Hi,

I would like to configure my Portal but I don't know how well, I already visited the Portal Setings in ACP but the thing I want isn't there, I want to manually control the modules because all boxes are in left I want the other to be put in right and a news from news and updates section appear in the center of the portal.
If you have some basic html knowledge you could edit the Portal template in the ACP and do exactly what you described.
Ohh thanks I didn't think of that xD.
Now, the same question, but how do you get to that exact template which decides the left, middle, right situation? Which Templates do you want me to edit?
In the "portal" template you'll find code like:
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" border="0" align="center">
<tr><td valign="top" width="200">
{$welcome}
{$pms}
{$search}
{$stats}
{$whosonline}
{$latestthreads}
</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">
{$announcements}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

See the comments annotating the code:
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" border="0" align="center">
<tr><td valign="top" width="200">
<!-- START LEFT COLUMN -->
{$welcome}
{$pms}
{$search}
{$stats}
{$whosonline}
{$latestthreads}
<!-- END LEFT COLUMN -->
</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">
<!-- START CENTER COLUMN -->
{$announcements}
<!-- END CENTER COLUMN -->
</td>

<!-- ADD THE FOLLOWING LINES FOR A RIGHT COLUMN -->
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" width="200">
<!-- START RIGHT COLUMN -->
Stuff in the right column
<!-- END RIGHT COLUMN -->
</td>
<!-- END OF CODE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED FOR A RIGHT COLUMN -->

</tr>
</table>
Wow, thank you very much DennisTT, great help! Big Grin
