You have basically 2 ways to do this:
- use nested rows and columns controllers to achieve whatever layout
you need
<portlets>
<controller name="OneColumn">
<portlets>
<controller name="OneRow">
<-- 1st row of portlets -->
</portlets>
<portlets>
<controller name="OneRow">
<-- 2nd row of portlets -->
</portlets>
<portlets>
<controller name="OneRow">
<-- 2nd row of portlets -->
</portlets>
</portlets>
The main issue with this method is that it's not trivial to personalize
through the web
interface.
- implement another MultiColumnController that handles new "width" and
"height" parameters
for laying out portlets. Note that such a scheme may impact how the
portlets are displayed on
the page since you'll either have to depend a pure table layout (and
thus get a fixed height per row layout constraint) or use pure CSS-P to
get optimal positioning.
