I have tried and tried and tried and NOTHING I do succeeds in changing the width of the left column (i.e. reduce the width – with the main content adjusting accordingly).

I have worked with the following code in the template.css file – changing the percentages with col1 and the main content section … but NOTHING has worked.


/* PRIMARY COLUMN
--------------------------------------------------------- */
#ja-contentwrapper {
float: right;
clear: both;
display: block;
width: 70%;
}

.ja-l1r1 #ja-contentwrap {
}

.ja-l1r1 #ja-content {
float: none;
}

.ja-l1r1 #ja-current-content {
padding: 20px;
}

/* COLUMNS
--------------------------------------------------------- */
#ja-col1 {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 23%;
}

#ja-col1 div.ja-innerpad {
padding: 0 10px 0 0;
}

#ja-col2 {
float: right;
overflow: hidden;
width: 23%;
}

#ja-col2 div.ja-innerpad {
padding: 0 0 0 10px;
}

/*common style for column*/

/* COLLAPSIBLE LAYOUT
--------------------------------------------------------- */
#ja-container {
padding: 0 0 20px;
margin: 0;
clear: both;
}

/*content + left*/
.ja-l1 #ja-mainbodywrap {
width: 100%;
}

.ja-l1 #ja-col1 {
width: 15%;
}

.ja-l1 #ja-contentwrapper {
width: 85%;
}

.ja-l1 #ja-content {
float: none;
}

Furthermore, I have searched and searched and cannot find #ja-left – as called out here in the left.php file …


<?php if (($l = $this->getColumnWidth('l'))): ?>
<!-- LEFT COLUMN-->
<div id="ja-left" class="column sidebar" style="width:<?php echo $l ?>%">


CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ???

I can’t believe I can’t seem to get ANY help with this issue. I have tried every combination of width percentage adjustments I can conceive within the template.css and layout.css files – but NOTHING WORKS. Am I to take away from this that the JA Developers made it so that the side column widths CANNOT BE CHANGED ???

PLEASE … CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ??!!!

Hi,
You can do it as my suggestion.
1. Open default.php in …templatesja_zeolite_iilayouts folder.
2. Call function custom width (customwidth) before definePosition
For your request, you can make:
[PHP]
$this->customwidth(‘left1’, 20); //override left1 column width to 20%. Must call before call definePosition. Can call many time to override many columns.
$this->definePosition ($positions);
[/PHP]
Try to do it.
Hope that helps

THANK YOU, Phan – that seemed to do the trick … I VERY MUCH appreciate the assist.

I do want to say, however, that it seems amazingly COUNTER-intuitive for one to have to dig this deep into the code to effectuate this kind of simple adjustment, when it SHOULD be something that can be accomplished via a simple CSS parameter adjustment. WHY must the JA Development Team complicate matters so much with so many conflicting/overlapping CSS rules/parameters that – in effect – override or negate other rules?

:confused:

HI,

I have the same problem witk Blank template in T3 framework .
In default.xml i found these lines:

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="20">
<block name="left1">left</block>
<block name="right1">right</block>
</blocks>

This way it is impossible to change the width of a single column
I need different % width for each column, i.e.

left1= 15
middle= 40
right1=45

How can I modify the default.xml?

Anybody can help me?

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="">
<block name="left1" width="15" >left</block>
<block name="right1" width="35" >right</block>
</blocks>
