Hi,

I’m trying to find the template file ja_zite_blog that is referenced in the guide, so that I can change the width of the blog. Thing is, I can’t find this template anywhere. I did a search through the folder structure and couldn’t find it. Any ideas? I’ve probably just missed something obvious.

Reference is here: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-zite-for-joomla-2-5-userguide/

“As you can see on our Demo, each parent category uses different template: Blog uses ja_zite_blog template while All Content type use ja_zite template. The template has content block and right side to display modules. The content block is 720 pixel in wide.

Note: each template gives you totally different layout in front-end.”

I also looked at this forum post where the result was in the k2.css, but I couldn’t see how to modify the content block directly, only the padding within it.

Cheers,
Aaron

Thanks :), I was thinking about 140px on the left hand side, and 170 odd on the right hand side. I would then want to push the other elements out to each side. If possible, I’d prefer this new sizing to be only for overall the blog page, and individual blog posts, not the rest of the website.

Thanks very much for your help, cheers,
Aaron

This will help you do that

Open templates/ja_zite/etc/layouts/default.xml file

From


<blocks name="middle" colwidth="32">
<block name="left1">position-7</block>
<block name="right2">position-5</block>
</blocks>


change to


<blocks name="middle" colwidth="17">
<block name="left1">position-7</block>
<block name="right2">position-5</block>
</blocks>
