Hello,

What is the correct way to format the size of the sidebar and content?

Like for example on the homepage the widgets on the right, I want them to be a bit wider how do I achieve this please?

BTW I don't mean making a new grid with my own %

I mean defining the widths manually

You need to make a new grid with the correct width. That is the only way it works in the CMS.

Hi :)

thanks, but what is the file that actually has the code?

Has what code? The widgets just fit the area they are put into. They have no width. I suppose you could say that code is in the template. But, if you go and set that width to bigger than the grid allows, it will probably just be cut-off. The grid is what you need to change.

I just found that you can edit the template files via the admincp rather than open the file manually, really nice function I must say.

I wanted to define the widths as integers rather than percentages.

thanks anyway
