Hi I understand that the 5 positions (from user 1 to user 5) normally auto regolate their width depending on the number of published modules but i Would like to know if is it possible to act to fix the widht of them?
Otherwise I have to use a custom module in user 1 position and try to adjust it by the use of tables.
can anyone help me?:-[
thanks
Giorgio

Unless you modify the code for each position separately – as opposed to the way they are coded presently (pulling from the same CSS classes), then the only possible workaround solution I can think of – if you DO NOT need to utilize all five positions at the same time – is that if you use only a few and insert some custom HTML into one of those positions, the width will conform to the size of the graphic you assign to the position. (I’m not 100% certain about the height – though you CAN adjust this parameter via the CSS).

Does that make sense?

Yes, I can. How do you want to change width of positions (ex: user1: 10%, user2: 30%, …)?

don’t resort to tables. If you look in your template.css and u use firebug you can see which “class” is effected. For example .user1 or #user2 depending on the .css . Once you know that you can either set them to a percentile of width for parent container, OR set them to fixed width. Which ever your choose. Depending on the setting you might have overflow issues but these are all .css issues and take a bit to learn. You’ll find over time that firebug helps enormously with this.

You login backend > Extensions > Template management > ja_teline_iv > layout tab > edit default layout. Replace


<block name="topsl2" type="spotlight">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
with


<block name="topsl2" type="spotlight" special="left" specialwidth="74">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
