CForrester · #1 09-24-2003, 01:18 AM

Hi I'm going round-and-round trying to make this site have the left hand menu right up to the left hand side but can't seem to do this either in the head.tpl or categories.tpl
site is at

(thanks to others for noticing that i want to warn other members - this is an ADULT CONTENT SITE - DON'T VIEW AT WORK OR IF YOU ARE UNDER 18....prob. not very good for your immediate employment prospects if found looking during work)

any help appreciated.
thanks
chris

In the customer/hometpl there is a 6px column down the left hand side.

no idea why xcart put that there...annoying to remove that on every xcart install.

Hi thanks for posting, i made the column width 0 in the home.tpl (i've got that with <html>
<body RIGHTMARGIN=0 BOTTOMMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" etc etc
in it as it doesn't got right to the top otherwise and looks pants.......but it's still the same distance off the left side
the code is now

<table border=0 width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center">
<tr>
<td class=VertMenuBox width=0></td>
<td class=VertMenuBox width=150 valign=top><font color="#CCCCCC"> {
include file="customer/categories.tpl" } {if $active_modules.Bestsellers ......etc etc

can i access this VertMenuBox class or is it just a css with colours etc in not dimensions / widths ?
I tried left justifying the categories.tpl but that doesn't seem to work either.
i may revisit the original tpl files in the back up dir to see what they're widths are.

Remove the <td class=VertMenuBox width=0></td> and it will work fine

That line (<td class=VertMenuBox width=6></td>) is located at ....../single/home.tpl if you want to rid it from your admin panel.

CForrester · #8 09-24-2003, 07:07 AM

thanks I'll try that too......what does that reference to it in the single/home.tpl do as the /customer/home.tpl seemed to do the trick ?

It puts the same annoying spaces before the left menu in your cart admin section

I'm using 3.4.8, and I deleted that line in "both" files and it didn't do anything. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm talking about this line:

Code:

<td class=VertMenuBox width=6> </td>

in single/home.tpl and customer/home.tpl.
