Photolog multiple columns…
Was reminded of this script by looking through my referrers… had forgotten about it. Wanted to post it here so I don’t lose it again. 
The following script is really designed for a photo log… it will set up your page (MT specific) so that it automatically generates a table with 3 columns (You can actually customize it to be however number of columns you choose…
Javascript version:
<script language=”javascript”>
<!–
// number of columns
var numColmax = 3;
var numCol = 1;
var done=false;
//–>
</script>
<table width=”400″ border=1 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=0>
<MTEntries>
<script language=”javascript”>
<!–
if (numCol == 1) {
document.write(”<tr>”);
}
//–>
</script>
<td>
<a href=”<$MTEntryLink$>”>
<$MTEntryTitle$>
<br>
<$MTEntryExcerpt$>
</a>
</p>
</td>
<script language=”javascript”>
<!–
numCol++
done = false
if (numCol > numColmax) {
document.write(”</tr>”);
numCol=1;
done = true;
}
//–>
</script>
</MTEntries>
<script language=”javascript”>
<!–
if (!(done)) {
for (i=0; numCol <= numColmax; i++ )
{
document.write(”<td> </td>”)
numCol++
}
}
if ((numCol >= numColmax) && !(done)) {
document.write(”</tr>”)
}
//–>
</script>
</table>

Rock on!! I’ve been thinking about making categories for my photolog and was curious how to go about putting the thumbnails in a little more tabled layout
Thank you for saving me the extra hours of frustration of having to think this code out myself

You can use the MTGrid plugin to create tables without JavaScript or PHP programming.

Does it work with Rows as well?
I need 5 cols and 2 rows (10 images per page)
is that possible?
Does it integrate with MTPaginate?
I tried MTGrid but it doesn’t seem to integrate with MTpaginate.
