Display tag search results as panel, not as list

When a tag hits on many items, they are currently displayed as a single column list.

This maximizes scrolling effort and minimizes information access via the tag system.

Can tag search results be displayed as a panel, not as list?

can you take a screenshot of what it is now and maybe explain more how you'd like it to look please.

Thanks.

A screenshot of the top of the tag results page is attached.

The results are displayed in a single column for three pages. Since my laptop screen is small, and the profile image size remains constant under all circumstances, the amount of scrolling and page switching needed is rather discouraging, and mostly empty space is displayed.

This is something that would be very difficult to implement and get right for everybody.

What the tags is outputting is a list of things tagged with somthign. its a list. you can have audio items, gallery items, blog posts, products and anything else that can be tagged in that single list.

* gallery image
* gallery image
* blog post
* forum post
* gallery image
* audio file
* ....

Currently each module provides a template for how a single item is formatted in a list and that is used to create the tags output list.

On a single site you can customize this by adjusting the jrTags 'tag_list.tpl' template and CSS to get it into a panel layout because you can determine the types of things that are going to appear in the list. If its just gallery images then its easier to do.

Hmmm - I wonder if something like a "list manager" module could be designed to work on top of lists from multiple sources and format them in various ways for display?

Or can the jrTags 'tag_list.tpl' template be adjusted to display all lists as panels, for wide screens (not for mobile phones)?

At the moment I cannot imagine any situation where the long column list would be preferable as a default for wide screens.

Thanks.
