I have a database with 32 columns, mostly TEXT. In table view, all the columns come out very narrow and tall, and are still not displayable without scrolling horizontally.
Is there a way to create multiple table rows per record? I need to have all fields displayed for searching purposes: something like:
| Code: |
-------------
Col1 Col2 Col3 ... Col10
Col11 Col12 Col13 ... Col20
Col21 Col22 Col23 ...Col32
-------------
Col1 Col2 Col3 ... Col10
Col11 Col12 Col13 ... Col20
Col21 Col22 Col23 ...Col32
-------------

Extending the $opts['fdd']['colname']['tab'] functionality to the table view would be a nice mod in the interim.
I looked at the trimlen|LF options, but this trims off info that may be important to see while scrolling through the table.
Or do I just need to RTFM more?

Doug: thanks for the ideas.
Since the only way to initiate a search is apparently from List view, and I do need to be able to search on ANY column, perhaps what you suggest is workable: list only a few, but put everything up for filtering.
The problem then is an all-or-nothing scenario: either you look at everything in Filter mode (so you can see what you search on) or just your List mode fields (which might not include your search criteria).
Sigh...

does trimming long fields to shorter help? (it's still only a workaround)

Trimming helps a bit. In the interim I've also suppressed less essential fields in List view while displaying them in all other views. Clunky but usable.
More layout control would be nice, though.
