JoomlaJunkie - Joomla Template Provider Bringing color to the Joomla community

Hello,

I'm trying to change the width of the main body to 800px, i have modified the template_css.css
and it seems to be kinda working. it seems to be doing somewhat what i need it to do.
It basically it just having a hard time lining all the body contents such as header, content,
and footer alignment together.

Here is an example:

I think i've buggered up the template_css.css file to bad to fix, but hoping that i can just get
the right areas to change on a new one that way it will be right. Also noted: when i modify the
the template_css.css file it changes the menu.css and the customize.css file as well. I belive it should as it have relative parts.


I'm just tired of boring backgrounds, i've got killer layouts that will work great if i can solve this.

Cheers,
Mediaman

Hi Mm,
Can you post a copy of the layout you are wanting to achieve somewhere so i have something to compare against? At the moment it looks a bit like a dogs breakfast and i don't really understand what you are wanting to achieve
Thanks,
Chris

I'm trying to change width then I can make page's width fit phpbb's width

Hi profinuyasha

This particular template has a variety of elements that are fixed width, so there is no magic bullet way to change one value and have template go to 800px. It would really be a complete rework of the entire template.

I see you are trying to use a wrapper to embed phpBB inside Joomla. You should be able to set the width of the site you are trying to embed in the wrapper module. With a little bit of tweaking the forum should fit in there nicely. From my end it also looks like your forum width might be set too big currently.

On a related note wrapping a forum inside a Joomla wrapper has lot of annoying quicks and issues. just as a heads up a far friendlier way is to modify the phpbb template to include the joomla template header in the same way Joomla.org does. I know they just converted over to phpbb recently and I have read lots of useful tips on their forums about how it was completed. No sense in re-inventing the wheel right.

Hope that helps.

Okay, how can I find wrapper's width?
