♥14steve14 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There is a post here somewhere that explains how to do this.. Open catalog/includes/classes/osc_template.php and find the code stating on line 13 similar to class oscTemplate { var $_title; var $_blocks = array(); var $_grid_container_width = 24; var $_grid_content_width = 16; var $_grid_column_width = 4; The container width stays at 24. The content width you can alter, as you can the column width. Just remember that the column width doubles (as there are a right and left column) plus the content width must equal 24. (4+4+16=24) There are also posts in this forum on having two different width columns. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_whale Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 thanks, steve! any reason why the container width must stay at 24? can i make it less? (i tried to change the container width to other numbers, and the page got jumbled up.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 oscommerce 2.3 is based on the 960 grid system. Altering the container width will, as you found out, mess with the site looks. It is possible to change the overall width of the store, again there are posts telling how to do this. Failing that HAVE A READ OF THIS REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_whale Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 thanks, steve! the 960 grid site really helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73wm73 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 There are also posts in this forum on having two different width columns. Can anyone point me to the posts that describe having two different width columns in 2.3.1? I am unable to find anything on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
