main_page.tpl.php in /templates/aabox

Find this:

  <!-- TS table added to restrict content in center box  -->
                    <table width="480" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                          <tr>
                                    <td align="center">
                                    <?php
     require (bts_select ('content')); // BTSv1.5
                                    ?>
                                    </td>
                          </tr>
                    </table>
                    <!-- TS end table for center box area -->

Just change the table width="480" to whatever you need.

I could not find smilar code which mentioned at Exercise 2 Setting the Width of osCommerce section

(absent in index.php)

<!-- body //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
..

That exercise is only valid for the template included in osCMax. Since you added a new template, you need to familiarize yourself with how it works.

I have never used that template so I don't know how it is structured. Since it is CSS, you probably want to look in the stylesheet.css file and set the alignment/width there...

Just looked at the files... There are only a few, and right in stlyesheet.css, it is clearly commented on how to change the width of the template:

/* pageWrapper div for centering and fixing width settings! 2005/08/08 */
div#pageWrapper {
position: relative;
margin: 10px auto; /* sets margin from top of browser page to start of web page */
width: 770; /* set total pagewidth or set at 100% */
}

Here is a good tip... view the source of the page in your browser and look for the width (770 in this case). Then search across all the files of the template with a text editor looking for all instances of the number 770. That will tell you exactly where to look for the setting.

You can use that method to find just about anything.
