#164 (in 2.5.0) vertical column headings

[Matthias Pizza]

hi

what I really miss are vertical field descriptions, especially in the usual 'browse' mode.

most of my values are (short) numbers and therefore the column widths are determined by their names. the
result is wide screens resp. many sheets of paper with lots of empty space: very hard to read sometimes.

my suggestions:
o how about an option to put a <br> (or something like that - html? never been there....) after each letter of the field name?
o or to rotate them 90 deg.?
o or be able to choose the (very small :-) font size?

thanks!

Wouldn't it help to use the vertical browse mode in this
case? Because:

- This <br /> thing just looks... strange...
- rotating a text is afaik not possible with XHTML 1.0 /
CSS 2.0... Perhaps we should suggest it for CSS 3.0 ;-)

But anyway I'll try to find a solution for this.

Hi!

.... and using a very small font size is not a solution: we
want to let end-user the possibility to change font size
and then we must use 'x-samll', 'small', 'medium'.... size
definitions.

Usually the printer driver should have the functionallity of rotating your
prints, perhaps not under Linux but under envs with sane printer
handling.

Alt: Convert pages to PDF/PS, and rotate them serverside.

I fixed this in my latest working directory. A patch/commit will
be up soon.

It's solved via CSS or via rotating field descriptors via a PHP
function.

Wait and see. :-)

This request is now a part of current CVS version (2.4.1-dev).
You can set the display mode to "horizontalflipped" and
decide whether to use CSS-functions or a PHP function to
rotate the headings. See if that satisfies your needs. :-)

Closed request.
