Hi

I want to ask how to adjust left and right column width of this template.
I want to set left column width to 160px, and right column to 300px.

Thanks

Yes, i have the same question. Ive done this hundreds of times with other templates, but it seems with the new template structure I am un able to find the correct chunk of code.

looks like its in template/layout/blocks/ and which ever the right column is. Looks like it has its own .php file.

Hi bennyykh

– open templatesja_selenilayoutsblocksleft.php , find style=”width:<?php echo $l ?>%” and change to:

style=”width:160px”

– open templatesja_selenilayoutsblocksright.php , find style=”width:<?php echo $r ?>%” and change to:

style=”width:300px”

Hi bennyykh.
If you fixed your width collums, not good for you.
Pls use my ideas:
If you use your temlate width is 960px (check configurations of your config)
left is 160px right is 300px so main about 500px
left: 160/960= ~18%.
right: 300/960=~32%
main: so main is 50%

Open yourtemplate: layouts/default.php Line 16: $this->_basewidth = 30;
Changes it to $this->_basewidth = 32;
Try to do it

Hi,
The above said code is not there in the new version of the template(1.1 version).Please help me to reduce the right column size to 20%.
