Indexhibit Support

Hello all,
I'm using the horizontal format to display pages of a book - horizontal seems the most natural format for that. However, there is a decent amount of text before the images. The text is just creating a huge tower of text and I'd rather it displayed in columns max 550px high for example.
Here is the link caferoyalbooks.com/index.php/shop/revisiting-utopia/
You will have to scroll vertically to read the text and scroll horiz to see the images, which too me is very clumsy. Is there a way to wrap the text into columns before the images [to the left of the images, not on top]?

It's looks great!

A max height for text will be a problem, but you could try using some html (divs) to make columns that fit into a wide text space (I'm assuming you have been playing with the options via Admin > Formats).

Give it a try and see how it goes - I'll be home after the weekend and lend a hand if you aren't getting good results yet.

;)

Hello, I have consulted on the forums in Spanish, but I have managed to clear my query, I know how to position the vertical scroll menu and scroll horizontally as in this example: ----> caferoyalbooks.com/index.php/shop/revisiting-utopia/

Help me Vaska!

Thanks Vaska. I didn't even see those options. They help a little but I don't want the text too wide, would sooner have two columns of text, or the option to start another column based on a set text height?

You can enclose you text in div's that will create a two column layout (as Vaska already suggested).
Just an example:

1. <div class='column'> Some text here</div><div class='column'> Some more text here</div>

and in your style.css

1. .column { width: 250px; }

Pindaros is filling in the blanks of my note - it might work.

thanks arsondpi and vaska. I'm pretty clueless with divs, or maybe I just like the simplicity of the existing controls. I'll keep it as it is I guess, thanks for your help though. I used WP for a long time and played with code etc, so really I just like to use the options that are here - I just wondered if I'd missed an option.

It might not solve the problem, but you can break up the text and put it between the images - just add it to the caption space. Give it a try - it's a rather nice way (in the right situations) to have a narrative with that format.

This is why I like indexhibit, nice one Vaska, hadn't thought of that option, looks good!

Hi caferoyalbooks and Vaska,
Vaska I like your suggestion about putting the text between the images.
can you please explicate me (if it's not very complicated) how to do it.
thanks

Just put it in the title/caption space on the images.

thanks Vaska for your replay, I added in the caption space, but my text is still on the bottom of the image ?

Vaska, I cannot get any text in between the images, it always stays below. Do you have any other suggestion? Thanks
