Hi,

We used nop-electronics theme (2.50 version) for our website. We replaced the images to suit our needs.

We have couple of issues in customizing the design. When we replace the Menu strip with our image it fit in to 1000px but we needed it 100%.

What we need:

We want the Menu (Categories Header Menu) strip and Footer to be 100%. We tried several ways but we could not get it done. Please help us in this regard.

Hi,

I see what you mean. It will be a little tricky to implement as the main content in nopCommerce has a fixed width.

Except changes in css there is a little html reorganization that needs to be done in order to pull the header out of the main content so that it can have width 100%.

So the idea is to pull out the elements that you want to have width 100% out of the
<div class="master-wrapper-page">
        <div class="master-wrapper-content">
        </div>
</div>

elements and set the necessary styles.

We will give you the example for the header menu:

1. Open the ~\Themes\Electronics\Views\Shared\_Root.cshtml view and edit it in the following way:

<body>
    @Html.Action("WidgetsByZone", "Widget", new { widgetZone = Nop.Core.Domain.Cms.WidgetZone.AfterBodyStartHtmlTag })
            <div class="header">
                <div class="header-logo">
                    <a href="@storeLocation" class="logo">  </a>
                </div>
                <div class="header-links-wrapper">
                   @Html.Action("HeaderLinks", "Common")
                </div>
                <div class="header-shopping-bag">
                    @Html.Action("ShoppingCartBox", "Common")
                </div>
            </div>
            @if (categoriesHeaderMenuIntegrated)
            {
                @Html.Action("CategoriesHeaderMenu", "CategoriesHeaderMenu")
            }
    <div class="master-wrapper-page">
        <div class="master-wrapper-content">

the text in bold is the text that had been pulled out of the master-wrapper-page.

2. Add the following css:
.header
{
    padding: 0px 6px 5px 5px;
    height: 60px;
    width: 980px;
    margin:10px auto;
}

.categoriesHeaderMenu
{
    width: 100%;
    margin-top: 40px;
}

.master-wrapper-page
{
    width: 980px;
    margin: 0 auto 0;
    text-align: left;
}

.master-wrapper-content
{
    float: left;
    width: 980px;
    margin: 0 0 0;
    text-align: left;
    background: #FFF;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
}

p.s. the elements in bold are the new one that should be added or edited.

Now you will be able to change the menu strip with a image that is 100%.

The same idea should be applied when making the footer. Pull it out the

<div class="master-wrapper-page">
        <div class="master-wrapper-content">
        </div>
</div>

elements so that it has no fixed width.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

You need to set the background image to the div and to remove it from the ul element. You need to set margin auto for the left and right margin and to specify a width of 960px for the ul. Here is how it should look like after the changes:

.categoriesHeaderMenu {
width: 100%;
margin-top: 40px;
background-image: url('http://ec2-46-137-198-91.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com/Plugins/SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.CategoriesHeaderMenu/Styles/images/menubg.png');
}

.sf-menu {
font-size: 14px;
height: 35px;
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response.It was very helpful. I was able to set the width to 100%
by the styles that you have suggested me. But I have a small problem. To the left side of the page there is a small gap maybe a 10px width gap. I could not find any left padding or left margin which is causing this. Can you please suggest me what can be done to remove the the small gap at the left of the page.
For your reference following is the url:

Hi,

There is a margin: 8px set for the body, so you can set edit the css in the following way:

body
{
    background: white;
    font: 11px/1.55 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0;
}

add the margin:0; to the class above.

and you may also would like to remove the margin-left from the header links for consistency. You can do this by changing the following:

.header-links-wrapper {
  color: white;
  margin-left: 10px;
  position: absolute;
  text-align: right;
  top: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 20px;
  background-color: #61625F;
  left: 0px;
}

remove the margin-left: 10px; from the class above.

Hope that helps!

I changed the master wrapper page padding

it somehow looks bad on some screens, like older devices.
they can't see a part of the page.
is there any way I can make it responsive for all devices.
Or at least can I change it back. I can't seem to find the css line for master wrapper page.
Tnx
