Layout query

Post by G4MHJ » Thu Aug 02, 2018 6:12 pm

I am still at the stage of seeing what is available in terms of layout. I have been looking at other peoples pages just to get ideas.

One such page http://weather.curtisfamily.org.uk/indexDesktop.php shows what I assume is the ssGauges in a header and then in the next section are three separate blocks. I have tried to copy this idea which I assume is using multiblocks but to no avail. Each block seems to be separated in a window with rounded corners.

On my own site http://www.bobhewitt.co.uk/pictures/Wea ... esktop.php
I have just two blocks loaded ssGauges as a header and a Summary. This is from yr.no (Town Erith, Kent, UK). I gives data except for "Forecast" and there is a message error underneath which I am not understanding.

Any help would be appreciated just to get me started.

Hi,
you can use the "header block" feature, which shows one block spanning the entire page width regardless of the columns below

Thanks for the reply

I understand the Header idea - most useful.

It's the main area that I am querying in that you are able to add - say three blocks in a single column using multi blocks. In the example it shows three in a column that appear to be in windows that have rounded corners. How is this achieved ?

G4MHJ de VK2BZB,

Good Sir,

If it is just the rounded corners you are seeking, then look in your Main Setup and go almost to the end of the rather long page to find the section as indicated in the image below. You can then play with that to suit yourself. These are my own site's settings of which you can see the result by clicking on my signature banner.

Regards,
John
