Guest Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 If the image is for the small boxes adjust the image size and set the width of the boxes. They are generally set to 125 but can be adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofor Posted July 8, 2003 Author Share Posted July 8, 2003 hmmmm, it didnt make any difference, the image size is bigger, but i see the whole image, and the boxes get resized to the same size as the column, Don't die with the music in you!!!

Guest Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 You should be able to change the table width of the column in default.php. Its around line 49 and looks like this: <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <!-- left_navigation //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?> <!-- left_navigation_eof //--> </table></td> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofor Posted July 8, 2003 Author Share Posted July 8, 2003 ok, im still very lost, because i try to change it but it will consistently stay the same width for some reason, Don't die with the music in you!!!

Silencer Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Open /includes/application_top.php Find define('BOX_WIDTH', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels and change to what you want There is always more than one way to do it.

Kristofor Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 that changes the size of the whole column, this is the code i have in default.php for the left column, <!-- body //--> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top" class="columnleftback"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"> <!-- left_navigation //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?> <!-- left_navigation_eof //--> </table></td> <!-- body_text //--> is there something i am doing wrong??? Don't die with the music in you!!!

Kristofor Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 ok, i sort of got it figured out, i went into the specific boxes .php file and i changed the <tr> <td> to <tr width="173"><td width="173"> that will sort of do what i want, now just how can i change the background image for each individual box??
