change this to a list group - other items

Other item format is a bit average, list group should fix this.

This uses the template:

core-list-item-simple.html

So we can change this a bit to the list group format.

Which is basically this layout

HTML

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item">An item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A second item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A third item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">A fourth item</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">And a fifth one</li>
</ul>

as i want it to be links, need to use the same classes and links instead.

HTML

<div class="list-group">
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active" aria-current="true">
    The current link item
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A second link item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A third link item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">A fourth link item</a>
  <a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">A disabled link item</a>
</div>

Changed templates to use the list-group.html and list-group-item.html rather than the core templates.

HTML - list-group-item.html

<a href="/view/[@class_name]/[@uid]/[@title_uid]/" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action" title='[@title]'>[@title]</a

HTML - list-group-card.html

a list group inside a card to make it neater.

<div class='card mb-3'>
  <h5 class='card-header'>[@title]</h5>
  <div class='card-body'>
    <div class="list-group">
      [@content]
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Updated quite easily once i found the function.

Now it looks something like this:

Which is quite a lot nicer than the simple links and also better for mobile as you can press anywhere on the element, and makes it a bit more like buttons.

PHP

if($class->category > " ") {
	$other_items_list_title = "Other Items in $class->category";
	$other_items_list = $class->list_all(
        $start = 0,
        $max = 50,
        $list_type = "category",
        $template_file = "list-group-item.html",
        $search_term = $class->category
      );

		$other_items_card_template = new template("list-group-card.html");
		$other_items_card_template->set("title", $other_items_list_title);
		$other_items_card_template->set("content", $other_items_list);
		$page_content .= $other_items_card_template->output();
}
