Hi Evan, well to tell you the truth even if I send out the current version now, you still won't have the latest version, because I'm constantly improving it (I will need to test the improvement first though, before mass sending it out =).

It looks like with the latest version is stable and a lot of the 'under-the-hood' codes had been rewrite, although the front-end design will mostly be the same.

Anyway, I'm currently working on a "ProductLaunchScript" to handle a membership to let the rest of the Warriors download whenever there's the latest version of BWT (and/or other scripts/products =).

In the meantime, since the core template runs on database, 'theoretically' you can still make adjustment to the current version without fearing of the updated version changing to the default setting or messing up the layout...

Anyway, I hope I'll complete the ProductLaunchScript soon (among other things/sites that I managed: please rest assure that, I'm also using BWT, so if you have any question that can be answered I'll be happy to reply =).

Regards,

~Mint Tree~

Mint Tree,

I have one more question about the BWT css style. I have looked through the css code shown by viewing source, but I can find no css code that controls the parameter I need help with.

Question: How do I control the thickness of the right sidebar title box? Not the width, but the height. If you go to http://www.proproductsourcing.com and look at the right sidebar, the title box says "Product Sourcing Directory Info." Below that, the next title box says, "Recent Posts."

Please list the exact right side bar css style code that will allow me to change this variable.

Thank you again,

Evan

Hi Evan, look for the CSS class of that widget which in most case either “Rsidebar-title” or “Lsidebar-title”. The CSS to control the 'Height' of ALL the Sidebar Boxes/Widgets would be the padding or margin.

For Right Sidebar Title:

.Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

For Right Sidebar Content Box (below its Title):

.Rsidebar {padding:10px 3px 10px 3px;}

*Note: the padding pixels are applied as the padding INSIDE space of the “<div> container” and in this order: padding: top right bottom left;

To control SPECIFIC widget height, look at the CSS class for that widget in “Page Source”. In your case would be <div class=”widget_pages pages”>. There are 2 classes for this widget (and other Pages Widgets, if you use many Pages Widgets in different places of the Sidebars): (1) a common group class “widget_pages” for ALL the Pages Widgets on the sidebars and (2) a UNIQUE class “pages” just for this Pages Widget. So, to style ONLY this Pages Widget Title and its Content Box, the CSS would be:

For Pages Widget Title:

.pages .Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

For Pages Widget Content Box (below its Title):

.pages .Rsidebar {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

The CSS to style for ALL Pages Widgets that you will use on the sidebars are:

.widget_pages .Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

.widget_pages .Rsidebar {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

*Note: put the CSS code for ALL Pages Widgets BEFORE the unique Pages Widget CSS, so the unique Pages Widget CSS can take effect.

Regards,

~Mint Tree~

P.S. There is really no absolute CSS code to control the “Height” of the sidebar box for say, but you can always use the padding (top, right, bottom and left) to control the padding inside the box and thus increasing or decreasing the size of the widget box.

P.P.S. You can actually add different background color “UNIQUELY” to each individual widget (e.g. add the code “background:black; color:white;” in the {} of the CSS code for the Pages Widget Title OR its Content Box).

*Also, use .Rsidebar-title {margin:10px 0px 10px 0px;} to control the margin/spacing BETWEEN the widget titles.

Mint Tree,

Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for. This should allow me to make the changes I'm seeking. Thank you for such a complete answer--I'll be sure to add it to my notes.

Mint Tree,

I tried to use this CSS code to control all the title boxes in the right side bar but it didn't do anything. That is, I tried changing the pixels but nothing changed on the blog.

.Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

Any suggestions?

Evan

Did you tried changing it to a different/large number (preferrably on a TEST Blog)?

Yes, I tried various larger number settings. This is strange, but the css code (.Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}) has no effect. I don't get understand.

This css code only controls the title box is top most right sidebar title box.

.pages .Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

.widget_pages .Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}

If you go to the front page at http://www.proproductsourcing.com and look at the right sidebar, you will see that the top title box is “thicker” than the others below. I tried both css style codes mentioned above and that was the result.

For some strange reason, the css code —> .Rsidebar-title {padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;}—does nothing. I'll mention again that I did change around the numbers.

Anyway. I appreciate your help. Any idea what's going on and how to correct it?

Thanks,

Evan

Hi Evan, I just tested the code on this blog and it worked, changing the code/number to:

.Rsidebar-title {padding:20px 5px 20px 5px;}

*Note: this is using the Custom CSS.

Anyway, your your case, scroll down to the bottom on “Presentation => Sidebars” and try changing the existing code “padding:3px 5px;” to the above code in the box for 'Right Sidebar Title CSS Style:'

*You can also change the padding for 'Right Sidebar Content CSS Style:'

in "Presentation => Sidebars".
