Hi,

The template is JA_T3_Blank – Default running on joomla 3.2.1. I hope i’m in the right forum.

I need to remove the padding from the top and bottom of the search bar module and the padding from the top of articles as seen in the image I provided.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!.

Add this to custom.css

#ja-topsl .ja-moduletable, #ja-botsl .ja-moduletable{

margin: 0px !important;

}

#ja-topsl .ja-box {

min-height:100px !important;

}

#ja-topsl .ja-moduletable{

margin-top:0px !important;
margin-bottom:0px !important;
padding-bottom:0px !important;
}

#ja-container .main{

padding-top: 0px !important;

}

Hey Chavan,

Thanks very much for your response, The problem is that I cannot use custom.css file since I am are using the JATV2 Blank template ver.2.5.8.

I have added the code you sent me to template.css, its improves the layout slightly.

Is there another work around for this?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Is your template set to “Development Mode” by any chance?

Try This . . . .

Within file path —> /templates/ja_t3_blank/themes/more_contrast/css/template.css
at line 180, modify as follows:


#ja-container .main {
padding: 0;
}

Making changes to Joomla’s core files is often neccessary, but there’s a right and a wrong way to do it.

The WRONG way is to directly edit Joomla’s files. If you do, you’ll lose all your changes when you next update your site.

The RIGHT way is to use a layout/template override

The following is a list of informative resources to help you understand what layout/template overrides are in Joomla – and how you can use them to customize your JoomlArt Template based site . . . .

– UNDERSTANDING OUTPUT OVERRIDES

– HOW TO OVERRIDE THE OUTPUT FROM THE JOOMLA CORE

– A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO JOOMLA OVERRIDES

– CUSTOMIZE YOUR JOOMLA TEMPLATES BY LEARNING OVERRIDES

– OVERRIDING T3V3 CORE JOOMLA COMPONENT/MODULE TEMPLATES

Hope This Helps !!! 😎
