URL to your eFiction: http://www.fortunasgarden.com
Version of eFiction: 3.1.1
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: Nope
Version of PHP: 5
Version of MySQL: 5
Have you searched for your problem: Yes
If so, what terms did you try: Safari center, "center field" safari, center field safari
State the nature of your problem: The content (center) portion of safari is too narrow. I have tried to go through the style sheet to find the problem, however, I am a total noob with php and css (I basically understand the stuff that crosses over with html, and that's it.) The reason why I want to change the width of the center portion is because my members are allowed to upload story banners at 700 px wide, and it works fine in every other skin. It is really a vanity thing, because I am int he middle of making a really cool banner for the Safari skin, and I want to show it off. If anyone can help us out, it would be great!
Do you have a test account for us? yes, user is test, pass is test3

Well, having been a css style sheet noob myself, I can give you a couple of hints.

First, look at the header and index.tpl pages for the skin. Look to see what div is created before all the center blocks are added. Sometimes it's something as simple as <div id="middlecontainer">. If that's the case, then you go to the css style sheet and look for middlecontainer, and see if a width is mentioned in its style space between the { }.

If it isn't, sometimes widths are created with the outside rows, like the left and right ones. When that happens, the middle is left to use whatever space is left. So you would be looking for the name of a side column, and then look if that one's width is mentioned. If it is, then you can try changing that one to be less wide, and sometimes that will make the center wider.


Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

I'd like to help, but I don't understand what you're asking.
There are only two columns on Safari, so I don't know what you mean by "center field"

If you mean the actual width of the main content box, you're going to have to start with #background and #container.


Skins made by Kali are no longer supported!
