SOLVED Template Max Width - Still Responsive

Posted 12 years 5 months ago
- Hi All,
  
  I am trying to set a maximum width for the template (say 1000px).
  
  I also want the site to remain responsive so using the layout mode 960px or 1200px fixed width wont work for me.
  
  What do I need to do to ensure the page will never exceed 1000px?
  
  Thanks.

Hi there,

I haven't tried this but my thoughts are that you need to adjust mediaqueries.less for the Large and Desktop elements.

The defaults are as follows...

// Large Mode
@media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
     .visible-large {
          display: inherit !important;
     }
     .hidden-large {
          display: none !important;
     }
}
 
// Desktop Modes
@media only screen and (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
     .visible-large {
          display: none !important;
     }
     .hidden-large {
          display: inherit !important;
     }
     .visible-desktop {
          display: inherit !important;
     }
     .hidden-desktop {
          display: none !important;
     }    
     .promo {
          h1 {
               font-size: 3.7em;
          }
          p {
               font-size: 1.3em;
          }
     }
     .promo-image {
          width: 40%;
     }
     .promo-image img {
          max-width: 100%;
     }
}

Try changing (min-width: 1200px) to (max-width: 1000px) and then change (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1199px) to (max-width: 1000px)

Hope this helps

- Thanks for the reply.
  
  I saw these values but wasn't sure if it was the right place to make the changes.
  
  I'll give it a go.

- OK. That didn't seem to work.
  
  Checing that file those media queries appear to just set some difference classes etc based on the screen width.
  
  I have done a test of changing .rt-container to max-width:1000px
  
  Whilst it sort of worked it only succeeded in pushing the template out of whack and had 200px of overflow to the right....

- Alright here's more details. I was running into the problem where my menu went to the second line and some text when too wide when I went to a wider display.
  
  Here's how I fixed it so I could have a max-width of 960px and still use my responsive template that you select in the Template Administrator Advanced Tab.
  
  1.Go the file:
  root/libraries/gantry/css/grid-responsive.css
  
  2. On line 8: Change body to min-width: 80px - Reason 80x 12 (column display) 960px
  3. On line 11 change .rt-container to width: 960px
  
  4. Now you have to modify the all rt-grids to match the 80px math but fortunately all you have to do is copy and paste.
  
  5. At around line 64 copy the code .rt-grid-1 {width: 80px;} to about line 112 .rt-prefix-11 {padding-left: 880px;}
  } (don't forget the last curly bracket.)
  
  5. Now paste that over the above section from line 13 through line 60
  
  That's it now you have the 960px max on large displays will still keeping the responsive template that works so well for mobile devices.

- Right just so you all know. I would recommend using the custom css for this. Read how to add custom css on these forms or in the help.
  
  I am now using that and it works fine.
  
  Here is what I did...
  
  It sets the max template size to 1020
  
  /* Responsive Layout Change to 1020 */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 1020) {
  div.rt-container {width: 1020px;}
  div.rt-grid-1 {width: 85px;}
  div.rt-grid-2 {width: 170px;}
  etc...
  
  @media only screen and (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1019px) {
  div.rt-container {width: 960px;}
  div.rt-grid-1 {width: 80px;}
  div.rt-grid-2 {width: 160px;}
