How do i put two modules side by side on the top or at the bottom of the page like mamboportal used to do, instead of putting them one above the other?

The advice will be relevant to the template you are using. It may already be capable of doing this...or you may need to customize it to do so. Using tables, you would need a nested table with 2 columns...put a unique module placeholder in each column, such as user1 and user2, then just assign 2 modules to those positions.

I would like to create top module with two or more columns displaying on the top...
At this moment it displays top modules one under another.

I checked the template and could not change that in the template, does anybody have any suggestions where to look?

This is the code of my template:

Code:

<!-- Top Modules -->
<?php
if (mosCountModules('top')>0) {
?>
<table class="contentpane" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><?php mosLoadModules ( "top" ); ?></td></tr>
</table><p />
<?php
}
?>

But if i use sth like User1, user2, i will close the content to some visitors...

First of all, there are many ways to achieve this. One way would be to replace:

Code:

<td width="100%"><?php mosLoadModules ( "top" ); ?></td>

with:

Code:

<td width="100%"><?php mosLoadModules ( "user1" ); ?></td><td width="100%"><?php mosLoadModules ( "user2" ); ?></td>

No...those are just module placeholder names...the others are left, right, top, bottom and inset. In your module manager, check the drop down box for position....they will all be listed. If the placeholder is in your template, modules will show up in this position if selected in module manager.

I have solved it like this

Code:

<!-- Top Modules -->
<table class="contentpane" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><?php mosLoadModules ( "top" ); ?></td>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><?php mosLoadModules ( "user1" ); ?></td>
</tr>
</table><p />
