Hey guys,
How do I resize the right module to 36% and the main content area to 64%?
it’s driving me insane that I can’t find this 🙁

Have you played around with the percentage numbers within your Template Manager–Layout–Default (Edit) ???

Hi Tom,

There are no percentages on that file. See below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="header" type="header" wrap-inner="1" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="slideshow" type="modules" wrap-inner="1" style="raw">slideshow</block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
<block name="topsl1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="middle" colwidth="30" fixheight="1">
<block name="content-mass-top">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom">content-mass-bottom</block>

<block name="right2">right</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">

<block name="botsl1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user11,user12,user13,user14,user15</block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper"></block>
<block name="botsl2" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user16,user17,user18,user19,user20</block>

Well, actually there is … it just isn’t obvious at first glance.

See the line:
<blockquote><blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”30″ fixheight=”1″></blockquote>

What you want to do is fiddle around with the “colwidth=” number until you arrive at the width ratio you are happy with.

No problem . . . I’ve learned these things as I’ve gone along and experimented myself.

Now, when you change the colwidth= number, I’m not entirely certain whether or not you will need to fiddle around, also, with the width of the right column/position – which would be done within the appropriate CSS rather than the layout block code.
