I've thought about doing this for a while. These are thumbnail preview images of SOME of the funny movie clips you have uploaded here. I'm still deciding on the layout, such as making a "grid vs a list" before I continue with the rest of the clips.

Please give me your feedback, whether you think this is a waste of time, or if you would like to see the images arranged a certain way. We will still upload the movies to the Misc Video forum, this is just linking to the uploads from that forum.

Click on the images below to watch the clip.

Cool! I would definitely run them in horizontal rows with the clip titles under the thumbnails. :popcorn:

That's what I ultimately want to do. I'm not sure if I can do that though. I'd line up 3 or so in a row horizontally, but I'm afraid the text wouldn't line up.

Is there a way to input data in a simple spreadsheet form? Just so I could get some columns?

Can you use HTML tables? Let's see:
<table>
<tr>
<td>col1</td>
<td>col2</td>
<td>col3</td>
</tr>
</table>

Edit: Guess not. Looks like phpBB completely ignores any tags that aren't img, a, i, b, or u.

If we could find something like that, then we'd be in business. Otherwise, I'm trying to place the text just right so it will line up in columns. That's pretty hard to do.

This is the only way so far that I can think of lining them up in a grid form, rather than just vertically. I have to "place" the text just right, by adding the dots. It's a painful process, and I don't like it. But, this is the ultimate layout style I had in mind. It just takes too long to place it all. Plus, I'd like a little more room for descriptive text.

In the phpBB configuration, you have to permit specific HTML tags. Go to General Admin : Configuration. Under the header for "User and Basic Forum Settings" is:

Quote: Allowed HTML tags
Separate tags with commas

In the list that follows, add: "table, tr, td" and you'll have tables available. You can add th, if you want to use header cells.

Of course, then everyone could use tables if they wished - that's up to you, whether you'd want to permit that trade-off.

Make that change in the configuration, then try this code:


Code:
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">

That's it dude! That's exactly what I'm looking for. I tested these settings out on a sample forum that I have, and it worked. :hail2thechief: :2thumbs:

Now, I'll talk to the big man, accadacca, and see if this is what we want to do. As of the moment, I'm not seeing any disadvantage to letting everybody access this feature. (I don't think anybody will use it).

In the meantime, thanks a lot man. You made my night. :cool2:
