Page width variable exectutive theme

[los_design]

Hi Guys

anyone know how to get the whole page to 100%? not just the menu

Can change the variable in the library but it has no effect?

The main body default is 580? tried to input % (as text in variable) but no joy?

Thanks in advance

Page width with this theme is controlled by the css file. There is a thread about doing this - but it may not be possible with the new themes.

Hi

Found it, it is a bit labour intensive BUT it is possible.

Using the "select page type" and finding the actinic ss helped and then sort through there. Esy once you know how

On the exec theme the main body can be editted on lines 358 & 363, all are well commented so should be easy enough to trace.

O/T Like the pudding site BTW bookmarked as my daughter is coeliac so right up our streeT...

to change the widths ie site width, section page width and product page width

Go to design|library variables, bottom of the list Site, clickthe plus sign, ACTSTDWIDTH, change Type from number to text. This will allow you to input the %. Initial value 100%, top level value 100%

Repeat within variables, Section and product, sectionlistwidth and productlistwidth, again change type to text, change to percentage value

You may need to go back to Settings, Site options to check the 100% have been asigned there

Hi Guys,

I'd be really grateful for an idiots guide for adjusting the pages to a width of 100%. I've followed Jo's suggestion with no success.

I'm trying to widen the page so I can fit more information onto a single line (i.e. image, description, reference, price & quantity box.

Many thanks,

Richard

OK - hope you find this helpful:

1. In the 'Design' tab, change the 'Select Page Type' drop down to read 'Actinic Stylesheet'
2. In the 'Layout Code' panel at the bottom, scroll down to line 348.
3. Change this line to: padding: 10px; (from padding: 10px 0px 0px 0px
4. Change line 352 to width: 100%;
5. Change line 358 to width: 22%;
6. Change line 363 to width: 70%;
7. Click 'Apply'.

This will make the design span the full width of the page.

To then make the product list span the full available width:

1. Go to 'Settings | Site Options | Layout'
2. Under the 'Product' sub-heading locate the 'Width Of Product List' field
3. Change this value to '100%' and click 'Apply'

Also, to get the page header spanning the full width, change both lines 262 and 324 to:

width: 100%;

Many thanks for the post which has saved me hours !

One slight amendment to allow full page without scrollbars is

line 374 of "Actinic Stylesheet"

page_footer_content should also be changed to 100%

I have resisted moving to v8 because my existing sites were so highly customised. I have spent hours learning every trick in the Actinic Book since v5 (assisted greatly by this forum) but most of my "enhancements" have been made redundant by this version.

Congratulations to Actinic on a great value and highly functional piece of software.
