Hello Forum this is my first post here š
I am using a php script (view.default.php) in a Joomla module to display headings which to link to the full articles in my site.
Using the Joomla Module Manager, I can select either a one or two-column layout, choose the number of links to display from a category or section, select squared or rounded corners.
The problem which Iām having is that the html output for displaying the columns isn't quite right. My php code is outputting HTML with every article link inside a left and right column -
<div id="left-column"></div>
<div id="right-column"></div>
<div id="left-column"></div>
<div id="right-column"></div>
<div id="left-column"></div>
<div id="right-column"></div>
I would like the HTML outputted as a single left and a single right column with the article links inside each column as shown here..
<div id="left-column">
article link1
article link2
article link3
</div>
<div id="right-column">
article link4
article link5
</div>
This is the php module code I have been using -
<?php
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
for ($b = 0; (($this->news_amount - ($b * $this->news_column)) > 0); $b++) {
for ($c = 0; $c < $this->news_column; $c++) {
if ($this->news_column == 1) {
$div_class = 'center_column_class'; }
elseif ($this->news_column == 2) {
$div_class = ($c == 0) ? 'left_column_class' : 'right_column_class'; }
$column = ($b * $this->news_column) + $c;
//Start Left Column
if ($c == 0 && $this->news_column > 1) {
echo '<div id="'.$this->left_module_id.'">'."\n";
if ($this->leftrounded) {
echo '<div class="roundedflexable">'."\n";
echo '<div>'."\n";
echo '<div>'."\n";
echo '<div>'."\n";
if (isset($news_code_html_tab[$column])) {
echo $news_code_html_tab[$column]; }
}
if ($this->leftrounded) {
echo '</div></div></div></div>'; }
echo '</div>'; }
//End Left Column
//Start Right Column
if ($c != 0){
echo '<div id="'.$this->right_module_id.'">'."\n";
if ($this->rightrounded) {
echo '<div class="roundedflexable">'."\n";
echo '<div>'."\n";
echo '<div>'."\n";
echo '<div>'."\n";
if (isset($news_code_html_tab[$column])) {
echo $news_code_html_tab[$column]; }
}
if ($this->rightrounded) {
echo '</div></div></div></div>'."\n"; }
echo '</div>'."\n"; }
//End Right Column
}
}
?>

Could anybody possibly help me out, I am a total novice when it comes to php and it quickly goes over my head!
Thank you
