    Personally, I use the Split plugin for two columns. You could certainly do something like

    The normal table and fancy table are not really what you want to use.

    You would then have to edit the tiki-view_articles.tpl (will impact all articles, both in wiki pages via the ARTICLES plugin and the articles feature) to change the layout of the image wrt title.

    Hi Gary.
    I was trying the above code suggestion of yours to get a two column article listing for a homepage.

    ===========
    quoteyou wrote;
    """""
    Personally, I use the Split plugin for two columns. You could certainly do something like;

    Copy to clipboard
    {SPLIT()}
{ARTICLES(start=>44,max=>1)}{ARTICLES}
---
{ARTICLES(start=>2,max=>1)}{ARTICLES}
{SPLIT}

    """""
    /quote
    ===========
    I just did a cut/paste of the above. Sure enough, I got two columns, but they both displayed the SAME articles. Like this:

    I didn't see the "start" parm documented anywhere, but I was guessing that it was sort of an "offset" or something.

    I'd like to have two columns, but show the first 5 (or so) articles on the left of the wiki page, then continue with articles 6 thru (say) 10 on the right column of the split wiki page.

    Am I making any sense? Can you or anyone assist with a hint?

    (btw/ what is the purpose and syntax of the "start" parameter?)

    Regards, -sd
