Problems with the 'Layout Manager' - Doesnt adhere to % set

Hello,

Here is a link to my Dev site:

http://www.inspiremedia.biz/dev/shredlogix

Down the bottom of the website, where you see the positions named "Menu | Solutions | Destruction - Paper | Destruction - Media | Destruction - Misc". These modules positons, which are bottom7, bottom8, bottom9, bottom10, bottom11, bottom12, All of these modules positions DO NOT adhere to the settings I set in the Template > LAYOUTS manager.

EG module bottom7 (aka Menu) is set to 20%, however if you look at it with firebug, it shows 21%. It does not matter what number I enter into these module positions, it does not change the 21% (yes I make sure all positions equal 100%). I have had this issue a lot with Gavick templates, where module positions don't like being changed much.

What I want to do is: I only want to use 5 module positions down there = bottom7, bottom8, bottom9, bottom10, bottom11, and I want each position to equal 20% (for a total of 100%).

Anyway, can someone please supply an update or a fix?

Hi

Try override this settings with this code:

Code: Select all

#gkBottom2 .gkCol {
width: 20% !importanr;
padding: 0;
}


It doesnt work.

if you look at it in Firebug, these 21% DESONT refer to a CSS file (this happens quite often in Joomla where there is no specific css file related to the setting).

Any other options??

Hi

It doesn't matter if it's in site code or in css. You can override the code always. I do not see the code I've asked You to add to the site in the code. Maybe You need to clear cache to make effect.

Can you just believe the fact i said it doesn't work!

I removed the dam code because it doesn't work, infant it's the first thing I tried myself.

You should know that there are some CSS codes that CAN'T be overridden in the override .css file.

It's a waste of time to reply and ask me to do the same thing again, after I said it doesn't work...why would I leave code in my site that doesn't work?

Please, provide another fix....

I think you will find its a php file that is generating the code, and the layout manager in the 'template' is not doing its job as it should.....anytime I have asked people in the past to fix bottom module position percentages, it has to be done in a php file because you can't add CSS to the override.css file, because the php code inserts its code so it overrides all .css files....cause if you look at the 21% in firebug, there is NO .css file that it relates to.

Hi

Please do not be angry, this is the most common issue that people doesn't disable compression or cache so the code is not even on the site. So I'm always starting from this and in 99% of cases this is always an answer. Please send me an access to FTP than. I'll fix it.
