Question Problems with Siteground template

Hi all

I'm having a problem with my template from siteground, because it's not displaying the kunena forum with the whole width. It's too short, like if it were columns on the side.

I've already disabled the left and right columns, but it's the same. For what I've read, the problem is my joomla template that only works with two or three columns...

Can anyone help me?

My site is here .

Thanks

Hello Pescador,

please look this wiki doc

How I can get the full width for Kunena Forum in my site?

What rich has written and what's contained in the Wiki article are correct ... to a point. However, in most cases that appear on these forums, the problems occur because of a restriction in the Joomla template. Further, this approach doesn't work if your site uses collapsible forum positions (see How can I have Kunena Forum in Full width ).

The bottom line is that Siteground templates look good but they're a lot more complicated to fix that other templates. Only recently I tried to help a user with a Siteground template-related problem (see Kunena forum width not full ) but he discovered that he could not use the fix for other reasons.

After considering the weight of evidence against Siteground , I am inclined to now think that fixing these problems takes more effort that it's worth and it's probably better to use another Joomla template provider.

joomlabear seem to be the best in my experience easy to use and easy to edit if u wish

I'm using a SiteGround template and really didn't want to change it, as it is a good design for my needs. I've already tweaked it quite a bit, but didn't realize this problem until I installed Kunena on the site today. I figured out a way around it. I created a copy of the template ("Relax1", a 3-column template) and changed the templateDetails.xml file accordingly. Then I changed the template.css file from

to

I installed my new template and assigned it only to the Kunena menu item.

As long as you have nothing published in the Left or Right positions on that page, it seems to work fine.

This may not be the best solution to the problem, but it is working for me, so I thought I would pass it along. Other SiteGround templates might be able to be edited in a similar manner.

Hi

That's my problem too. After a lots of tweaking, I found out that could not have the forum in full width, or else everything would act the same.

I'll try your solution or else I'll have to change the template.

Thanks for the reply!
