Entry tags:layouts: family tree, question: layouts

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good table/code I could use as a parents table?

Thanks.

Do you need icons for the parents, or just names?

This uses the same basic principle as the nesting tables castlist I coded last month; in this case each family is a table of its own, each inside a cell of a larger table, making it easy to move 'em around if you need to, as well as define a separate visual distinction. Change fonts, colors, spacing, anything you like! If you have questions, glance over the castlist version, if you still do, hit me up and I'll answer them as best as I'm able! :)

  1. Open your table with this:
  2. Per row, use this:
  3. Per family (I'd suggest 4 per row, 3 or 5 could work) use this:
  4. If you have more than one child per family, find this section of code: , copy it, and paste it IMMEDIATELY after the original.
  5. At the end of each row, use this:
  6. At the end of the table, use this:

Looks like so:

Mother Name
Father Name
Child Name
Mother Name
Father Name
Child Name
Mother Name
Father Name
Child Name
Child Name
Mother Name
Father Name
Child Name
code by quibblercons available at rp_tutorials

This is totally random and unrelated, but I saw your user name and had to geek a bit. I'm using one of the layouts (which I believe) you made and it's simply amazing. I have credit up and all that, I just wanted to give a personal thank you as it's truly a gorgeous, slick journal.

Actually, you have a (slightly modified, it looks like) layout by Liz! :D She's ~grrliz on LJ, and the layout comes from a community called ~thefulcrum, right here. Liz lets people use her CSS as a starting point for creating their own Bloggish layouts, so long as they credit her back, which I've done in the past so that may be where you've seen our names together. All of my layouts can be found at [info]quibblercons, a few of them are public over at mintyapple. But, I completely agree with you, that layout (as well as most all of Liz's layouts, really) is very lovely!

Aha! Would it be too nosy of me to ask which layout it is? XD I always like knowing which ones people like for future layout making styles.

Thank you. I'll be tweeking it a bit and post here to let you know what it looks like when I'm done :)

I do have a question however. I can't get the tables to go side by side, instead they go under each other like this.

[info]t_quibbler

You have each cell in it's own row. :) I'll use parenthesis instead of < and >here, to show you how a table code is structured?

(table etc.)
(tr - this defines a row)
(td - this defines a cell)info info info(/td)
(td - this defines another cell in the same row)info info info(/td)
(td - and a third)info info info(/td)
(/tr - defines the end of a row)

Right now, yours is like this:

(table etc.)
(tr)
(td)info info info(/td)
(/tr)
(tr)
(td)info info info(/td)
(/tr)
(tr)
(td)info info info(/td)
(/tr)
(tr)
(td)info info info(/td)
(/tr)
(/table)

Does that make any sense, or have I just confused you further? :(

I tired it without line breaks and I still get the same thing.

How many families would you like in each row? :)

[info]slytherdor

Four. I'm sorry if I'm not catching on well.

[info]t_quibbler

No, I'm not explaining myself well! :) Technically there aren't any linebreaks in that code, but because it's tables within tables, it gets more confusing. Try this:

(to start the table)
(for each row)
(to close the table)
