Here goes

I finally got around to installing Concrete on my server today - the process went smoothly. I don't host with 1&1 but I found the instructions here -http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/hosts/1and1_com... - useful.

I have a few questions which I hope will be answered by someone on this forum

a. I found a free theme on the marketplace which comes close to what I need. The only thing is that the page width it uses is too small. How can I make it wider?
b. Is there a tabsheet or accordion plugin for Concrete?
c. Is there a syntax highlighter plugin for Concrete?
d. Finally, would it be possible to use mooTools or jQuery (preferably mooTools) in Concrete?

There appear to be some promising modules out in the "marketplace". What I find worrying is that there appear to be no reviews, ratings or user stats - sounds like you are expected to trust and shell out for the privilege of even just finding out if the stuff is any good. Or am I wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

a. Its just a CSS work. For instance to increase the width in default theme (Plain Yogurt), you need to increase the width of #page (id=page) in main.css line

b and c. I am not sure about the plugin
d. To know about concrete5 and jquery, visit the below given link -http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/javascript-jquery-an...

Hope it helps

Thanks
Vijay

Thanks! I had figured out that I would need to edit some CSS. However, I am not sure I understand just where the theme PHP/CSS files are stored. I looked under Themes but did not find anything useful.

Are there any detailed guidelines on developing themes?
