Module/Container/Pane Width settings 

Hi,

I purchased a DNN skin that I am very happy with and I am currently in the process of desing my site.

I am having trouble managing the layout when it come to how much room each module takes up on my site. How do I change the default witdth for a module or ateast a specific module. Right now the modules have a mind of their own and either expand across the page or have some type of default setting such as links.

Thanks!

Re: Module/Container/Pane Width settings 

This depends greatly on the skin, but in general there is either a setting for the width of a pane or no setting, allow it to expand at will.  Sometimes you will find minimum or maximum settings.  This may be in the skin itself, as in a table setting, or in the CSS file.  To fix your problem, you need to modify this to meet your needs, possibly adding a setting if there isn't one.

Re: Module/Container/Pane Width settings 

hi  i am not an exprt but I have found the same problem ( dnn collapses empty panes and adjusts filled panes to fit all empty space, no pane width parameters in the skin file help to fix this) and solution was to make an image ( call it spacer.gif ) it should be same color as your background and then you place image module  ( no container no header for this one as it should be invisible to the user ) in each pane that you don't want to collapse and make the image properties to the required width of the pane.

Lets say you want you right pane to be not less than 180 px, then you place image module to show spacer.gif and  set the properties of a spacer.gif to 180px. this will prevent this pane from collapsing less than 180 px .. I hope you got me :) I am not so great of a tutor :)  this one sounds hard but it's very easy  when you try it!

let me know if I helped :)

Re: Module/Container/Pane Width settings 

I found some Width settings in the CSS of my skin but it is obvious certain modules display differently in the same Pane.

For example: When I have two modules on one page. The first Module is the Banner module which sites in the middle content pane. The second module is the html/txt module and that module sits in the middleleft pane. The Banner module only takes about around 33% of the screen while the html module takes up 66% percent. Now if I switch which pane the modules sits in the ratios stay the same for each module. To me this states the module has some Styling which is overriding my CSS file.

Has anyone different modules displaying widths? If so how did you change this?

I don't know  but my text module on content pane was always spilling all over the available empty space untill I filled left and right panes with spacer images...
