    Default Need Help Modifying Scuro Template

    I posted this on the Scuro template thread a while back, but apparently Mr. Turpy doesn't check his template threads. So I'm posting it here, in hopes someone else can help me.

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    I would like to make a few changes to the template format, and I could really use some advice on how to do it. Otherwise I'll have to switch to another template...and the client really likes this one, so I'd rather not have to do that.

    1) On all pages, how do I set the white center module so that it expands or shrinks to fit just the amount of items inside it? Currently it's at a set size that won't be valid for many pages.

    2) I got rid of all the footer columns, but there's still a large gap between the center box and the bottom of the page. How do I get rid of that?

    3) How do I also get rid of the Home | Specials | About Us line at the top?

    The client wants this page to be very simple...the header, the left sidebar, some text in the center box, and then the books she's promoting. Nothing else.

    Thanks very much for your help!!

    We'd have to install that template to advise. A link to your site would be easier.

    1) That section has a fixed width, which makes sense to me, since if the width varies with content, you'll just have more black space on the sides. can you provide an example of a page which would benefit from an adjustable width?

    2) You could add display: none; to the #navSuppWrapper rule in the stylesheet.

    3) Same for the #header-navigation rule.

    Get the Web Developer plugin for Firefox which will let you examine these pages and discover what you need to change. That's what I used to suggest the above. Some prefer Firebug, which does much the same thing.

    Stevesh, the width isn't an issue. It's too long in some cases. This is a perfect example of the problem:

    That worked perfectly, thank you!

    As for the other issue, your center column will be as long as your sidebox columns, so you'll either have that white space or the same length of black space. There's an old thread here somewhere that I think addresses the question if you want black space. I'll see if I can find it.

    That's fine for the index page, but not for subsequent pages. We need to change that so that it fits the amount of text without a huge space beneath, and also be able to specify the number of additional book covers below, on all subsequent pages.

    And will these subsequent pages also display the sideboxes?

    They have to show at least the category lists so that surfers can move around the site. Not necessarily the other sideboxes.
