Default Spaces Between Products

Hi,

I have 5 columns of products. How do you reduce the space between each product?

Also how do you reduce the space between the left menu and products main?

I have searched for this but cannot find a thread that addresses these issues.

Thank you very kindly.

Have a look at customer/main/products.tpl. You'll see it is a table-based layout, so you can either decrease the padding in the table, or get rid of the table all together. As for the left margin, that is probably a table cell in customer/home.tpl.

Moving this to the Template Editing forum.

Ryan,

There is a table but no padding.

"<table width="100%">"

Also <td class="PListImgBox">

I adjusted the PListImgBox but it has no affect on the spacing.

Any other suggestions?

Well the table stretches to 100% of the box it is in, so you can't decrease the spacing without either adding another column of products, or decreasing the width of the table.

Adding another column does not decrease the space between products it only inserts a scroll bar at bottom of page...that is a no-no.

Perhaps a screenshot or url would help here, as one of us isn't understanding the other

Ahhh...that explains it, you are using a fluid layout, so the spacing between photos depends on the resolution of the user's computer as the whole thing stretches to fit. Try resizing your browser and you'll see what I mean. If you want to control that, you'd need to set the layout to a fixed-width layout.

I see what you mean. I will have to use four graphics across at a little larger width each.

Well back to the drawing board.

Thanks for your input and patience

Be careful, you need to make sure the design fits on a 1024x768 browser at the minimum without scrolling.
