Description

This code snippet will change the layout of your search page to allow more descriptive rich text content. With a couple of lines of CSS, you can have a search page that will not only surface rich text of the RichTextEditor, but make the description from media uploaded by members of your community easier to read.

EXAMPLE:

search_css.jpg


Step 1: Surface untruncated titles and rich text description content while hiding the truncated title

Code

body#ka_listPage .ka_listTitle_trunc {display:none;}
body#ka_listPage .ka_listDesc, body#ka_listPage .ka_listTitle_full {display:block;}




Step 2: Change layout of search list so content is horizontal and thumbnails are floated to the left

Code

body#ka_listPage .ka_searchLetterBox {float:left}
body#ka_listPage .ka_searchListDetails {float:left;height:auto !important;margin:0;min-height:90px;width:580px;}
body#ka_listPage li.ka_list {width:730px;height:auto;padding-bottom:30px;}
Note: In the sample code above you'll notice the width for li.ka_list is set to 730px. Depending on the width you've set for #ka_mainContainer and #ka_contentContainer you'll have to adjust the width of .ka_searchListDetails
