In 1.5 Methys – how can I make my right column wider? I would put the link up but it is not ready and I don’t want public links at this time. I will message the link to anyone willing to help me! Thanks so much!

Here is how you can increase the width of your right column . . .

– Go into your Template Manager (in your site Administration)

– Click on the “Layouts” Tab

– In the “Default” row, click the “Change” icon

– Look for the following code . . .

'</blocks> <blocks name="middle" colwidth="22" fixheight="1">
<block name="content-mass-top" type="modules">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="inset2">left</block>
<block name="right1" width="30">right</block>
</blocks>


Play around with the <block name=”right1″ width=”30″>right</block> parameter until you arrive at the width you want..
(make sure to save your changes and refresh your site page to see results)

e.g., change “30” to “40” and see how that looks. If you want it wider, play around with the numbers.

Let me know if that works for you.

Tom,

That worked great! Thanks again for the help! It must be a percentage of the page, not pixels.
