Callout and Content Area - formatting and Spacing

Recommended Posts

ssmcvay

www.johnscreekyoga.com - I'm trying to create a messaging area that I can change out regularly. I imagine new information being added frequently. I have inserted a callout, but there are a few issues: The header is too big The space between the content area and the call out is too wide. Any suggestions?

If you use Firefox, use [url="http://www.getfirebug.com"]Firebug[/url] to determine the CSS elements you wish to change. You'll likely be looking for font sizes and padding. Chrome has a built in element inspection tool, though I've not really used it. When you've identified the CSS, copy it; edit it to your preferences and then go to Dashboard > PageLines > Settings > Custom Code and paste it into CSS Rules as the last line (not above body {}). Save and you should see the results desired. It may need a little tweaking here and there.

I'm having a similar issue and my coding skills suck. I'd like to tighten up the area between the callout and the content, but not quite sure how to code it. Can one of you smart people give us hand please? www.harp-refi-net

@ssmcvay What do you mean by "the header is too big?" I see you already have what seems to be custom CSS for the callout padding. if you figured that out on your own, nice work! And if you did, when you changed it, you notice that it didn't work entirely, so the next thing to do would be to inspect the section below it and change the padding on that. Each section has its own padding. If you're only using the callout on the home page, you can use the following custom CSS (if not, remove the .home but it may affect other site elements): [code].home .mcolumn-pad { padding-top: 0px !important; }[/code] @diesel Feel free to start your own topic next time so your question doesn't get overlooked. :) But I understand why you did because your question is the same. You can use the same code as above as long as you're only using the content on the home page (if not, just remove .home but may affect other site elements).

Diesel -- I am having the same problem. We shouldn't have to hire someone to do custom CSS when everything looked fine before the upgrade. I too am struggling with a callout section that doubled in size when I upgraded. It looks like you went back to Platform Pro instead of sticking with the huge fonts and spaces with the Frameworks 2.0 upgrade. Out of the box Platform Pro looks a whole lot better than the upgrade. Of all of my Platform Pro sites I have only upgraded one of them to the new Framework 2.0. I am a real estate agent, not a programmer. There's no way I'm changing the default CSS. Other than that, I'm doing okay. I still would rather see a change in the out of-the-box settings. Will there be a patch forthcoming?
