Ok, there’s probably a simple answer, but for the life of me I can’ t see how to change the ja-main, and ja-right widths. Any help would be appreciated. 🙂 Thanks!

Hello jukeboxjunkey

Well that can be solved.. but I must warn you to be very careful with these changes.
Please backup template before doing any of these changes.

So let’s begin with changing ja-main width:
01. Open “main.php” in “templates/ja_urani/layouts/blocks/”
02. (Line 2) comment that line this way: <!– <div id=”ja-main” style=”width:<?php //echo $this->getColumnWidth(‘mw’) ?>%”> –>
03. (Line 3) add this line: <div id=”ja-main”>
04. Alternative to number 03: <div id=”ja-main” style=”width: INSERT WIDTH HERE “>
05. Save.

Changing ja-right:
01. Open “right.php” in “templates/ja_urani/layouts/blocks/”
02. (Line 3) comment that line this way: <!– <div id=”ja-right” class=”column sidebar” style=”width:<?php //echo $r ?>%”> –>
03. (Line 4) add this line: <div id=”ja-right” class=”column sidebar”>
04. Alternative to number 03: <div id=”ja-right” class=”column sidebar” style=”width: INSERT WIDTH HERE “>
05. Save.

Then you should add width by css files.
I hope this helps you. If you have the same problem in ja-left, repeat the same steps but in file “left.php”.
Let me just warn you again that you are modifying files from template… so please do a backup and everytime you make a modification you should see how the template reacts.

If you have any more doubts or problems please contact me and I’ll help you.
Best regards.

Hey thanks so much for the tip. It worked, but not 100%.

Using Firebug i find <div id= “ja-mainbody” style=”width: 52%;”> is over riding and preventing the ja-main width from displaying the required width. How does “ja-mainbody” determine a width value?

In Firebug’s “style” column, it is displayed as element.style { width:52%;}

For the life of me, i can’t find where to edit this value.

Ok, with your help I was able to resolve.

I made the changes you indicated and added the following:

01. Open templates/ja_urani/layouts/default.php
02. Commented out line 71 ‘<div id=”ja-mainbody” style=”width:<?php echo $this->getColumnWidth(‘mw’) ?>%”>’
03. Inserted into line 72 ‘<div id=”ja-mainbody” style=”width:550px”>’ (The width that I required)

In addition, you can adjust and fine tune the margins within layout.css

Actually, not the best result. i would prefer to be able to control the column widths by %.

Ok, I’ve found the RIGHT solution thanks to the Joomlart awesome support staff. Thanks for your help by the way!

***** Support Response **************************************
In this case you can try as follows open templates/ja_urani/layouts/default.php file you will see this line of codes

$this->_basewidth = 24;
change it to

$this->_basewidth = 21.5;
