I need to know how to set up Antares so that the main menu shows up on all my pages except for one – my forum page. Looking at the related posts has just made me more more confused than ever – I don’t program and only have a limited knowledge of how all this stuff works. Where is the code I need to change? What changes do I need to make (being very specific, please!)
Thanks in advance
Jennifer

C’mon guys! I really need the answer to this! I ponied up my $49 to rejoin so that I could get an answer to what I’m hoping is a very simple question. I’d be happy to read documentation of this menu “feature” if I knew where to find it!

would you please take a look at my website and tell me how to either:

1. increase the width to wide or auto. I made the changes in the template_css.css file and the index.php as well as cleared cache. I don’t see any difference when I make changes.

2. remove the main menu from the left on the Forum page (the other mainmenu is already unpublished)

The Forum page is what’s driving this… I’d like it not to wrap. There’s gotta be a way.

1. To Increase the width to auto: you change the line 641 of template_css.css file to width: 95%

2. To disable the left column, you should remove it in the index.php but it will be complicated, I’ll show you another way:
On line 1031 of template_css.css you’ll see:

#ja-mainbody-fr #ja-leftcol {
width:20%;
}

Change it to

#ja-mainbody-fr #ja-leftcol {
width:0%;
display: none;
}

And in line 1026, you’ll see

#ja-mainbody-fr #ja-content {
float:right;
width:77.5%;
}

Change it to

#ja-mainbody-fr #ja-content {
float:right;
width:100%;
}

That’s you suite your requirement.
Cheers 🙂

kashxo
thank you so much for helping! I finally got the page to widen by modifying line 637 under MAIN LAYOUT DIVS. I changed width: 750px to 950px. I’m assuming that’s the default. I’m sure I could get auto by replacing 950px with 95%.

My forum page (see link above) looks a LOT better!

Thanks again!
Jennifer
