- Hi,
  I changed modulus_j16/template-options.xml like that alls.
  Its Ok default layout showing: 4-4-4-4
  changed grid 12 to 16
  cleared cache
  but didn't change page wide 920 to 1200px
  what is problem ?
  My English not very well
  what is mean ?
  "In J!1.6 template values are stored in the database. This means that in J!1.6 changing a "hidden" value won't have an effect in the database."
  should I change any table in database ? which table ?
  " xxx_template_styles " ??
  How to change 920 to 1200 px

- Hi SocialGroup,
  
  This is just to change the number of columns from 12 to 16. It does not change the width of the template.
  
  You can check this post for details on changing width - www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=30...pic&start=45#p698654
  
  Hope this helps

- Hi David,
  I don't see the columns text-field referenced (grid_system, in the image attachment) under styles in Joomla 1.7.
  Where would the equivalent be found in Joomla 1.7?
  Thank you for your time.

- Hi there,
  
  The code will be in the templates/your_rt_template/template-options.xml for Joomla 1.7
  
  This is what you are looking for...
  
  <field name="grid_system" type="hidden" default="12"/>
  Just change the 12 to 16
  
  Hope this helps

- Thanks for your response David. I had already done that, but it still doesn't change in the template manager. The main body positions still remain at a count of 12, not 16.

- Hi there,
  
  Can you PM me with a temporary Super Admin access please and I will take a look to see what the cause may be.

  That one slipped through the net
  
  OK - I found the problem in your conversion. I had to install eXtplorer to access your xml files and all looked ok. But there was something wrong because each time I saved the 16 columns instead of 12 the template timed out. The layout sliders were showing some weird numbers 15311|15311 etc.
  
  You had 2 errors in your changes. On the first change of words you had a comma after the 13 and this is incorrect as the template thinks there is another number in the sequence. In that same area the default was still set to 5|7 which only adds up to 12. I changed it to 8|8.
  
  If you no longer require eXtplorer just uninstall via module manager. Please note I only checked and changed the Master. You still need to do the copy template.
  
  Hope this helps
