Section image & title in boxes - design problem!

[ArtyMiss]

Well, I'm new to all this, so I don't know if anyone can help?

I'm still in the process of building my site and I decided that with over 2500 products to lod in, I needed a more defined look.
I got the company who built the site to give me a template including boxes for the image, title and descriptive text to go in.
These look really good. However I'm having a devil of a job getting them all to look the same.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get them all a fixed with & height?
I've gone through & resaved some of my images to a standard 50 x 100 pixels, but still it all looks messy!

I'm loath to go any further until I fix the issue, in case I need to redo images again!

I'm quite IT literate, but some of this programming stuff just goes right over my head! That said, I only need telling once

Hi there

Does anyone know if there is a way to get them all a fixed with & height?

You can simply edit your "Act_SectionLine.html". Here you will see a table tag, you could simply put in a fix width here.
The "Act_Sectionline.html" can be found in "C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1".

Kind Regards

Thanks for that

I had a bit of help and here's what I got:

<link href="actinic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV>
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="10" CELLSPACING="0" class="btn">
<TR>
<TD width="122" height="1" VALIGN="top"></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD height="60" VALIGN="top"><div align="center"> <a href="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK"></a>
<table width="120" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="120"><div align="center"></div></td>
<td><div align="center">
<div align="center" class="links2">
<table width="80%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="btn">
<tr>
<td height="120"><div align="center"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK"><strong>NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONIMAGE</strong></a></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div></td>
<td><div align="center"><img name="spacer" src="" width="1" height="120" alt=""></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><div align="center"><span class="links2"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK"><strong>NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONNAME</strong></a></span></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img name="width" src="" width="170" height="1" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD height="80" VALIGN="top"><div align="center">
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div align="center" class="boxheader">NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTEXT</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>


However, the page is laid out 4 boxes across. This looks grea on my HUGE screen, but not so good on my notebook.
Should I revise it to 3 boxes across? If so, how do I do this? I have looked everywhere in the code above to see a reference to '4', but I can't see anything!

Go to Design | Options, Sections tab to set the default qty per row for columnar section list. Within the shop, there are settings for each page on the layout tab.

Oh my! That was easy

Now I feel like a right idiot trying to rewrite code

Are there any good books on Actinic, do you know? The manual is virtually non-existant! It would be so good to sit & read about all these features. problem is, I guess you don't know what you actually want to do, until you find you want to do it.

I'm off to load to the test site to see if that fixed my problem.

Thanks Bill.
