    Default Hi, I'm Back...I have more problems :) - Moving the columns

    FOREWARNING - Template Monster template in use. Handle with care! May explode on contact.



    Okay. So I have another little problem :) I want to move the left colum to the left more, and the right column to the right more. I understand that I have to edit the tpl_main_page in includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/common somehow in order to achieve this, but I'm not that great at PHP coding :)

    What do I have to edit to move the left column to the left more and the right column to the right more? Do I have to make the center column wider? If so, what do I add (and where do I add it) to achieve a result.

    Thank you :)

    It's not only a Template Monster template, it's THAT Template Monster template. Must be cheaper than the others.


    Look in stylesheet_tm.css and fiddle with the width here:

    .main {width:766px; margin:auto;}

    You need to get and install Firefox and the Web Developer plugin if you're going to try to modify those crazy templates.

    Haha. Its the free one :) I didn't think I could make a template myself so I took their free one and did some editting to it. Probably would have been easier to make my own now.


    But yes. Your suggestion worked wonders. Thank you so much :) This is probably the simplest fix I've ever seen work on a template monster template lol.


    Thanks again,

    Terps


    EDIT: Nvm, got it. Changed
    Code:
    .banner_set3 {background:url(../images/bg_banner.jpg) top right no-repeat; height:153px;}
    to
    Code:
    .banner_set3 {background:url(../images/bg_banner.jpg) top no-repeat; height:153px;}

    Yeah I've looked through all of them but none of them seem to be able to give me the exact look I'm going for with my template. I guess if I did a lot of hardcore editting I could get back to the same result, I'm just not experienced enough to go about that yet.

    Like w/ the columns the way they are set up on mine, overlapping the header and then being different colors. I simply don't know how to do that -_- I'd probably overload this forum w/ the amount of questions I would have. :)
