Hello There!

I need your help as i want to customize the Socialize Template and I am not sure about the proper way to do so.
I use the custom.css already to change css, and it works just fine.
Also i have change the frontage.guests.php

But now, i do not need the Main Content Area, and i just try to overlap that with the modules. (So, it looks like this image attached).
Is it a good way to do so?
Is is OK if I just says display:none; to this area?

Many Many thanks for your help!

Sonia

Hi, Sonia.

No, display: none; will hide main content area for good... and probably you want to display it for logged in users, right.

Well, you can modify template sho this area is shown only for registered users... but this is a core hack.
(WARNING! Core file hack! Please, make safe copy of edited file. It means also that this file will be overwritten during upgrade, so please make a safe copy of customized file as well)

Edit this file: ROOT/templates/socialize/tpls/blocks/mainbody-js.php

in line 11 change this:

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
$user = JFactory::getUser();

<div id="t3-content" class="t3-content <?php echo $this->getClass($layout, $col) ?>" <?php echo $this->getData ($layout, $col++) ?>>
      <div class="t3-content-inner">
        <jdoc:include type="message" />
        <jdoc:include type="component" />
      </div>
    </div>

<div id="t3-content" class="t3-content <?php echo $this->getClass($layout, $col) ?>" <?php echo $this->getData ($layout, $col++) ?>>
    <?php if ($user->id != 0) { ?>
      <div class="t3-content-inner">
        <jdoc:include type="message" />
        <jdoc:include type="component" />
      </div>
      <?php } ?>
    </div>
