My site can be seen here:

I am trying to use your template (customized though) to get a site with a layout kind of like this:

I need my body area to be wider. It just seems way too narrow. This site seems to have a wider body area:

How do I achieve this?

When I clicked on your link, it took me to the page and it appears to be set to narrow. If you click on the “<>” button at the top right, it widens more.

Go to your index.php file in the template/ja_sargas/ directory and make sure that Line 28 looks like this:

<blockquote>$ja_width_default = ‘wide’; // ‘narrow’: 800×600; ‘wide’: 1024×768;</blockquote>

That should make it default to the wider look.

Hope this helps.

yeah I know that but it still seems to need to be wider IMO. I want to have 500 + pixel images in the body.

If you look at the JA Antares template, you can see that they have added a third option, for “fluid” design, that is based on pure CSS formatting. That sounds like the look you are going for.

You might try and reverse engineer some of Antares’ CSS to see if you can come up with something similar for JA Sargas, however, that sort of thing usually has to be done from the ground up with fluidity in mind.

Of course another option is to not put anything in the “right” module, this will create larger content spaces. Or at the very least, you can not put anything in the “right” module for only certain “pages” in the site.

That’s a good idea. Thanks.
