css and div

[thesilbi]

Hi again,

When I want to use "CSS DIV" for my layout, all my blocks are the ones other the others : no more position or well sized block.

Any idea ?

I think if you are asking how you can take over the layout completely using css you can make your own style sheet and upload it to the ./phpwcms_template/inc_css/ folder and then you can choose it from the template page. This way you can design your site how ever you wish and just have {CONTENT} in the div or span where you want your article data to show up. I hope this helps

My error is simple : the header block used all the width, then, (and just below) the "left" colum. It's used also all the width, and then again with the main block, .......

Did I need to use a css stylesheet to set the position and the size of all the blocks ? The admin page doesn't do it itself ?

Thanks

I think if you use the position with css selection in the page layout section you have to edit the default style sheet or attach your own with your changes. I do not think you can do it in the pagelayout admin area since it will not edit the css files. You can look at the index page to get the block ids (vew source ) and just add/edit the css file. The default doesn't have any formatting for the main block and such so you can add it yourself if you want to change it or add a new stylesheet as I said in an earlier post. Let me know if this answers your question.

Great! Glad to see this can be done. I prefer css/div layouts to HTML tables. I'm at the "looking things over" stage as far as phpwcms is concerned, and that was one of my concerns.
