We are using the newest Fluid 4.1.6 template, and our list of Categories is now too large, and takes up too much vertical space. I would like to either 1) reduce the spacing between items 2) remove the underline between entries AND tighten up the spacing 3) Change the categories list to two columns (on the home page only) On number 3 above, I HAVE changed the value in the Template Settings to "1" for the Number of category columns in the admin module, but it has no effect on the output. I'll post separately as well, but I would like to remove the horizontal menu on the home page as well, but thus far have not figured out which file to edit, and what edit is required. I am a new user, and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks Gary
You will need to adjust the css for those items. The way to do this is to get a copy of web developer for Firefox. It is free. You then use the outline current element tool to find out which piece of code this is. You then open up your css file and make the adjustments you want. Now as for your category columns. You need to copy the code say from the default template page and put that into your home.tpl file if that is how you wish to display your categories. You can then also go into the the 68C admin panel and go to the templatezones module. You simply click on the categories block and drag it to the central disable area. It will then no longer show on your template. Its really easy. You will also note that your categories will display as you want them on the browse page as normal. As for removing the main menu (I presume you mean the top menu), that is defined in the layout.tpl file. You will need to remove that code which makes the menu. You then may need to adjust your css to compensate for the menu being deleted. If you mean the sidebar main menu that is a different matter and beyond discussion here. You would need to rework your accordion.tpl file in the module/templatezones/templates/accordion.tpl . All these changes you must do for each template color you are using. To be frank and don't take it the wrong way but this is the type of customisation you should have done by a developer if you are not familiar with coding. Its a small pice of customisation work which will take about an hour or so to do.
