possibilities vertical screen setup?

[mcorver]

Hi all,

please see attached screenshot of a screen we built in Fabrik for a creditmanagement application. I am aware we could have a more professional look AND much more info on one screen if we could set up vertically rather than horizontally. The blue bars in the attached screenshot are the headers of linked tables joined to the main source of data. Is there any way we can make this appear vertically, so for instance buttons on the left (are now on top of group), general data/info to the right of that, and the invoice and notes info further to the right?

Appreciate your comments
Maurice

See your thread http://www.fabrikar.com/forums/inde...dress-issue-moved-from-incorrect-forum.40767/

Your form is looking like using the bluesky template.
You have to use new templates with Joomla3 anyway

I don't see what the one thread has to do with the other? As indicated we do not have Joomla 3 yet. Are you saying that there is a template that will allow vertical buildup of the screens?

No. But any work you are doing now on J! 2.5 Fabrik templates has to be done again after you have Joomla3.

Can you post a screendhot (jpg) of what you mean with vertical buildup?

Attached a really quick and dirty sketch. So all the same elements in it that we have (see the first attachment in the thread) but with the joint subgroups to the right of the main form iso below.

thanks in advance

Better upload an image...

It should be possible by adding custom CSS to the template.
Do you know how to?

Edit your groups and reset to 1 column.
Edit custom_css.php, set group 1+2 to float:left, set group width and height and group 3+4 to overflow:auto

Should this layout be responsive?

One of my programmers is getting the hang of css; will check with him, thanks!
Wrt your question on responsiveness, no, we don't see people using this from many other places than their work computer, so we built the application on the minimum width expected to be visible on all desktops
