for example when you open yahoo page on a higher resolution desktop, there are empty spaces at both sides of the page (left and right).. try to open and see..
but when you open XOOPS website, the template automatically resizes to fill up the whole screen....
please try to understand what i mean...

i want to limit my template so that it doesn;t automatically resizes acording to desktop resolutions but stay at a fixed template width of "800px" or something else...

Yes, it's possible.
Download a fixed theme like this and see how they did it there.
Never let a man who does not believe something can be done, talk to a man that is doing it.

Its often done by adding a "wrapper" class to theme.html and then setting the "wrapper" setting in style.css

Take a look at the coding in some fixed-width themes and it will soon become apparent that it's easy to do

Hi,

Follow these steps:

1- Go into your theme folder: xoops_root/themes/your_theme_folder
2- open theme.html file with your favorite html editor like dreamweaver or another software
3- if your whole page is contained in a table i.e the table which contains all elements (header, left_block, center_block, right_block, footer) define width by adding style property like that:
style="width:800px">
in place of 800px, you can also put 900px, or 1000px, or another width.
You can also define style into body like that:
style="width:800px">

I hope that this answer will help you

thanks serial-weber
my XOOPS site now has a fixed width
i used the code
however my whole site is aligned in the left side of the screen
there is a lot of empty space in the right side but none in the left..
so how can i align my site in the center?

i've tried the div id="wrapper" but it doesn't work
is there any trick to make it align center using the tag?
please help?

Hi waleedpak,

I am glad to see that you resolved your problem

Now, to center the whole page
Follow these steps:

1- Go into your theme folder: xoops_root/themes/your_theme_folder
2- open theme.html file with your favorite html editor like dreamweaver or another software
3- if your whole page is contained in a table i.e the table which contains all elements (header, left_block, center_block, right_block, footer) define your page position by adding style property like that:
; text-align:center">
in place of center, you can put right, or left.

You can also use your style.css file to define width, color and position of your pages

I hope that this reply will help you
