HI
This is not working for me using Reflex 1.7
Do you have any help for me to make the template wider than 960.
I changed the template details.xml and uploaded the mywidth.php and the site collapsed to very narrow width?
Thanks for you help

it gives you an option in the template parameters to change the width of the template based on the width of a single column: default is 60px.
the width of the template will be calculated like this:
(12 * column-width) + 240px
example:
(12 * 60px) + 240px = 960px
(12 * 70px) + 240px = 1080px
(12 * 80px) + 240px = 1200px
in templateDetails.xml add at the end of the code but before </params></install>
<param name="experiment" type="gspacer" default="" description="" label=" " glabel="EXPERIMENTAL" /> <param name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/>
As always be sure to clear all kinds of caches and more important: keep a backup of your files.
move the file mywidth.php into the features-folder of your template.
It leaves styledeclaration.php untouched ...
Djamil was so nice to pick up and improve my idea, so the credits for the code go to Mr. Legato.
Don't forget to clear your Joomla cache (in the backend under "tools") to make this work ...

It's not working that way in J 1.7 ... of course not!
Perhaps you want to read what you quoted:
This is only for gantry with 12 columns (in Joomla 1.5)!
I just have to repeat it again:
This is only for gantry with 12 columns (in Joomla 1.5)!
Got that?
Right ... you should just read the the post right before your post.
David was so nice to write things up for Joomla 1.7:

HI David,
Thanks for such clear instructions. I was able to get the results but my Maintop Position modules got messed up...Instead of showing 3 positions (out of 4 available) scrolling in my Mercado Template for J1.7 now the positions are not equally assigned in the given space in the Main body..and the third module is overflowing into the next line. So with the width expanded the module positions did not expand proportionately. I guess the widths of these positions is calculated based on the new width. Might you know what do I need to do to adjust that back ..Which files do I need to edit for that?
Also...can I move the Cart position to little right to align with the ending side of the right Sidepanel?
I have attached the screen shots how it looks with widths 60 and 80.
Thanks,
Bhupinder

You can leave the changes in templatedetails.xml as you have them now ...

Thanks Henning,
I must try and make some time to collate our work on this one so we have a list of link for what is available and tested.
Cheers.

Thanks Henning! The new code works better. It doesn't give the symmetric look with both the sidepanels and simply makes the whole thing wider which is fine.
For some reason some of my modules that I have assigned to the extreme Right sides such as in (Custom HTML) Bottom and (Google Translate) Maintop positions do not go all the way to the Right like the Ecwid Cart module in the Top-F position goes all the way to the Right. The cart module behaves well even in Bottom and Maintop positions but any other module (like Google Translate in Main Top position doesn't go all the way to the Right). I checked the positioning in Gantry and can't figure out what might be different for these modules and why are they not behaving properly.
Please see the screeshot from my localhost. I haven't implemented this on my actual site ..just wanted to try out on localhost.
Thanks,
Bhupinder

Thanks.
Let me add that under Linux with Filezilla you have to add a file extension "xml" to be able to edit it. In Camber template the feature code starts at around 141.
IT would be easier for the user to just put the actual "content" width i think. For exampel to display a content application with the width of 980px i had to use "Feature width 66".
Example, the new Spreadshirt T-Shirt Designer
