Customization Help - Gantry

    • Hi,

      I need some help with some customization on Gantry. I am attaching what I am trying to accomplish but basically I would like the container to go above the menu like the image attached so that there is a white margin all the way around the content. I can't seem to figure how to do this.

      Also if anyone has any suggestions on adding the drop shadow down the sides that would be appreciated as well.

      Here is what I currently have: 174.120.61.9/~overhead/

      Thanks so much!

    • add

      div#rt-menu {width: 960px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;background-color: white;padding-top: 15px;}
      div#rt-menu .rt-container{width: 930px;}

      to your custom css file and clear your cache

    • sorry perhaps this is better:

      #rt-menu {width: 960px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;background-color: white;padding-top: 30px;}
      div#rt-menu .rt-container{width: 910px;}

    • So is the white body the .rt-container?
      So something like right?

      div#.rt-container {
      box-shadow:10px 10px 20px #000;
      -webkit-box-shadow:10px 10px 20px #000;
      -moz-box-shadow: 10px 10px 20px #000;
      }

    • I would not do that way ...
      I would add something to the index.php (just rough)

      <div id="shadowwrapper"><!-- start wrapper -->
      "all the stuff that must wrapped"
      </div> <!-- end wrapper -->

      and add something like this to the css

      #shadowwrapper {
      width: 960px;
      margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;
      box-shadow:10px 10px 20px #000;
      -webkit-box-shadow:10px 10px 20px #000;
      -moz-box-shadow: 10px 10px 20px #000;}

    • Sorry I'm a little slow on code here. Something like this in index.php file?
      <div id="shadowwrapper"><!-- start wrapper -->
      #rt-menu;#rt-showcase;
      </div> <!-- end wrapper -->

    • open index.php:

      right before <?php /** Begin Menu **/ if ($gantry->countModules('navigation')) : ?>

      add

      <div id="shadowwrapper"><!-- start wrapper -->

      right after <?php /** End Bottom **/ endif; ?>

      add

      </div><!-- endwrapper -->
