fixcenter for oscmax?

**lwilliams114** · 05-06-2008, 06:27 PM

I want to widen the entire site. In oscommerce2 I changed the .fixcenter in the stylesheet in the root of it to:

.fixcenter {
border: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #bbbbbb;
width: 975px;
text-align: center;
background: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 20px;
text-align: left;

can I change the width of oscmax to 975px? can I add the above from oscommerce2 and if so which stylesheet would add it to? If there is another way please help me. I spent many hours figuring out how to do it in oscommerce but don't know how in osxmax.
Thanks in advance.
Lynn

In osCMax, it depends on the specific template you are using, and whether it is defined via the stylesheet or in the template.

Look in main_page.tpl.php and change the width of the main table. The aabox template is set to 750pixels, so just look for a width of 750 in the main_page.tpl.php and change it to whatever you want.

The fallback template is set to 100% for the main table, so just change it.

I appreciate that..I will give it a try.
Thanks

I am using the aabox template. I changed it to 925 but didn't see a change. I am listing it here for you hoping you will look at it and hoping I missed something or changed the wrong item.
Thank you,

Ok, you really should read a book on html. You changed a code comment, not html so of course nothing would happen.

You are lacking the most basic required skills, so I suggest getting a book that explains how html works. Even if you don't learn html, you would at least have a reference for what is what.

The line directly below the line that you edited is actual html, and that is what needs to be changed.

This line:

HTML Code:

 <table align="center" width="750" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

should be this:

HTML Code:

 <table align="center" width="925" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Now please, please, go get a book or read a tutorial or two before wasting any more of your time. These are simple edits that if you take 2 hours to read up on basic html will only take a few minutes at most. And you get to keep the knowledge to boot.

I understand we all have to start somewhere, but my suggestion is to start by learning the basics before diving head deep into a lake without knowing how to tread water.
