Template Edit

[PFZ_Ken]

Ok, I'm using the "default" template and I've made some modifications to it. I decided to constrain the layout some and it works as expected except this url;

http://www.pfzrecovery.com/listings/top.html

I'm not sure why one page would do this while all the others appear to be ok.

Also, I'd like to eliminate the space between header gif/bar gif and the body of the page or use it. Where do I edit this?

Thanks for your time.

Im not sure I wollow what the problem is or what your looking to do. The site looks the same for me on both IE and firefox.

As for the header bar thats a background image in the style sheet if I understand you correctly.

If your not using firefox, you should be, and then install the web developer an firebug ad ons and you willknow where to find everything.

Been a Firefox users for a long time. What I meant to point out at the url in my post is that for that link the listing content goes outside the overall "container" on the right hand side of the page.

The other issue is the gap of about 50 pixels between bar.gif and the content of the page where "navigation" is on the left and the main content on the right. I want to eliminate that gap.

If your using FF and fire bug, then right click the offending area and select "inspect element".

It should show you that you have a have 2 <div> tags, each with a different class but nothing in between them. Removing them should close the gap. Its in layout template.

Alrighty then, I installed Firebug and after retarting FF, the "problem" with that page has gone away. Go figure.

The "gap" issue, here is the code and I've made the area I think might be the problem is in bold;

<div id="wrapper">
<!-- // Header // -->
<div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/header.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
<!-- // Header // -->
<!-- // Top Bar // -->
<div class="topbar">
<div id="menu"><strong>

</strong></div>
</div>
<!-- // Top Bar // -->

Now that I think about it, this must be left over where I removed the elements/links from the top of the page, Is this right?

Thanks, Ken

PS Oh yeah, my screen resolution is 1280x960

Yep, with firbug I removed those lines and the gap closed right up.

No problem. Fiebug is a great little utility, it can bring you right to an element and let you edit it and see the effects without altering the original file.

I spoke too soon I guess, the "Top Listings" page is still acting up;



Also, where the blue arrows are pointed downward, these two listings have a grey backgound on this page and what is bold in other listings text-wise is not in these two listings. I can't figure what would cause this.

There are css styles associated with bold and highlighted listings. In the showlistings template a typical line would look somethinng like this...

<td{if $entry.class<>""} class="{$entry.class}"{/if}>{$entry.title}</td>

The firs {if} says if the variable $entry.class is not blank then the class is what the value of the variable is.

It ill only have a value if its ben assigned one by the underlying template so what I see above means that some of your ads are specified as bold and/or highligfhted and that is whey they are appearing differenly on the page.

As for your header, once again on mine they line up. What resoultion are you viewing the site in?

I know at one point if you went in and modified an ad via admin the values for highlighted/bold/features defaulted to yes even if thats not what was paid for so if you edit ads make sure you know how there were set before editing it or they will be altered.
