Quick question - change centerbox size

I'm working with the Wallet template and would like to remove the sidebar from the right. Can I just made the center box wider?
If this will work, please tell me how!

Also, is is possible to take this to 100% instead of 758px?

Here's a link to the site if you need it. http://charmedbytina.com/mypizza/

Re: Quick question - change centerbox size

I don't know the coding of the Wallet template, but it looks like it should allow full admin function. You should be able to turn off the right sidebar normally, in admin > Configuration > Layout Settings > Column Right Status - Global. The center will expand to fill the space.

Just change the width of #mainWrapper to 100% in your stylesheet: ```
/* OUTERMOST WRAPPER */
#mainWrapper {
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
border: 1px solid #000000;
background-color: #566139;
color: #000000;
margin: auto;
}

Re: Quick question - change centerbox size

PS - I noticed in your site footer "powered by Zen Maven" with a link to zen4dummies.com - Is that where you got the template or your site installed from?

That link is a claim that zen4dummies wrote the engine that powers your site, which is not kosher. (Is pizza kosher anyway? ... :)

Thanks so much for the quick response! I'll try that right now!

Also Zen4Dummies (me) will be installing the website for a customer!
Zen Maven was a joke - do I hear you laughing? :laugh:

This will read Zen Cart with that link upon completion.

Re: Quick question - change centerbox size

Glad to hear that. Some people really try to pretend they built it in production sites... one even went so far as to change the file headers to their own name and explicitly say they wrote the code - not just immoral but illegal. You can imagine what Kim had to say to that!

Re: Quick question - change centerbox size

Just took a look - the logo is a fixed width image which looks a bit silly with the green space. Since the logo background is a repeating pattern anyway, you could make a new copy of the logo without background (transparent) and put the repeating background in #headerWrapper with background-repeat: repeat-x;

You might do better with width: 90%; or something anyway; the green looks good on the sides.
