Size problem of sidebar on static pages ?

[spyboar]

Hello

There is following problem:
We need to make our own style of the Home page.
When we are on the shop page the size of slide bar is correct.
When we work on home page and want to use the same slidebar, the size is bigger.

How to fix that.

Here is the screen shots

Hi, so which page would you like to have which sized sidebar?
Can you maybe show me a link to those two pages?

[spyboar]

http://spyboar.com/new1/ and
http://spyboar.com/new1/product-category/ловни-камери/

What I need is the length of slidebar equal to all pages.

Now on the home page the length is longer

Hi, the problem is that we are using a grid system with 3 columns for the sidebar and 9 for the content on these pages. So if you would like to change that you would need to modify the php files of the theme to change the distribution of the 12 columns to e.g. 4 and 8 instead of 3 and 9.

If you are unsure how to do this please hire a developer of your trust to safely modify the files for you.

Cheers

This is the baddest support ever! – I have asked for help like this before, with the same answer from Melanie “Hire a developer” – You should be fired! It makes no sense, that you won’t help with something like this – the sidebar is bigger that the shop pages, how is that not a mistake? I have seen in the other theme forums, that the support have helped with this problem. Is there somewhere I can file a complain against you?

Hi @olesenreck

What Melanie is trying to say is, pages have a span4 span8 distribution because the page builder content is built primarily for use in 1/4 1/2 1/1 columns, which works perfectly for an 8 column content area. If we were to make this 9 columns, it would not divide up equally, which would require a vast amount of extra css to make it work.

The shop page has a span3 span9 distribution because the page shows 3 products per row, and span9 can be divided into 3 span3’s, whereas if it was span8, it could not be equally divided into 3 columns.

If you want to change the widths, then open up archive-product.php and change all of the span9’s to span8 and all of the span3 to span4.

However please bare in mind that your shop page may suffer some layout issues.
