Can anyone help?
is it possible to display the 'entries' in rows of 2 or 3, rather that single rows vertically
I have about 10 'listing's in a section of CMS builder and you have to scroll down, it would minimize the scroll, if I could double them up.
Many Thanks,
Proweb

Just to clarify before I answer - do you mean in the admin program or when you display the content on the website?
Let me know.

Sorry, I meant the 'final' content on the website
Many Thanks,

Ok, yes, you can do that.
The first step is to create a mockup of how you want it to look.
Next, there are a few ways to do it. A pure CSS way is to put each "entry" in a div and left float them inside a larger container.
A PHP way is to create a table, keep track of which "entry" we're on and insert a closing/opening row tag every 3 rows - like this: (replace $yourRecords and title with the names from your viewer code).
<table border="1">
<?php foreach ($yourRecords as $record): ?>
<td><?php echo $record['title'] ?></td>
<?php $maxCols=3; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?>
</tr><tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>If you're not sure where to begin start with the mockup of how you want it to look. And feel free to post any questions back to this thread.
Hope that helps.
