Hi everyone

Finally managed to get back to my site. Need to finish it in like 2 days before the exhibition so any help is appreciated. :eek:

I am trying to get the red border on our brochure pages i.e. About us, The team etc to come from the right hand side of the screen. So far it only lines up with the text. I'm using dreamweaver.

Also I would like to put the brochure title in the red border which will act as a page header.

Any pointers please?

Hi Bruce

You know I can't even remember now!! It's been so long since I started designing the site and it's changed so much to mimic my original site that I used to have that had been designed using Frontpage.

I think it may be either bestseller, curves or smart. Not much help!

Is there anyway of telling from Actnic itself? I clicked on Themes and it says 'There is an errror with your theme. The defauly one has been selected'. This could be on account I have changed it so much??

Edit the Fragment Layout Template, 'Act_TextAndTitle.html' in your case and change it to look something like this....

<!-- TextAndTitle HTML begin -->

<tr>
<td colspan="3" valign="top">

NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR
<table border="0" width="750" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left">
<h3>NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</h3>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="0" width="750" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td align="left"></td>
<td width="70%" align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TEXT</td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
</tr>

<!-- TextAndTitle HTML end -->You will need to change the width etc a per your requirement.

Kind regards,

I would suggest using the option of going into Advanced | Custom Themes | Save site as Theme and proceding, this will createa custom theme that you can then choose from Design | themes | Custom theme.

Kind regards,

Hi Bruce

Thank you for that.

I tried it but it never quite comes out as you imagine it. Anyway I've sort of made it come from the right but I was thinking of having the text stop about half way above the actual page text but it looked odd.

I wanted a sort of contemporary feel to the pages rather then just a border stuck at the top of each page for a title.

To move the title text to where you want it you can use simple CSS.

Based on the code above provided by Bruce replace


<h3>NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</h3>


with


<div class="TitleText">NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</div>


and in the actinic.css file add in something like

.TitleText {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif;
font-size: 120%;
color: #ffffff;
padding-left: 100px;
}

That will move the text along 100px from the left - you can use padding-right if you wanted to offset the other way.

HTH .... may be of use to you

Getting fed up with working our site. Will try your idea later but for now I've stuck it back in the middle. Thanks though! :)
