  • change template width of JUST ONE of the pages - Joomla 1.5

    Posted 12 years 9 months ago
    • Is it possible to change the template width of JUST ONE of the pages on my Solar Sentinel Template without changing the width of ALL other pages? (Joomla 1.5)

      Explained further:
      I set up a site for my client with Joomla 1.5 last year and used the template rt_solarsentinel_j15

      I know how to change the template width for the whole site by going to TEMPLATE MANAGER, but It is just on one page where I have set up a Wrapper that it needs to be wider to accomodate the very wide destination URL page where the Wrapped content is coming from.

      Here is a link to the test Wrapper page if it helps: goo.gl/pBSsW

      Thanks

    • Hi there,

      Easiest way would be to add a page class suffix to the menu item. Perhaps widerwrapper, and then add the following code to template.css...
      .widerwrapper div.wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 979px;
padding: 0;
}
      And change the width accordingly. This should only affect any menu item where you use that suffix.

      If this resolves your problem then please edit your first post in this thread by adding SOLVED at the start of the title and then select the green tick icon. This lets the moderators know that it can be moved to the solved section.

      Thanks for your cooperation :)

    • Thanks David,

      I tried what you suggested and it is not changing the page width or making any change to anything else.

      Below is what I did:

      I located the file via: templates > rt_solarsentinel > css > template.css

      I Added the below code to the template.css file (i tried alternate pasting this in several places within the code but it makes no difference): 
      .widerwrapper div.wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1200px;
padding: 0;
}

      I then added the following Page Class Suffix to the menu item: widerwrapper

      Any other suggestions? The earlier link is still current (here it is again) goo.gl/pBSsW

    • Hi there,

      Looks like we didn't have page suffix active in our templates back then.

      Found a post here with a solution - www.reviewsforjoomla.com/forum/index.php...87.msg40745#msg40745

      Thanks David,

      I have tried to understand and implement that solution that you provided via the link, but I cannot get it to work.

      The link that you provided is in reference to a yuckytheme / yoo template but you believe it to still be the same solution for Rockettheme templates too? Do you have any other suggestions?

      Thanks again.

    • Thanks CMYKreative,

      The actual Article page is non existent (it is merely a menu item that wraps to an external url), so there is no "article" as such. I have tried adding a menu class suffix but to no avail...

      thanks anyway
