Hi, what is the best way to change the width a position takes? For example, I have position-1 and position-2, taking on 50%-50%, I want to make them 70%-30%

Thanks

Hi, Marija.

You can do that only by custom hacking - it can't be done via template admin panel.
The best way will be hack certain block (part of template) and add own code (in accordance with Bootstrap 2.3.2).
If you hack existing positions you'll break module administration features.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Ok, that sounds good, if you can give me a little more info, as 'hack certain blocks and add own code' is what I assumed - thanks

Hi, Marija.

First I need to know where you want to add new positions - this will determine particular block and file.
It should be above or below main content?
Above or below certain existing module positions?

Michal, I do not want to add new positions. After 'utility', I have position-1 and position-2. I just want to change the span6 - to span9 and span3

I am very satisfied with socialize, but this has to be the biggest downside - not being able to change the widths of the modules

Looking forward to the suggestions

It can't be done via admin panel but only by custom hack - what will break module administration feature.
Modules grid can be divided only to equal parts. Spans are calculated dynamically taking settings from admin panel...
Only solution is to create few new positions.

Thank you Michal, that is definitely something that needs improving. In the meantime, I decided to use the maintop-component and sidebar to achieve the desired look, and I will shift all other modules below.
