Change the width of the sidebar position

Is it possible to change the width of either the sidebar-1 or sidebar-2 positions?

Hi

You need to edit

\templates\newlifestyle\tpls\blocks

Are you using the left-mainbody-right.php layout? if so
Its that file to change

Altering the spans in the \\ layout configuration section

Hi

Do you have widths for the two sidebars in mind?
the sidebars and the main content area need to add up to 12

so if it was would sidebar1 and 2 being 3 and main area being 6

If you can tell me the widths you need I can paste the code here for you

Hi

We are planning to make this possible to change via the layout section of the template admin - this update will be sometime in the week starting the 7th April (if not before).

Perhaps work on your content in the mean time and wait for an update?

Thanks Paul, looking forward to the update. In the meanwhile, I found a quick workaround for the custom.css.

.row-fluid .span4 {
width: 20% !important;
}

.row-fluid .span8 {
width: 75% !important;
}

ah be careful with that as that will affect positions across the template as it generic

I'd be looking to make it more specific

.row-fluid .sidebar-2.span4
.row-fluid #midCol.span8

so it doesn't crop up when you are not expecting it
