What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: Removing white horizontal block at bottom of page
Write your message below:
Can you please tell me how to remove the 1 inch (in height) white horizontal block that stretches the length of the bottom of the page? This is only visible on the 'sign guestbook' page after inserting our own BG image and color schemes.
Thank you

This is a reply to all the posts you posted: all the HTML, CSS code and images are located in the "templates" > "default" folder.
Making all these modifications requires some basic HTML knowledge, you can learn HTML (and CSS) here:

Klemen is right. But i replied anyway
For this question.
You probably need to change overall_header.php or style.css
Can be found here: templates\default\overall_header.php
and here: templates\default\style.css
If you don't get it done, please post a link to your guestbook which shows the problem.
Greetings,
Henrie

Well thank you but obviously I dont need to learn HTML or I wouldnt even know how to ask these questions right? I simply need to know how you have it setup, and because there are no answers to my exact questions, I thought I would post them each in individual topics as to help the forum.
Thank you Henrie for answering the questions. I will begin following your directions now. You have a PM -

Neither affects the outcome, atleast not that I can see.
UPDATE:
Find this code in style.css:
Code: Select all
span.gbook_entries{font-family:Tahoma; color:#ffffff; font-size:12px; line-height:16px; }
Decrease the 'line-height:'

Hello Newguy
Because of so many questions, you had fooled me too about your html knowledge. So a good reminder to not just judge a book by it's cover.
In style.css file change the following style.
Code: Select all
body{margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/bg.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#003399;}
Change
background-repeat:repeat-x; to
background-repeat:repeat;
(Not tested, like all the other code i tried to help you with). But i see that giving you the right direction was enough and you could figure out the rest yourself.
Greetings,
Henrie

You missed the point - you should learn HTML for this exact purpose: so you don't have to ask how to make all these little changes here. Luckily Henrie is a nice guy and answered your questions (you might want to buy him a drink

), but you can't rely on him (or anyone else) to do so for each and every change you need. It's just not the purpose of this forum. You posted 9 questions in a single day asking for things you could do easily if you showed some effort and tried to learn HTML. If everyone did that this forum would have been flooded with unanswered topics (me, Henrie and others help in our spare time and don't get paid for it).
Don't get me wrong - we are here to help, but mostly with troubleshooting and not with customizing every little detail.

I partly agree with Klemen.
I think that most of it was a question what files should be edited and where to find those files.
But someone who has a little more knowledge about html (and also knows that php can include files) should - after reading the readme.html file - have been able to find the template folder and find the correct files.
But, to take as example this question, with me pointing to the style.css file. Newguy should have been able to find the solution himself if he has more than the most basic html and css knowledge. So i think there is still room to improve his knowledge.
I also understand that for most people who use this guestbook it is something new and they will not immediately understand what files to change or how to change them.
And untill there is a wysiwyg editor for changing the layout, sometimes answers will have to be answered about how to modify the guestbook.
Especially now that there is version 1.7 which introduces the template and for which there are no postings yet on how to modify certain parts.
Regards,
Henrie
