Horizontal & Featured Listings With Styling

v4 Horizontal & Featured Listings Functions With CSS Styling

These two little functions produce nicely formatted horizontal listings of the latest adverts, your featured adverts and random adverts (used to avoid duplicated empty search results). They work both with the SEO module and without. The functions may be called from most pages but are a great way to spice up your home page with new content as it arrives. This can keep search engines more interested in your site.

The functions should be downloaded and placed in your smarty/plugins directory

Where is that? I have no such directory.

Sorry I will amend that on my site. I forget not everyone knows where smarty plugins are put. Feel free to modify them - you can take out the nofollow attributes if you wish for example. Do not foget the CSS code to go into your css/style.css file.

I think you will be able to pinch the code from external.php and re-use it in the function. You will also have to pass the category you want into the function.

for some reason it doesn't work corectly.

It shows listings as image + title under the image.

any idea how to get it in list format below?:

---------------------------------
image + title + town/state + price
---------------------------------
image + title + town/state + price
---------------------------------
image + title + town/state + price
---------------------------------
image + title + town/state + price
---------------------------------

The title of the module is called smarty_function_feature_listings_horizontal.

It works correctly as documented. You wish to do something different. It should be easy to adapt however. To make the adverts list out vertically, you can modify the function by changing the output line to put in a <br />.

$output .= '</div><br />';
$ads++;

To make it exactly as you desire you will need to play around with the css a little and take out the inner divs but keep the most outer div tag for the borders if you like them.

OR just use the supplied function which is standard in your plugins directory

function.feature_listings_vertical.php
