Hi Folks,

Quick question hopefully …

In this template there are modules user9-12 down the bottom.

If I want to create user13-16 and have two rows of these modules, how would I do that?

I have read the other threads and posts regarding creating modules but I broke my site and had to restore so I was hoping someone could give me a basic step x step.

Thanks

Luke

You can create new custom html modules and assign them to user 9-12 also. They will appear under the original modules in user 9-12 positions.

That would be the easiest way.

Hope this help.
Cheers,
Jason.

You know what … it is always the simplest solution that never springs to mind … 🙂

Thanks for the answer. I feel like an idiot for not having thought of that.

I have followed the advice and lo and behold it works, I can have 2 x user9 modules and they are placed one over the other as I wanted.

I can’t seem to create space between them – I have played with the margin settings in template.css and I can’t seem to get it right.

I have attached a screen grab of the modules in question – or have a look at http://www.snarkhunters.com

🙂 If you can tell me how to make some space I’ll be your best friend. 🙂

Thanks,

Luke

In template.css (line 754) change:

div.moduletable {
margin:0;
padding:0 15px;
}

To:

div.moduletable {
margin:10px;
padding:0 15px;
}

Adjust the 10px to suit.

Hope this helps,
Jason.

Hey Jason,

Sorry to be a pain …

Okay – that worked except that it seems to have caused the module at the top to have that buffer as well … (see attached – or snarkhunters.com)

Any thoughts? Is it possible to have one nicely spaced without affecting the other?

Thanks,

Luke

No worries, try:

div.moduletable {
margin:0;
padding:10px 15px;
}

See how that goes, its hard for me too see the overall details when using firebug so let me know.:)

Hey …

Still making that JABulletin module have a bit of a gap before starting so it isn’t in line with top of page. Does that make sense?

Yeah, I understand. It looks like you might have to bite the bullet and create new module positions etc. after all, unless a css expert can help out. I’ll have a play with the sanidine on my local machine and post back if I have any success.

Hehe thanks …

Which brings me back to my initial “i am not sure how to create new module positions” question. I broke it trying last time.

Ha ha, I know the feeling. You might be better starting a new thread and hopefully one of the coding experts will see it and help out.
