Hi everyone

I am setting up a new site for a friend but really struggling with the new templates in 4.4.5

I have managed to edit the template so the site isnt full width, but cant get it to center properly:

http://www.mediaservit.co.uk/shop/

I am also trying to add a background similar to the homepage, but that doesnt seem to work either http://www.mediaservit.co.uk

Would sincerly appreciate it if anyone caan give me an help as to what I have done wrong, I have tried searching the forums, and have tried other suggestions for centering the site, but it doesnt seem to work correctly on my site.

Many thanks

Jon

Hi Jon, try this:
#page-container {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 2px;
position: relative;
width: 1200px;
}


Add your background image to the body:
html, body {
background: url("../images/bg.jpg") repeat-x scroll center top transparent;
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
Make these edits to /css/altskin.css of your current template.
Place bg.jpg in the /images directory of your current template

Hi Mike

Thanks so much for your reply and assistance.

I have applied your edits and they have worked, but I have a white bar running down the right side of the site, which also seems to be knocking the site off centre.

Thanks again

Jon

Jon,
It looks like your content container is set to 80%
#content-container {
clear: both;
float: left;
margin-top: 140px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 39px;
position: relative;
width: 80%;
}

That is what is causing the white bar I believe.

Works perfectly

Thanks so much for your help
