How to create listings?

{LOOP}

In order to list entries on your database you need to use {LOOP} tag. LOOP tag consist of three parts.
1) LOOP:form_name
2) LOOP:else (optional)
3) LOOP:end (must)

Let me explain this to you with an example. Let's say you wanted to list blog post on your site.

{LOOP:blog_posts}

   {title}
   ---------
   {body}

{LOOP:else}

   No posts yet!.

{LOOP:end}

On loop tag you need to specify the exact form name which you want to list the results of. If {LOOP:else} tag is specified, the code between loop tag and loop:else tag will be replaced with real data and repeatedly printed on the page. If loop:else tag is specified and there is no data to display the data between loop:else tag and loop:end tag will be printed on the screen.

Let's say you want to list you entries in a column order you can specify column number on LOOP tag as a third parameter and it will print results as a table.

{LOOP:blog_posts:4} will print results in 4 columns, 5th result will start in a new row.
