Centering main page and More information links question and another about ckeditor

Here is the link to my website
http://littlehandmadesoapshop.co.uk/index.php?main_page=

Version 1.5.1
I have it set so that there are the left column and the main centre one
How do I centre the text on the main centre column so that it is in the centre of that column as no matter what I try I has just ended up wrong?

Next question is about the more information box in the left column, I want to add smf forum to my website and am wanting to use one of those links in more information to link to the forum, how do I change it from page 2 or 3 or 4 whichever I choose to say forum and link to the forum

Next question how do I use the ckeditor as when click on say main page in the admin panel and set it to ckeditor it changes back to plain text and unselects the page am wanting to edit

Thank you in advance

Re: Centering main page and More information links question and another about ckeditor

To center your main text change your stylesheet.css to this:
#home-text {
font-size: 120%;
width: 550px;
margin-top: -50px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

You're asking to change a define page into an external link.

Unless you need a landing page, you only need to add the external link to the more information page like this:
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/more_information.php

below link 16:
** $more_information[] = '<a href="http://twitchtoo.com/">Twitchtoo Forum</a>';**

That will provide a direct link to an external site.

So the CKEditor is installed and you can use it on the define pages/product description pages, it just won't stay as the default correct?

Your text has paragraph formatting in it, cut and paste it into something like notepad to strip out the dirty code and it will line up properly. The CSS fix worked :)

Do a search for CKEditor in the forum you will find the fix for your 'CKEditor default selected' problem.

Re: Centering main page and More information links question and another about ckeditor

Drop the '<p style="text-align: justify;">' and '</p>'

if you'd like to justify that text use the stylesheet.css look for or make: #home-text { }

Re: Centering main page and More information links question and another about ckeditor

I am trying all different ways, have just removed that and its still all wrong I just trying to centre the text in the centre column lol and spent all day doing so many different things to try that was the nearest have got though have now lost the paragraphs that I wanted in there so regardless its wrong completely.

Am sorry but am not sure I understand what you mean by the following

if you'd like to justify that text use the stylesheet.css look for or make: #home-text { }

Thank you for the help am still learning css

Re: Centering main page and More information links question and another about ckeditor

Are you using CKEditor to edit the main page text?

I can't see the code that's causing that indent format error. If you want to PM/Live Chat your ftp access I'll look while I'm on break from another coding project :)
