#1: How to have 2 news side by side? Author: Andreas, Location: Gävle, Sweden

Hi!

I am wondering how I can make two newsitems side by side instead of 1 by 1 as they are now.

I want the boxes like this:

NEWS - NEWS
NEWS - NEWS

Not like it's now:

NEWS
NEWS
NEWS

How do I do this and where?

Yes you can by using something like this

PHP:

<!-- DEFINE $LEFT_ARTICLE = true -->
<!-- BEGIN newstopic -->
  <!-- IF $LEFT_ARTICLE -->
    <div class="newsarticle">
    <!-- DEFINE $LEFT_ARTICLE = false -->
  <!-- ELSE $LEFT_ARTICLE -->
    <div class="newsarticle2">
    <!-- DEFINE $LEFT_ARTICLE = true -->
  <!-- ENDIF -->

"DEFINE $LEFT_ARTICLE = VALUE" does it and then you use the value in the IF, ELSEIF, ELSE, ENDIF structure

Ofcourse you can also remove the define by using

Code::

instead of the 2 <div> you can also use a <table> if your CSS knowledge is limited

Ok, I'd rather ask for help just incase. This is from my index.html file in News, what do I change. This theme seems to use <table>...

Code::


<!-- BEGIN newscat -->

<table class="newsindex"><tr><td>

  <center><font class="title">{newscat.S_SITENAME}: {newscat.S_TOPIC_T}</font><br /><br />

  <form action="{newscat.U_SEARCH}" method="post" {I18N}>

  <input type="hidden" name="topic" value="{newscat.I_TOPIC}" />

    {newscat.S_SEARCHON}: <input type="name" name="search" size="30" maxlength="255" />&nbsp;&nbsp;

    <input type="submit" value="{newscat.S_SEARCH}" />

  </form>

  [ <a href="{newscat.U_HOME}">{newscat.S_GOHOME}</a> | <a href="{newscat.U_TOPICS}">{newscat.S_SELECT}</a> ]</center>

</td></tr></table><br />

<!-- END newscat -->

<!-- BEGIN newstopic -->

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr> 
    <td width="23">
	<img src="themes/noobt/images/blocks/ntnew_r1_c1.gif" alt="" width="23" height="41" /></td>
    <td width="100%" class="block-center-title"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td><font size="3"><b>&nbsp;{newstopic.S_TITLE}</b></font></td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
    <td width="23">
	<img src="themes/noobt/images/blocks/ntnew_r1_c3.gif" alt="" width="23" height="41" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr valign="top"> 
    <td class="block-center-leftside">
	<img src="themes/noobt/images/blocks/ntnew_r2_c1.gif" alt="" width="23" height="11" /></td>
    <td bgcolor="#BDC1DB"><a href="{newstopic.U_NEWTOPIC}">
    <img src="{newstopic.IMG_TOPIC}" alt="{newstopic.S_TOPIC}" border="0" align="right" /></a>

  <br />

  <font size="1" color="#035D8A">{newstopic.S_POSTEDBY} {newstopic.S_INFORMANT} {newstopic.S_ON} {newstopic.S_TIME} {newstopic.S_READS}</font><br /><br />

  <font size="2" color="#000000">{newstopic.S_STORY}

  <!-- IF newstopic.S_NOTES -->

  <br /><br /><b>{newstopic.S_NOTE}</b> <i>{newstopic.S_NOTES}</i>

  <!-- ENDIF -->

  </font><br /><br />

  <font size="2">{newstopic.S_MORELINK}</font></td>
    <td class="block-center-rightside">
	<img src="themes/noobt/images/blocks/ntnew_r2_c3.gif" alt="" width="23" height="11" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td width="23"><img src="themes/noobt/images/blocks/ntnew_r4_c1.gif" alt="" width="23" height="20" /></td>
    <td class="block-center-bottom"></td>
    <td width="23"><img src="themes/noobt/images/blocks/ntnew_r4_c3.gif" alt="" width="23" height="20" /></td>
  </tr>
</table><br />

<!-- END newstopic -->

Like I stated in the other thread, have you checked out the 'quad module'?

Here's a complete and useful answer :

The block is called 'NSN Center 4 Blocks' it was at one time available via the download section here but it is no longer available here. It is however available via bigtank.dk, but they do require a free reg to download it, I tried it once but could not get it to work, but you may have more luck with it then I did.

I can get the nsn to show up on the frontpage either. I got it to work while in admin but it wont pick it up on the frontpage.
Heres the info from the readme about porting it.

Unless you have met the above license requirements, you do not have the right to port this, and I'm quite sure DJ would not sanction this. This particular part of the discussion should not be continued in this forum.

Understood, and good to see someone appreciates what licensing means - problem is that there is no indication that mortal had approval. I would say it was removed from downloads because mortal required registration for download, but could equally have been because of the breach of license conditions.
