I want to adjust the module size. For instance, I would like user5 position to be just more than 67% and I would like to be able to justify align the text. Currently it is left aligned. Can you tell me how to do this?

If you want change the width to 68%, please go to coreetclayouts and change xml file as follow:


<block name="topsl1" type="spotlight" special="right" specialwidth="32" main-inner="1">user5,user6</block>


the specialwidth = 100 – [your user5 width].

I was playing around with the font settings of the text in ‘user4’ and I lost the dark blue background graphic. I added the ‘_hilite’ attribute to the module suffix (although I am pretty sure I didn’t have that initially), however it did not change. Any ideas on how I can get it back?

I’m using Joomla 1.6. Link to the site is here.

Dear misshona,

You should add acustom module with the content like this
<div class=”banner-text”>Nec cum nibh nam, volutpat at tortor sem, et et ante id nam et tellus etiam</div>
Please keep the div with class=banner-text.
