Too much space

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

He's a link to my problem,
www.groupstestbed.co.uk/index.php/k2-media-manager/faq

I keep trying to close the space between the image and the text to the right.
Idealy I would like to be able to use a picture a tad wider than is displayed but this is the size that they revert to. Any suggestions, would be grateful.

Hi

Are you looking to display content in two columns?

The issue at the moment is the inline css you have added

You could use the shortcode syntax

I spent two hours this morning trying that but, I'll give it another go.
In that short code which one these symbols should I use < [ { (
I was reading this morning about using not what was shown but, curly brackets.

In the html window of the editor paste

{zen-row}{zen-3}This is a block of content that will take up 1/4 of the width of the page.{/zen-3}{zen-9}This is a block of content that will take up 3/4 of the width of the page.{/zen-9}{zen-row}

Well I created a new article and pasted exactly what you have shown above and this is the end result.

Do you have shortcode plugin enabled?

Is it possible to attach a screenshot of the html editor window?

Excellent!!!! Bloody knew you would get me there!

Could I be cheeky and ask one other question?
When I insert a line <hr /> it produces quite a light grey line. Is it possible using the "Custom.css" file to change the colour of the line and if so, how?

Said it was cheeky!

Try adding the existing style

hr {
border-bottom: 1px solid #eeeeee;
}

and then change either the px for the height of the line or #eeeeee for the colour
