Hay all im building a news aggregator with SimplePie, the SP elements are working fine but I would like to have the feeds that it pulls in displayed in columns across the page using HTML5 and CSS3. I have managed to implement it so that the columns are formed and display the feeds, but at the moment the
stories are being ordered one on to of the other from left to right with the newest being displayed top left, the second newest bellow the first in column one and so on. What I would like is for the
stories to be displayed from left to right across the column so that the newest is at the top of the first column, the second newest at the top of the second column, the third newest in the third column and so on.
The code that Im using at the moment is as follows:
<div id="page-wrap">
<?php if ($feed->error): ?>
<p><?php echo $feed->error; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item): ?>
<div class="chunk">
<h4 style="background:url(<?php $feed = $item->get_feed(); echo $feed->get_favicon(); ?>) no-repeat; text-indent: 25px; margin: 0 0 10px;"><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h4>
<p class="footnote">Source: <a href="<?php $feed = $item->get_feed(); echo $feed->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php $feed = $item->get_feed(); echo $feed->get_title(); ?></a> | <?php echo $item->get_date('j M Y | g:i a T'); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
And this CSS:
#page-wrap {
width: 100%;
margin: 25px auto;
height:400px;
text-align: justify;
-moz-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-gap: 1.5em;
-moz-column-rule: 1px solid #c4c8cc;
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-webkit-column-gap: 1.5em;
-webkit-column-rule: 1px solid #c4c8cc;
}
If anyone could help me out with this that would be great.
