an idea too?
TIA,
Gerben

xanoSupport != feature.
How would you like to theme those indexes exactly and using which view? Can you be more specific?

Gerben Zaagsma commentedThanks for the quick reply.
Have a look at this page: http://primary-sources.eui.eu/country
I'd like to break the index in 2, possibly 3 columns instead of one long list. I use the tree view right now.
Comment #3
xanoNested lists are very hard to break up, because simply splitting the list in half means the hierarchy around that point gets unclear.
Even if there is a way to split the index up in columns it's technically impossible with Vocabulary Index. I'm moving this issue to Index, so I can make sure it's possible using that module.

Gerben Zaagsma commentedOk, will be following there (and good to know about the new Index module).
Comment #5
xanoIndex theming can now be overriden by themes not only with a
index.tpl.phpfile, but also withindex--$iid.tpl.php, where$iidis the ID of the index, which is also used in the URL structure of the admin pages.Comment #6
verta commentedI did some research last year into styling lists into columns, and wanted to share 2 articles that helped me with concepts and code:

This one is a list of suggestions, including one JQuery solution that looks promising: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4923/wrapping-lists-into-columns/7674...
