Centralize Module position

Post by leelazarus » Mon Dec 13, 2010 8:34 am

Hi Guys

I have searched the forum for some answer here but i cant seem to find anything that helps?

Here the scoop:

I have created a template in a brilliant piece of software(Artiseer)-Worth every penny...

But now when I add the Gallery View module and set it to the Banner 1 or even top1 or any banner or top position it gets aligned to the left. I need to cetralize it...

Many thanks

Guru's...Lol :p

Worth every penny? How's the support?

Hi...

You can use Modul Class Suffix for change the align module position

1.
Put this code in your template.css file. You can add it at the end of the line of the template.css file
You can find the template.css file in this path : /templates/templates-name/css

Code: Select all

div.customstyle1
{
text-align: center;
}
Save.

2.
- Go to Module manager, open the module name you want to edit / change the align (in this case is Gallery View module)
- In the right panel, you would getting "Module Class Suffix" parameter, type <space> + "customstyle1" ( customstyle1), must with Space
- Save.

3.
Clear up the Joomla cache and browser cache for see the result.

Review also this tutorial >>> http://docs.joomla.org/Tutorial:Using_C ... ass_Suffix

Hope this helps ;)

Hi...

Usually (not always) the templates created by Artisteer is has module positions like this :

"Left, right, user 1, user 2, user 3, user 4, user 5, top 1, top 2, top 3, breadcrumb, banner 1, banner 2, banner 3, banner 4, banner 5, banner 6, bottom 1, bottom 2, bottom 3, syndicate and copyright"

right ?

Try for setting the Gallery View Module in the "Top 2" or "Bottom 2" position
Or if you do not mind, please post about your template here (in attachment), I will tried it in my pc

;)

Hi

I tried that and it still sets it the left, I have attached my template take a look and see, try any module in those positions and see which one you can centralize, i basically needed the gallery view module to be in the center after the text/body of my homepgae.

thanks again

Hi...

I've tried your template in my pc, and I can gets aligned to the center perfectly. See in the attachment
In my post above, the code is like this :

Code: Select all

div.customstyle1
{
text-align: center;
}
Please remove div code, so it's looks like this :

Code: Select all

.customstyle1
{
text-align: center;
}
Hope this helps ;)

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I just want to make sure im doing the right thing here:

1.I have added under the module suffix for gallery view- (space)+"customstyle1" ( customstyle1)

Question: I know this might be dumb so please excuse me, but must i add the + sign and the (customstyle1) as well?

2.Thereafter I added at the end of my template( template\arenatours\css\template.css file
.customstyle1
{
text-align: center;
}

3. i cleared the cache and still it sets itself to the left?

Maybe if you can upload your edited version of my template so i can have a look and see exactly where i went wrong.

Thank you once again.

Make sure you clean up the Browser cache, not only Joomla cache

If you didn't add any module id : try this css

#photos-{ margin:0 auto !important;}

Hope that helps!
