Hello,
I am trying to adjust the height of the custom highlight module, to match the height of JA Slideshow on my site.

http://www.sypfantasyhockey.com

Is anyone able to tell me how to do this? Also, once I adjust the height, will the grey box iteself automatically adjust as well, or do I have to change those perameters also?

Sorry for asking such simple questions…I’m learning here 🙂

The module height adjusts automatically according to the amount of content placed in it. If you want it smaller then you need to have less or smaller content inside.

In your case, why have you reduced the height of the slideshow?

Thanks. I’ll try lessening the text on that module and see if that works.

The reason I have decreased the size of the slideshow, is because I need to show a Big Box ad on the right hand side, and at least half of the advertisement needs to be visible when the page loads (industry standard, from what I am told). So, I figure I will push everything up a bit.

Besides, I would like readers to be able to see part of the content below the slideshow when the page loads as well.

OK Phil, that worked, but if you take a look at my website, the rest of the modules did not shift up.

I am assuming I have to change those manually? Any tips?

Thanks again for the help. 🙂

Professor, just saw your site, you have lot of space between the body and the slideshow,

is thats what you wish to move up? Open yor template.css (after taking proper backup) around line 1187-91

Change this code :

[PHP]/* Top Spotlight 1 */
#ja-topsl {
margin: 0;
z-index: 10;
height: 324px;
}[/PHP]

[PHP]/* Top Spotlight 1 */
#ja-topsl {
margin: 0;
z-index: 10;
height: 254px;
}[/PHP]

and thanks to Phil 🙂

Professor, Glad it worked. To learn these simple tweaks, start using firefox (if not using yet) and install firebug extension for firefox. Try your hands onto it and you would know most of the time, what needs to be changed, where and which line. Give it a try, it will make things easier for you. But whatever you do take backup of files before experimenting, that will save you of frustation, when you end up messing up your site.

regards

arvind
