Joomla Templates

Hello, I am working on a gaming site for my EQ2 guild. I am trying to get the middle column to auto strech 100% when viewed in a browser. Is it possible to tell me what file and what line of code do I need to edit to achieve this?

This is the only problem that is keeping me from purchasing a license for this awsome template.

Please help.

Hiya,
This is actually not possible with this particular template because the top and bottom rounded slices are fixed width.
It is quite difficult to do what you are suggesting with a transparent template because most of the methods for creating fluid layouts with rounded corners etc require that the corner slices overlap the repeating background slice - with transparency this creates a layered effect.
However there are options such as this two column version:

This is still fixed width of course.

Additionally are you absolutely certain you want fluid width? I'm personally not a big fan because text gets quite hard to read when it is spread out - and I currently work on a 24inch monitor.

Lastly it would be a lot easier to code a fluid width transparent template if square corners were used - would only need on repeating background slice.

I;ve done something along those lines here stuntpixel.com/ though it isnt fluid at this stage it's a lot closer than transparent bliss.

Ok where can I get the 2 column version of transparent bliss. Next, how about making everything left justified. The reason I am asking this is I saw a previous post where Kfizzle (a friend of mine) asked the same thing. You told him to edit the .png images to enlarge the content block.

What I would like to do is make the site all left justified using the 2 column version therefore creating more room to enlarge the .png images. This way I can achieve very close to what I am looking for. I do understand it will still be fixed, but I plan on having a forums board view in the content block and squeezing forums in a narrow block like that drives me crazy.

What do I need to do to achieve this? What files should I edit?

hello there, i would also like the 2_COL version of the template, i am actualy in the middle of doing this myself and it would be very useful if you have already gone to the trouble.

Thank you very much.

Sweet, thanks Big Bear. Now here is my last question at least for now.

Is it possible to have this template left justified? If it is how do I do this?

My goal is to setup the site to fit perfectly on a resolution of 1280x1024. Anyone else is just gonna have to deal with the extra space.

Well it wouldn't be hard to do the left justify, but it does work on the res you mention anyway because it is centered and 990px wide so you'd have a 100px or so either side.

Let me know if you still want to left justify it.

Just had a thought - the screen shot of TB on the right, the one shrunk down to a thumbnail, it is 1280x1024 originally - you can see how it sits on that res.

thank you very much - you are a star. many thanks.
