Hi Jeroen,

Awesome plugin, thank you very much.

I have a couple of formatting issues with the columns

Is it possible to make the search result columns of equal length when multiple results are returned?

I also selected to underline each entry, but the last one does not contain the underline, is there a way to control this so all results appear the same?

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

thanks for using my plugin and thank you for your kind words! If you are familiair with using CSS you can do all these things.

I have setup classes that you can use to style it. You can find the list of styleable elements here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/name-directory/#can%20i%20customize%20the%20appearance%20%2F%20styling%20of%20the%20name%20directory%3F

I hope this helps you. Please let me know.

Kind regards,

Jeroen Peters

Thanks Joroen,

Yes I’ve looked at the elements, I guess I need to spend more time chasing the styling of the column lengths to have them of equal length when displaying results.

Is there a way to place a line under the last entry in each list, rather than just “Show line between names” from the settings options? It would just tidy up the displayed results.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

if you place this in the footer, I think it would work:
```
<script>
jQuery('.name_directory_name_box:last-child').after("<hr>");
</script>
```
Let me know if that works for you.

Kind regards,

Thanks Jeroen,

that jquery works a treat and exactly what I was after. THANK YOU

I’m still having a problem making each column the same length. I am able to set padding, margins, etc with CSS but cannot get them to display results in equal length columns

Hey @markdowning ,

I am not sure what you mean by length? Do you mean the height? If that’s the case, it looks fine to me right now (in Google Chrome). Also, the width looks correctly.

Kind regards,

Jeroen Peters

Hi Jeroen,

Sorry, I meant the length of each column. If you select the letter M for example, the results are not spread equally over the 3 columns. The center one is longer than columns 1 & 3. Is there a way to control this?

Instead of
1 4 8
2 5 9
3 6
7

Have it display like this
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9

Appreciate your assistance
Regards,
Mark
