Changing number of default columns in the main display

[lovebyte27]

Hi folks,
Complete newbie here

I was wondering if there was a way to change the number of columns in the details and edit views of modules?
Right now the default is 4 columns (2 labels and 2 input columns).
I would like to set up a page with 6 columns. Is this possible?

Thanks

In editviewdefs.php, you need to set

maxColumns' => '3',

For detailview you need to do the same in detailviewdefs.php

Hi crmsiva,

Thanks for the quick reply.
However, I have changed the settings and even after doing a quick repair on the module, it is still displaying only 4 columns.

Will this work with custom modules?

Do you know if there are any plans to make the module builder or studio interface more "user firendly"? By this I mean having the ability to modify the number of columns displayed, chaing the font for labels, the font zise of labels and text fields, etc.

I am asking because I have noticed in the Studio, you cannot go and change some of the properties for the default fields like the size of the field, the font or font size, etc

Thanks

Make sure you have made the changes in custom/modules/<module name>/metadata/detailviewdefs.php and custom/modules/<module name>/metadata/editviewdefs.php

And no need for a quick repair. Just enable the developer mode.
