Hi,

I’m using a 2 column approach for most of the site using the main body and the right column. Can someone help point me to the right code where I set the main body width and right column width to say 80% and 20% please?

Thanks,

Tomo

Hi,

Change the 3columns-content-left-right.php to the one you are using.

Go to templates/ja_ores/layouts/3columns-content-left-right.php
Change this line:
Code:

$this->_basewidth = 25;

Change the number 25 down to wide your content area, I think 15 will go to 70% to content area and 30% to the columns.

A more complete answer in the FAQ: http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_Template_Framework/FAQs#Using_custom_width

Thanks Nihues, I have changed the code and the right column has reduced in size. However the main-body is still using it’s old alloted size and not taking advantage of the new additional space. Is there a trick to this please?

Thanks again and have a good day.

Look the FAQ url on my last msg, maybe you need to change or comment a similar line like this on your file $this->customwidth(‘right1’, 25);

And read that FAQ url, it says everything, if not worked, maybe you changed something elsewhere already? Or a bug…
