Nebula - Large spaces between sidebar module

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Just wondering if there's any way to reduce the vertical space between the modules in sidebar 2 position. Its very large.

So you need to add

.sidebar .moduletable {
margin-bottom: 50px;
}

replacing the 50px with your new value

This currently is a global style affecting all sidebars so depending on different modules you may want to target it more specifically

I assume you mean I need to add that to the appropriate CSS file? Would it be the CSS files that I can also change the Zen Tools overlays on my homepage grid icons (when viewing on a mobile phone) to stay the same size as the image. Right now the overlay is wider than the image link - looks horrible and riving my crazy on my iPhone.

I figured the suggestion you made for the sidebar and the overlay size issue would be something I have to find in the correct CSS file to modify and/or add to.

Thanks again.

With the style I added paste that directly into the custom.css file

Then change the 50px value to the value you want

The 50px is the current value

With the custom.css - any style that is different from the template css needs to be added here

That includes any new style or a style that overrides the template existing style

The style above is overriding the template style

Right do you have a band across on the home page at mobile width?

#bannerwrap .allitems {background: none;}

Image size compared to overlay size - you can change this setting to make images full width of container in the module settings

That is the easiest way

Ah, Ok. Good to know for the future. I have to get used to using the backend like that. I am so used to using text wrangler and Cyberduck FTP to get to the CSS files I want.

That's correct. I have a dark grey band underneath my logo on an iPhone and the overlays for the zentools grid are wider than the actual link image.

You can certainly use ftp with the custom.css file - some folks prefer working like that

Are you all ok now?

I haven't tried the solutions yet since I am at work right now, but I will soon. I believe I am OK. If I have any problems with those solutions, I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Paul, I added the code you provide to the default Nebula modules template in template manager. Nothing happened though. I changed the px to 20 to see if I'd notice. Then i changed .sidebar to "#sidebar" to see if that was the issue. Still no results. I added it before the head with other custom code inside my <style> tag.

You need to add to test the styles in the custom.css file

If they don't work its easier to see why
