Centering column 2?

Hi folks,

Firstly great community you got here, I've been searching/reading the wikis loads to get me started! But I've hit a brick wall, I cannot find a thread/wiki about centering the middle column (column 2) of all pages. I've seen in admin you can control the size/position/existence of column 1 & 3 on the left and right, but the not the centre one! So at the moment I have:

Column 1: ON, 150px
Column 2: ON, Left alignment
Column 3: OFF

To explain what I mean, here's my shop so far: Link

And here's an example of a live shop I found off the Zen site directory, that has a central middle column and matching side column (albeit right not left but the positioning is still good): Link

I want to do this so that it looks more central and aligned, and also so I can upload a decent background!

Many, many thanks for any help! :smile:

You or your template has altered what is contained in the mainWrapper container so it is not responding as a default would
Suggest you look at if you have edited the tpl_main_page.php file

Add to your stylesheet```
.centerColumn {text-align: center;}

Yay! Thank you kindly!

Okay I'm still having trouble to centre the whole lot, if you know what I mean?

Sites here and here, have it how I want it! I would like the empty whitespace down the left and right so all the content/both columns are in the middle.

Could it be the % in the mainWrapper?

Hmm can't seem to edit my post above, so I'll post again.

I'm making progress but could do with a spot more help:

1. How can I move the bottom EZ bar to the centre with the other EZ bar?
2. How can I make all links red (#e3492e)?
3. How can I bring the left column into the centre to the left of the main image?

Cheers for the help!

Okay I've managed to do most of it, now background images is the next step!

You are finding this more difficult as I stated

Hi Kobra,

Yup I figured that, so I switched it to a new template and it's working now!

Any idea where I can change the field names in the My Account creation page?

i.e. "State/Province" becomes "County" and "Post/Zip Code" becomes "Postcode" etc...

Learn to use the "Developer Toolkit" under Admin >>> Tools .

Use the text string you don't want (or a part of it) as the search keyword. In your case... State/Province

This will return a list of files where that string occurs. In MOST cases, you will need to apply edits to files where your text string is part of a DEFINE statement.

You DO NOT change the define constant (ALL_THE_UPPERCASE_WORDS)...

... just the variable - the part between the second set of single quotes.

  define('ENTRY_STATE', 'State/Province:');

  define('ENTRY_STATE', 'County:');

Thanking you kindly, both of you!
