Manufacturer sidebox width

[rxalex]

Hi how can I change the the manufacturers sidebox to diplay entire text of manufacturer name, somehow the width of the box inside that you scroll down with names of manufacturers width has shorter width than before.. how do I fix this?

[pivey]

first, set the column & sideboxes width you desire unter ADMIN>Layout Settings

You may define the width in your stylesheet as well. Look for the "id" of your box(es) and make your changes there

I am running version 1.3.0.1 but the question that I am asking is the width of the sidebox is good , just the width of the Manufacturer name index is not wide enough or as original dont know what I did to change that width

Have a look at you stylesheet, find "sideBoxContent centeredContent"

Thanks your correct, I figured out what was wrong.. example dolce & Gabana the & sign is not compatable so I had to add &amp so that it would be xtml compatable and cause it to become dolce & Gab... weird

How about changing the sidebox font size. I edited all the font sizes in my custom template css but the sidebox font never changed, every thing else seemed to change. Reinstalled orig css.
Thanks,

If you talk about the manufacturers sidebox, the content there are links, defined as a:link {something}
Therefore, you may add your own difination ex:

#manufacturerinfoContent li a:link {font-size: XXX; color: #define your color; text-decoration: none; }

This should solve the font look

That should be

The semi-colon is important to ensure that all browsers interpret this correctly.

Also, if you change the width of the box with your manuafactuer's name, you may also want to consider changing the maximum number of characters in

Admin > Configuration > Maximum Value > Length of Manufacturer's Name
