PHP template techniques
joomla provides some module related functions for template designers, mosCountModules & mosLoadModules being the most commonly used. A simple example would be a cell or div that only appears when there is a module in that position.
// if the count of modules published in the top position is greater than zero.
// load the top module position
// close the if action brackets
you can alter the output of the individual modules within a position using a style.
// with the default style of 0, modules displayed in a column (using a single table)
// with the style "1" you can display the modules horizontally (using tables within a row of cells in a wrapper table)
// with the style "-2" you can display the modules in a div tag
by using more complex if statements, you can dynamically control your layout with more precision. In this example, the table itself will only be displayed if there is a module in either the user7 or user8 position. The individual positions will only display their cell if they are populated. If both positions are populated then an extra spacer cell is also displayed.
alternately we could add required 'colspan' attributes to cells in higher rows to achieve a similar result.
