New .TPL Trouble
 

I created a new tpl file to show up under the search.tpl. I placed it in the head.tpl under the search.tpl. No problem. Everything works but I can't get it to exspand the width 100%.

www.roadrashapparel.com/novelties/home.php

You see the links, Home,,,,,,
The blue line won't exspand 100%

any suggestions?

sorry about that balinor

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

Anybody?

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

Hi Terrybraley,

In Firefox on a mac, the two blue horizontal lines already stretch to 100% of the width of the "page". Do you want the blue lines to stretch to 100% of the viewport?

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

Um.. in your "hor_categories" why is the table width="0" ?

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

If tried changing it to 100%, does no good.

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

I see some other potential problems... in your head.txt file (which I assume is head.tpl)

as far as the :
<tr>
<td class="" width="100%">{include file="customer/hor_categories.tpl"}</td> <<<<<< this will be inside the cell above that includes your login.tpl (and that cell is not closed)
</tr>

It added the links below the search.tpl

Look at www.roadrashapparel.com/novelties/home.php

But it doesn't exspand 100%, not on IE

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

I think the table that you have both search and login is "wrapping" to the next line.
Try this...

<TD class="HeadLine" height="22">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}
</TD>
<TD class="HeadLine" height="22">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="login.tpl" }
{/if}
{* added to close cell and start categories in new cell *}
</TD></TR>
{* / added to close cell and start categories in new cell *}
<tr>
<td class="" width="100%">{include file="customer/hor_categories.tpl"}</td>
</tr>

++++++++++++++++++++
Since the "class" in the code above is blank ("") it will show as whatever your default text is, is that what you want?

Also, I don't understand why the table in hor_categories is only 430 px wide. That could be what is making the "gray bar" only go half way across the page. The blue line goes 100%.

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

Changed that in my head.tpl, but my hor_categories.tpl is:

{* $Id: hor_categories.tpl,v 1.3.2.1 2006/05/10 12:15:08 max Exp $ *}
<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

{**** Horizontal categories ****}

<tr>
<TD width="30">&nbsp;</TD>
<TD><A href="/index.html"Target ="first_window"> Home </A></TD>
<TD width="20">&nbsp;</TD>
<TD><A href="/links2/"Target ="first_window"> Link's </A></TD>
<TD width="20">&nbsp;</TD>
<TD><A href="/phpmyfaq/index.php"Target ="first_window"> FAQ </A></TD>
<TD width="20">&nbsp;</TD>
<TD><A href="/novelties/help.php?section=contactus&mode=update"> Contact Us </A></TD>
</TR>
</FORM>
</TABLE>
{**** /Horizontal categories ****}

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

You said "in hor_categories is only 430 px wide" where do you see that?

Thanks for your help by the way, :)

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

It is in the hor_categories.txt attachment in your first post.

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

I hade it at 430 to push the links all the way to the right. But they all bunched uo in the middle because I can't get that tpl to exspand to the end. So, I changed it to 30 to bring all the links to the left side.

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

OK... the part that goes..
<tr>
<td class="" width="100%">{include file="customer/hor_categories.tpl"}</td>
</tr>

Since the class is undefined (class="") your text for Home, Link's, FAQ, etc will be whatever your default is, with the default background as specified in your skin1.css. It looks like you want it to be (class="HeadLine") as that is what the gray line underneath it is (put there by the part that says <TD class="HeadLine" align="right"> - it is the part that allows changing languages).

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

Well that filled the area with the links to grey but didn't exspand it al the way to the right, This is driving me nuts, lol

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

I wonder if it would be easier to move the hor_catagory above the search. Put it between the top_menu and search.tpl ?

Re: New .TPL Trouble
 

I added this :<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<TR> And now it exspanded.

head.tpl now
