info_box_content / info_box size?

[Guest]

How are the boxes / info_box_content size dictated by??

 

i have been searching all over, and i just cant see where this is done - i ask, because i am writing a subdirectory (see question about arrays) and atm, i can link to my subdirectory box and it open, but it spans the fill center console.

I want to limit its size horizontally to 150px for example.

 

Do i place the info_box_content/php/array tag within a table and give it, its dimensional size? is this a good way of writing code??

catalog/includes/application_top.php

find

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

 

change 125 to 150

oh no steve-o - your very right thank you!

 

good evening sir,

 

http://www.ilike-centre.com/ernst00.php u'll see that this has happened, and what i want to do. so your very right and i am about to implement that on making them smallso thank you, but it doesnt apply to center console - i think.

The iframe beneath it, is to bit to sit along side, but internal subdirectory box shouldnt run arcoss no?

if using an info box outside a column its something like:

 

$info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center',
									   'params' => ' width="150px" valign="top"',
									   'text' => $content );

you've nailed it sam.

 

ok, sam i have punched in all that information and it hasnt worked.

 

this is the bastardised php code i started to use. - what i dont understand is how all of a sudden the ethicalstore advert has popped in this main frame. - i will say i did bastardise the paypal box ;-). just not sure whats calling it up. and why i cant removed all the FILENAME_ stuff without the php spitting back and error.

 

any plain and simple advise where i am going wrong and whats happening so i can work it out will be great Sam.

 

here is my rubbish code.

 

and thank again for that jem!

 

<?php
$info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'left',
									   'params' => ' width="150px" valign="top"',
									   'text' => $content );
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'Products' );

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' =>
