m8internet Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 When upgrading from v4.5.2 to v5.0.2 the admin area has changed from 1 plain column into 2 columns with boxes that can be moved around I much prefer a single column, so tried the other templates, but I didn't much like the look of them (and the simple one failed to display any data) I therefore moved all the boxes into 1 column, in the hope the interface would realise I only want 1 column and spread the data contained within them, but there was no change Please advise how to change this, if anyone has managed to do so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 First off go to V5.0.3 as 5.0.2 was pretty buggy. I haven't tried it but open the style.css file and on line 797 you will find .homecolumn { float: left; width: 50%; padding-bottom: 100px; } changing the width to 100% should do the trick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m8internet Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I have just applied that after chasing through the source code, then found you had replied with the same change! This worked, so was coming back to update this thread You also have to amend the bottom-padding to 0px, otherwie there is a gap in the middle I only apply one update at a time and have only just updated to v5.0.2 as there have been very few reports of any issues I am not finding any issues with v5.0.2 I will have to leave updating to v5.0.3 for some time I spent some time reapplying the modifications previously in place, and upgrading again would mean going beack through this process again... Something for another day Now the next step is to update some of the widgets as they are either aligned to the left with empty space (as they are deisgned for 50% width) or centred with space on each side Very easy to fix Edited April 22, 2012 by m8internet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m8internet Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've noticed a slight error in : Recent Client Activity 5 lines show correctly However there is a 6th line No Records Found So I took the obvious and changed the lines from 5 to 6, but all this did was increase the lines from 5 to 6 and this creates a 7th line with the same error I can't find anything wrong within : modules/widgets/client_activity.php Please advise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

othellotech Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Please advise how to change this, if anyone has managed to do so? You cant. We scrapped most of the built in widgets and the whole of the admin homepage so go to our own dashboard and 1 column. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m8internet Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 You cant You can, the details are outlined above I had to perform the same amendment on upgrading from v5.0.2 to v5.0.3 It's really simple and effective You then have to tidy up some of the widgets, more so in v5.0.3 as they are aligned central Another amendment I had to make in this upgrade was to modify the page width The homepage is 900px but the header is 1420px As a result they are not aligned, seems to be a slight oversight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
