Hi, I've just got myself a virtuemart theme that had 10px padding included in the product details (like articles) and thats all wonderful!

Though I'm having a problem finding out what & where in the template css I put padding options for the "article" content with the Bolt template.

I added two images showing my problem and one with the problem solved.

Any response I would be grateful.

Odd, can you provide a link.

Also, have tried editing #contentholder in the CSS?

After some private help from Stephen (messaging), I've got it right.

In the CSS document of the Bolt template:

.threecolumns #center {
margin:0 10px 0 170px;
width:620px;

Replaced with this:

.threecolumns #center {
margin:0 10px 0 170px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
width:600px;

I couldn't get it to work with the padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px method, but this above works.

Thanks
Vegard

Hey, Steve.

I am having the same problem with the main body content too close to the left and right edges -- see highlighted screen shot attached -- only I've got two columns, not three (left column and center column, with no right column).

Please tell me how I can add some padding to the left and right of the main article body css; the text needs more white space.

Thanks.
Scott

Hi Steve,

I just tried this solution below as you suggested for my problem, but to no avail - the first column is being pushed down and across somehow.

My width was 480, so I reduced it to 460 [which in itself seems counter-intuitive as the 3 columns use the full 960px...?] Anyway I changed the code to:

.threecolumns #center {
margin:0 10px 0 170px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
width:460px;
}

to no avail. IE7 still affected. A screen grab showing the problem is attached to this post.

Garth,

Your issue is the vspace and hspace attributes on the image tags of the misaligned images. Get rid of those, and everything should straighten out.

Nice layout concept, btw! Never would have thought of that.

Sam, you're my hero! As for Joomla editors, there is a BIG gap in the market for someone like Alledia to bundle templates such as Bolt with an editor pre-configured NOT to change code and add in elements such as vspace without being asked!! I've now changed JoomlaFCK accordingly.

Thanks guys! Alledia is up there with my favourite Joomla suppliers - pretty near the top!
