Hey everybody,

Since a few days I’m testing about styling the Ja Purity II, Joomla 1.5.
At my site: http://geschichte-wissen.de I want to add a background color at the big white space outside the content. The content should stay white.
But all I tried failed. Can you give me adive?

I added a screenshot how it should look.

I found a tutorial how to configure the ja framework http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_Template_Framework/FAQs#Changing_wrapper_look – i followed the steps but nothing happened 🙁

Thanks for your help! 🙂

I would strongly recommend that you use Joomla 2.5.4…..

I have not done this with J1.5 but here is similar thread for J2.5. Idea will be the same but if you specific help with the css bitte fragen!

Hey swissa,

thanks for your reply. I read the thread and watched the result of the changes at the site of the person, who asked about the changes. Unfortunately its not the look I want. (und nochmal in Deutsch: Ich habe mir den Pfad angeschaut und die Seite, die der Fragende mit deiner Hilfe erstellt hat: Leider ist es nicht ganz das, was ich mir vorgestellt habe. Das Bild unten zeigt, wie es aussieht. Ein Update auf 2.5 ist so ohne weiteres bei einer relativ großen Seite, wie der meinen, nicht ohne weiteres machbar. Trotzdem schonmal herzlichen Dank, wäre toll, wenn du mir weiter helfen könntest)

My page should look like this:

Is this possible? I’m not very familiar with css, so a step-to-step tutorial would be really nice.

Best wishes

Sali mariachi,

I think you need to add a new <div> to ensure that you cover the whole template to achieve this easily. Whilst I’ve added module positions etc, I haven’t done this before. I hope someone who has done this can offer the quickest way to do it.

Doing it with css alone will be quite hard work. :((

Viel Glück!
