cheap gaming pcs Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi All Can any one tell me which CSS file defines the width of your page. As my page width is very small Thanks for your help Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Gary, You should find this in your theme's global.css file. Can you please post your URL so that we can take a look at this for you? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocothecat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 either the body tag or i would look to see if you have a container or a wrapper starting in the header template, track that down in the css and see what the width is set to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap gaming pcs Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Thanks for getting back to me . My url is uk?gaming?pcs.co.uk .. With out the question markes I have been looking through the global css i could not find a wrapper But i did find the below . Is that the right place .

Carl Favre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Gary, Is it not just a zoom problem on IE? Can you check that zoom is 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap gaming pcs Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Favre Thanks for all your help Could you explain how to check the zoom ? Many Thanks Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It is in IE options, you should have a zoom menu. Or you can try the shortcut CTRL + 0 to reset it to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap gaming pcs Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Favre Thanks for getting back to me . Its is under the page tab in IE .

Say if i took it up to 1200 As it stands now i think the site look very bad . because of the size . But when it set to 125 zoom it look perfect Do you have any iders ?

Carl Favre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ok so now both sites have the same "size" ? Then it is just a problem of font-size to change in your css file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap gaming pcs Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Favre Yes both site have the same size now . If i change the font-size in css file .Will that make the whole site bigger ? Is the font size in the globle css Thanks Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It will make the font bigger, not the whole site. if you want the whole site bigger you have to change width of the columns, center, etc. Many more things. And yes, you should find the font-size in global.css Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Favre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You have to set Cache to NO and Forced Compilation to YES in your backoffice preferences/performances menu. Then, refresh your page and it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap gaming pcs Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Favre Im using PS 1.3.1 as that is the only one the template will work with 1.3.1 dose ot have the tabs preferences/performances menu. Is there another way to force Compilation Thanks Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ah indeed no such menu. You have to manually delete the files in tools\smarty\cache and tools\smarty\compile (except the index.php, you must not delete it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
