hi. can anyone tell me what i need to change to get products and brochure fragments in 2 columns scrolling down instead of the default 1 column?
thanks

You cannot do this for the brochure fragments but can do this for the Sections. Take a look in Design | Options | Sections .. enhance the 'First Row Column Count:' and 'Subsequent Row Column Count' to 2 to get the section list to appear in 2 columns. You will have to modify a template to get Products to appear as you want them to. Take a look at the Advanced Users Guide for v6 that you can download from the downloads area on the Actinic site.

Kind regards,

A hack for the fragments is to use a "text only" fragment and embedd an HTML table between !!< and >!! in the text area to create a faux 2 columns.

Depending on how good your CSS is this can also be done using 2 floated <div> elements also in a text only fragment

Welcome to the world of Actinic pre version 8!

You can use HTML / CSS in the text fragment or if feeling adventurous Norman has a donationware hack over at www.drillpine.biz for multiple columns and products - this can be adapted for the brochure pages to create multiple columns
