CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Greetings - my form is showing up just fine on my Joomla 1.5.9 site but I need to make it display wider and cannot find where to do it.  I looked in the page code and find: class="form-layout-compressed" but don't know where to find the variable in order to change it IF that is the determining factor. 

A link to the way it looks is here: http://yogaville.org/option,com_civicrm/Itemid,121/

I don't know if the handler is within CiviCRM or with the Joomla Template actually - Thank you for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply Kurund - much appreciate it. 

Well, I found in civicrm.css:

#crm-container #main {
height: 95%;
width: 95%;
left: 1%;
top: 1%;
position: relative;
}

and change the width to 100%

This helped a bit but I still need to make some small tweaks in the form and it would be much quicker for me [less of a learning curve] to change variables in .tpl or .php files as the links you sent me are beyond me at this time. 

The things I'd like to change on the same page are really pretty small:

1. after Email Address field need a hard break before "I am contributing on behalf of an organization."

2. widen text area of intro text under heading

stuff like that - are you able to identify the pages I'd want to make these changes to? 

Thanks for your assistance

Thanks Dave, I'll go on and get into it - I did realize that the width issue I "was having" was fixed through Joomla, it had to do with some of the mod settings on those pages is all - my bad! 

I must say that CiviCRM is so indepth, feature rich right outta the box, I best spend more time getting a hang of the basics.  Came along just in time for a new project for another associate non-profit community - this is gonna be really sweet! 

Thanks to all you guys who give of yourselves to help newbies like me get going - the magic of Open Source communities - now if only life mimicked that type of community support our world would look a bit different!

Be well and happy
Ron
