Basic Search Layout

[pkubat]

We have added two drop-down custom fields to the contacts search. Being they are displayed as multi-select listbox the layout if messed up. Just four fields, but it wraps, and is really hard to "read'

Is there a means to control they layout of the basic search for contacts?

So you want to ensure these dropdowns fields will be rendered as real dropdown fields on Search Form, right?

So you need to add the attrbute

 'displayParams' -> array(
  'size' => 1,
), 
  

On dropdown field defs at searchdefs.php

Thanks André!

That's 1/2 the question. Now the dropdowns are drop downs!

But it still wraps the fourth field to the next line. They all are 10% width. See the attached screenshot.

I´m not sure I got your question, so I´ll answer what I understood.

By default SugarCRM render 3 fields per row on Search Form.

Thanks again.

So I added templateMeta to override, but it does not work. Is this the correct means to override the number of columns?

 $searchdefs ['Contacts'] =
array (
  'templateMeta' => array('maxColumns' => '5',
   'widths' => array('label' => '10', 'field' => '30')),
  'layout' =>
  array (
    'basic_search' =>
    array (
