Blocks stretching...

My site doesn't display any system blocks on the right or left---so which files do I edit to stop the modules (contact, xoopsfaq, forums, etc) from stretching across the page (screen)?

If I edit the .css [line for] #maintable to lessen the width, EVERYTHING SHRINKS and I don't want that to happen---I just want the width of the displayed modules to be less than 100%.

And if I edit my theme.html in the same manner, nothing happens...Where do I go to fix this?

Re: Blocks stretching...

I believe the settings for block width would be within the templates. The templates makes the blocks. The themes only skin them.

There is no setting for width in any system/templates/blocks .html file...To clarify the issue:

My site doesn't display any block or module on the right or left side of the screen. All the modules I use (system, faq, news, contact us, links, sections, forum, my-album-p, xoopopchat, buddyfriends and polls) are stretched across the screen as seen in the image below (the faq is shown):

The same thing happens with everything in the user menu. Notice how the main menu and the user menu are displayed (the user profile is shown):

I need to adjust the width of everything to match the width of the main menu at the top of the page...how do I do this?

I've looked through the templates folder in each module and no changes I make to any modules/XXXXX/templates/XXXX.html has any effect on the width problem, so where is the fix for this hiding in Xoops?...Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

I'd say the reason you can't find anything to change is that the theme hasn't been designed for a site with no side columns. Your best bet would be to view the site using Mozilla/Firefox with the extension installed that allows you to view the CSS class and ID details, and try adjusting the appropriate values in your style sheet for the theme.

not sure what theme you are using, but you can define your content div. for example:

style.css

#content_div {
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; /* top, right, bottom, left */
}


theme.html

<{$xoops_contents}>

This is what I thought I'd need to do but I haven't done so because I'm unsure as to here to put the content_div in the theme.html...Any ideas?

FYI, I use the "phpbbstyle" theme:

Oddly enough...
<div id="content"><{$xoops_contents}>div>


...is already on line 119, just under...


There was no content_div in the .css for this theme, so I added...
#content_div {
padding: 10px 90px 10px 90px; /* top, right, bottom, left */
}


..and STILL nothing happens, no changes are made. ??? This is getting weird.

(and yes, the "Update module, template..." setting is set to YES in my admin)
