Changing layout, making product images more tight nit.

[spikeycactus]

Hello, i have a small problem, my images have large gaps of space between the edges and the text.

Is there a setting in admin for this, or will i have to manually adjust this through css.
I have a custom template , but does anyone have any ideas of tags that i can look up in my CSS sheets to get an idea of where these settings are located?
Im not great with manual coding
Thank you

Sp,
Locate this:
includes/templates/theme005/css/stylesheet.css

Find this:
.main_cell_c1

1. see if you play with the padding if this is not the fix

thanks

.main_cell_h_l { background:#B3B4B6; height:3px;}

.main_cell_c1 { width: auto; padding: 9px 42px 12px 34px;}
.main_cell_c2 { width:216px;}
.main_cell_c2_margin { margin: 5px 30px 10px 0px;}

.price_block { width:180px; }
.price_block .c1 { width:106px; padding-top:4px;}
.price_block .c2 { width:auto;}
.price_text { font-size:12px; color:#EA4E00; font-weight:bold;}

.categor_text { color:#32434A;}
.categor_text a, .categor_text font { color:#EA4E00; font-weight:normal;}
.categor_text a:hover { color:#32434A; font-weight:bold;}

.prod_main_cell_margin { margin-right:25px; margin-top:7px;}

.prod_link { color:#3A4750; text-decoration:none; background:url(../images/bul.gif) no-repeat left; padding-left:8px;}
.prod_link:hover { text-decoration:underline;}

.prod_margin { margin: 13px 30px 9px 34px;}

.product1_c1 { width:63px;}
.product1_c2 { width:56px;}
.product1_c3 { width: auto;}

i have changed .main_cell_c1 { width: auto; padding: 9px 42px 12px 34px;}
to
.main_cell_c1 { width: auto; padding: 9px 12px 12px 14px;}
but i have noticed no difference

.main_cell_c1 {stylesheet.css (line 690)
clear:both;
padding:9px 15px 12px 34px;
width:auto;
}


.main_cell_c2 {stylesheet.css (line 691)
width:250px;
}

use the value in red and see if that helps.

aah thx thast worked a treat

[spikeycactus]

Thanks for all the help, is there any way of extending the text descriptions along to the edge of the box as well as the details button.
What tags would be invloved in this?
Thank You

[tony_sar]

for extending description

.main_cell_c2_margin {stylesheet.css (line 692)
margin:5px 30px 10px 0;
}

change to lower value like 5px


for the button
.price_block .c2 {stylesheet.css (line 696)
padding-left:120px;
width:auto;
}

thanks man, one final question to your infinite knoledge!
how would i increase the amount of lines show in the product description?
Thanks

[tony_sar]

Configuration > Product listing

Display Product Description

default set to 150 characters , but you can show more ..

[spikeycactus]

thx but unfortunately this has no affect.
The amount of characters hasnt reached the default of 150, so there is something else holding it back.
No matter how high i put it, it doesnt increase.
if i set it to 0 then nothing is displayed so the amount of characters is properly been capped somewhere.
Any ideas?
thanks
