Thanks for the info on how to turn off all the sideboxes....just one other question that may get me in alot of trouble...BUT......why is that you designed this template so the sideboxes would only ever be on the right hand side? Is it just too technically complex to have the option of left or right due to all the other snazzy stuff the template is doing? Don't shoot me please....

It's because of the way I wanted it, that's all. It will break if there were left sideboxes, so I prevented them from occuring. I could have designed it with only left sideboxes, but I didn't. Cause that's not what I designed.

Sure, you can do that if you like.

First turn em all off, then in the stylesheet delete this section (this will get rid of the light grey section behind the sideboxes):

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

Then change .centerColumn's width from 73% to like 95% or so. Let me know how this works, because I haven't tried it myself.

Hi Jade - I tried this as you said and it does remove the grey bar from the right hand side of the center piece but it also removes the white background so you can see the stripped background come through. I think thats cause your content_bg.gif contains the white background and the grey column.

Am I right in saying that I'd need to create a new .gif that only had a white line in it? Also changing .centreColumns width doesn't seem to do anything. I actually was going to ask how to change the background of the main column to a different colour anyway.

Also how do I remove the text that says 'To change any of the site colors, open up...etc' and replace it with a header image? I would like a header image across the top and then I'll replace logo.gif with my own logo image too. Thank you.

I found the text in header.php but still would like help on putting a header image in place.

An easy way to do this is re-open that same file (includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php), and where you removed that tagline text, add your image code (with the correct width and height of course):

<img src="includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg alt="YOUR ALT TEXT HERE" title="YOUR IMAGE TITLE HERE" height="100" width="500" />

And be sure to upload the image to the correct folder.

Actually, just change #centerColumnWrapper2 from the background image to the color that you want.

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background#ffffff;
}

Then it worked when I tested it, changing .centerColumn's percentage.


.centerColumn {
width:98%;
float:right;
position:relative;
margin-right:1%;
padding:1% 2% 0 2%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
}

Hi,

Firstly I must say that I'm very impressed with the template.

Please can you tell me how I can fill the white intersection (where logo and "change text font...." is) with a background image, and then how to put the logo on top?

Hello!

I think if you add the background image to the #logoWrapperOuter tag, then simply upload your own logo to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif, that should do it.

Thank you for your response it was very helpful.

I now have two further problems:

1. In the header the screen splits into 2 frames when the window is resized. Therefore on a 800x600 resolution, my image is not properly displayed. Is it possible to remove the frames?

2. When I go to the site I get the following error message:

Error: Access is denied to: http://mysite.co.uk/includes/csshover.htc
Line: 0
URL:http://www.mysite.co.uk/

Can you help resolve these issues?

Best regards
