Infobox Changes - Please Advise??

[swiftmed]

Hey Guys,

 

 

I need to make some changes to the infobox's on an oscommerce install for a customer. He wants me to make the infobox's wider and the text slightly bigger. well i know how to change the size of the text but not the width of the infobox's.

 

And if you also know this, does anybody know how i could change the header of the infobox's to like a rounded gradient image?

 

 

 

Your advice will be much appreciated. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi.

 

To change the width of the columns (and therefore the infoboxes, you will need to change the width value in includes/application_top.php around line 60

 

  define('BOX_WIDTH', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125)

 

In regard a rounded gradient, if you just want the box to be the one size (not recommended) then just insert an image in there. There is a great tutorial on infoboxes in the knowledge base.

 

If you want a fluid box (that is, it will expand and contract with the content in there), it is a little more difficult.

 

You will need to know how to create the look of the box in an image editor such as photoshop, slice it and then apply the slices.

 

To make it all work on the site, I would suggest the infobox skin manager contribution

includes/application_top.php (Line 59):

 

define('BOX_WIDTH', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125)
