Hello All,


If you go tohttp://www.SDSUforChrist.com you will see I have a minicalendar setup but it looks wierd because it is aligned left, not center. While in the block administration page, I see it uses the side_block_left template. Is there a way to clone the Side_block_left, and add <ceter></center> tags to center everything in that block, then apply it to the minicalendar? And where can I find side_block_left to edit anyways?

as it is the mini call is governed by the css properties of the left column. is there a template for mincal.html? if so you could use a div tag around the .html

there is many ways to do it, but something like this would work: <div style="margin-left: 10 px;">template.html</div>

you could edit your style.css included with your theme to affect the left column this is the relevant css:

td#leftcolumn {width: 200px; font-size:12px; background : #FFFFFF; }
td#leftcolumn th {background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; vertical-align: middle;}
td#leftcolumn .blockTitle {padding: 8px; background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(blocktitle.jpg); color: #FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; text-align: center; }
td#leftcolumn .blockContent {padding: 3px; line-height: 120%; line-height: 120%;background-color: #eee;margin-bottom:8px; background : #FFFFFF; }

You can also duplicate your template and modify that... might be a better solution.

Hi shaxs,

Sounds complicated... If you just want to align the calendar frame on your home page to the center of the left column block it's sitting in... do it the hard way!!

FTP into your site and locate /pical/images/default/minical.tmpl.html

Pull the file and open in a TEXT editor or copy and paste into your favorite TEXT editor.

Put <div align="center"> right on line 2 below

<pattemplate:tmpl name="WholeBoard">

then on the 2nd last line put </div> right above

</pattemplate:tmpl>

Save upload and see if that helps...

Right on target

as a rule, i always try to use css and templates first. and, yes there is a bit of a learning curve, but once in place it is very easy to affect change.
