Center box position

[logicalstep]

Hi All,

I'm re-designing the website and I'm stuck!
I'm trying to utilise the centerboxes to show certain items. I decided to utilise existing features to do this. I'm using the featured items and I'd like to use the specials centerbox to show a single special item.

So using the existing features seems like a sensible idea. I have managed to get the Featured products box up in the top right and showing items correctly, but I'm guessing the Specials box is utilising the same CSS tag and as such I'm lost on how to get this aligned and showing correctly.

Can anyone point me in the right direction / give some advice?

Something like this in your stylesheet might help:

#specialsDefault {height: 180px;}

though one wonders why you don't use the Featured and Specials sideboxes in the right sidebox column to do much the same thing.

(BTW, I found that in a minute or two using the Firebug plugin for Firefox. An essential tool.)

HI Stevesh,

That would probably be more sensible. to be honest, I wasn;t thinking straight, I was thinking those modules were only available on the center box!

Thanke for the tip, I'll have a play and be back if I get stuck.

I've replaced the centerbox with sideboxes, but now the sidebox only shows images in a single column, whereas the centerbox showed them in a grid.
Is there any way to get the sideboxes (specifically the featured box) showing in grid view? I'd liek to get 6 images in a grid.

Many thanks

Bump anyone.....if someone could just point me to the correct code module I can have a play?

Many thanks

You should be able to get the items in a grid with a CSS rule or two, without touching the PHP. The exact rule will depend on what your output source looks like, so seeing it live will let us advise. In brief, you would make the items float left and have say 49% width so two fit per line.
