How i would like it to look


Just look at the space between the outer line and the plugin box line they are touching in the first pic, as i have not used the right hand column plugin spaces. Second picture is how i want it too look.

Anyone point me in the right direction? im useing a modified version of the Doom3 skin.

Hi Zacman,

open the file design1.php & go to line 128.

You will see this line

if($column1)
echo '<td width="206" style="padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px;" valign="top" align="right">';
else
echo '<td width="206" style="padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px;" valign="top" align="right">';

Make your change at the *padding-right* & it will work

That changes the padding in this picture,

shown in the red circle. and it does not effect the padding show on the top picture

Can you attach your modified version "design1.php" of Doom so it would be easier
to look for the right thing. :rolleyes:

No problem...


Hi Zacman,

i hope I have fixed your problem...

the only thing what you have to do is playing
with the padding...

have a try...

[Zacman]

although thats changed the padding to the right on the pages with only the middle and left column used, its also changed the padding when all columns are used. take a look at the home page:

www.equinox-clan.co.uk

[Zacman]

I have edited a bit myself, mainly trial and error :)

I only need to sort 2 things out making the plugins in the left and right coloumn a bit bigger and sorting out the image gallery, will post a pic after.

ok when you havent got a clue what your looking for this is quite difficult :P

The padding is great now! its just the plugins on the left and right columns are too small.


So how would i go about getting the padding from the new design1.php and the plugin widths of the old design1.php

[Zacman]

Ok i have done it :D

I removed the td width 100% out of the code you put in and it seemed to work.

Here is what i got to in the end:


[edit] wrong! i havent done it, the home page looked fine but the rest of the pages looked stupid. So again im stuck on making the left and right column plugins a little bigger. Its no major biggie, it would just be the icing on the cake :D
