I am trying to change the vbcms_widget_sectionnavext_page to suit the needs of the site I am creating. I am having trouble changing a couple of things:
1. The title bar of the widget (Offical Content on page) sticks out several pixels past the edge of the rest of the widget below. I've changed shadows, padding, everything I can think of to get that to change. I think it's associated with the width of the widget (a percentage), but I have no idea where it is or how to find it.
2. I want to get rid of the menu expansion within the widget (the '+' or '-' symbol), and have the menus permanently expanded, and not even have the option to close or expand that menu.

Any/all help is greatly appreciated.

It's caused by the style variable vbcms_widget_block_padding, which is adding 6px to the edges.

At the bottom of template vbcms_widget_sectionnavext_page, try commenting out the javascript like this:

<vb:comment>
<script type="text/javascript">
initVbTreeMenus({vb:raw menu_static});
</script>
</vb:comment>


(or you could just delete the script tags and the line in between).

Thanks a bunch, the block padding worked. I could swear I tried that, maybe I'm just dumb.

When you disable that java script it disables that menu entirely. I may need to edit the java script itself, which is fine, I was just hoping there was a built-in option within VB.

Oops, I guess I didn't actually try it, it just seemed to look right. But that thing is a YUI treeview, so there may be a way to configure it. Or maybe you can just leave it commented out but figure out how to turn the html into working links.
