Hi together,

is it possible to show the top rated and recently added modules in two columns?
I puplished them in the top position of my template (see screenshot) and at the moment the modules get to big if i show 4 or more albums.
I want to show the last/best 6 albums, 3 in each colum.

Is it possible to modify the modules in this way? Or is this a modification on the template?

Would be nice if anybody can help me.
Greetings,

you can try to modify the template

modules/mod_muscol_recently_added/tmpl/default.php

but probably the best way is to modify only the CSS properties (I was thinking on something like "float:left;width:100px" and so on the DIV containing each album on the module.)

you'll need some CSS skills

Hi Germi,

thanks - i tried to modify the template and the css file but my skills are not good enough.:blush:
I think i will puplish three modules in the top and only the last 3 new/best albums are visible.

Ha now it works

i just modified the first entry in the css of the module recently added

.recently_added_album{
padding:4px;
padding-bottom:2px;
padding-top:2px;
float:left;
width:160px;
and now it looks like:

Hi germi,

i updated now to version 1.5
All works great but i have one problem with the recently added module

i changed it (with your help) in to columns. now if i add a new album with a picture the layout is destroyed (see screenshot)
if i remove the album picture all looks good.
Do you have any idea? i have the thumbnails on static

the "top rated" module is not affected
