News in 2 columns option

Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2007 10:43 am

An option to turn on and off dual columns for the news module in the rnconfig file would be nice. I like the 2 column look but don't want NSN News just to achieve it. This mod from Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! worked great on my site and is a simple mod of the News index file. Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! Great job on RN 2.10. Thank you.

That mod takes only seconds to make and can probably be done just as quickly as turning it on/off in rnconfig.php
Thanks for posting the link.

Thank for this post nuken. I was considering installing NSN News just to be able to have 2 columns, but this makes things a whole lot easier. Smile

It is alot easier. You will probably need to adjust the cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" to "1" to get it to display correctly depending on what theme you use. Im sure you know that though.

Still works, but couldn't find first item. Instead look for the while

Code:

while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {

line 121

Would be nice if it was implemented and the $itemsPerRow = 2; variable moved to config or themes. Would seem logical to have small themes 1 column and wide themes 2 columns (3 on special extreme setup)

No this should work for all topics.
