Hi again,

Can you use a screenshot to show me the module?

In download section you will see a link to download rest files package, just download it and extract then you will see things to install yourself.

hi not sure how to do screen shots but if you look on this page you can see the right module which is right top module in joomla 2.5 where i want it to be 250 px but i think it is about 160 px at the moment. i have a google ad there which is being cut off as the module is not big enough

Try using this css code:
Code: Select all
#gkContent{
width: 54%!important;
}
#gkRight{
width: 26%!important;
}

hi don, i put this in my overide section and it has done nothing as you can see here http://www.headlineplus.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=113

I do not understand, as with the joomla 1.5 template the right module is the proper size but this new joomla 2.5 the modules are not the same sizes as with the older version

I tried with Firebug and it worked for me, please make sure that you have turned on CSS Override mode, you also can try adding the code to file override.css to check if it helps.

Thanks,

Yes you totally can do it yourself, just change the width values in my provided code, decrease width of gkContent and increase the same to gkLeft.

hi can you let me know how to change the sizes for user 4. i would like to make user 6 smaller. i would like to make user six the same size as the right top column on my website http://www.in2town.co.uk

also on my website as you can see from the top of my page in top1 and the right hand side where their is a story about whitney houston, i keep getting one side bigger than the other because i have more text on one side than the other. can you tell me if i can get my site so it is the same size all over no matter what text their is.

also one last thing, where can i find the suffix codes so i can use them, have searched everywhere but cannot find them for colours on this site. i would like to know what is available so i can use them in different modules to change colours etc

any help would be great

Hi,

In order to change sizes of User4:
Code: Select all
.gk-box column.gk-box-center{
width: 100px!important;
height: 100px!important;
}

In order to change sizes of User6:
Code: Select all
.gk-box column.gk-box-right{
width: 100px!important;
height: 100px!important;
}

Change the numbers above to what you want.

I will check to answer the rest question later.

Thanks,

I checked but didn't see them, make sure you have added and then cleared cache data.

Have you also turned on CSS Override mode in template setting? If this doesn't help please send me a PM to provide access info then I will check further for you.
