number of columns and cutoff text

[anonymous_user]

My resolution is 1280x1024 and WPI wont let me use more than 2 columns. Any ideas?

Also when using 2 columns, the text for the bottom-most app (in first column) is cutoff. What can I do about that?

open 'useroptions.js' in WPIScripts and search for 'NumCols=3;' --> example here is 3 columns

2nd in your themes folder open wpi.htm with notepad and look for:

case '1024':

maxentries=35;

break;

--> change maxentries to a minor value and the text won't be cut-off

Hope this helps

3 collumns are ok here.

there is a section at the top of all themes that allow you to set the number of entries per collumn. Lemme look it up.

<script type="text/javascript">

// maxentries += 3; // Set your custom number of items per column

Simply change the maxentries part to your adjustment needed.

Sorry djpro but that is now wayy old news for those they no longer exist.

Oh, good to know Kel.

Still working with an older release...

No, DJPro is somewhat correct. But the proper method is to edit the maxentries line in the theme wpi.htm.

In your case, maxentries -= 1;

You may have to do up to 3 for it to take full affect.

As far as the number of columns go, do you have enough entries to fill 3 columns? WPI doesn't break them up automatically, it fills one column, goes to next, etc. NumCols is the MAXIMUM number per page.

One thing I don't like that WPI does is shift the items over 1 column leaving the first one blank when categories are longer than 1 column (carries over to second). Looking in to it......

It worked thanks.

Ok that explains it. Thanks.
