<div class="posthaven-post-body">
I recently ran into the following problem: I needed to be able to display a list of users in a table that had a maximum of X columns. Since I could not find the solution on the Internet I decided to give it a try and here is my resulting template filter to do it: def tablecols(data, cols): rows = \[\] row = \[\] index = 0 for user in data: row.append(user) index = index + 1 if index % cols == 0: rows.append(row) row = \[\] \# Still stuff missing? if len(row) \> 0: rows.append(row) return rows
register.filter_function(tablecols) Then you can use it in your templates like so: \<table\> {% for row in members\|tablecols:5 %} \<tr\> {% for member in row %} \<td\> {% show_simple_profile member user %} \</td\> {% endfor %} \</tr\> {% endfor %} \</table\> It will break down the "members" list into a list of lists, each of the first being a group of (in this case) 5 users max.
Have fun :)
