Page template

Hello,

I am using latest concrete5 software and the address is:http://www.industrialdynamics.com.au/...

I am currently using default theme by concrete5, Elemental and nearly all my pages are based on left sidebar.

So, can you help me to move body content closer to left sidebar where navigation is?

Because there's big gap/white space between left sidebar and body content and I want to remove that.

Hope you can help me....

Cheers
V

Hello,

C5 elemental use boostrap grid (you find endless examples and docs in google).
Example:https://getbootstrap.com/examples/grid/...

Elemental left sidebar template = left_sidebar.php (in your root theme folder)

The main content layout:
//left_sidebar.php
<div class="col-md-8 col-sm-offset-1 col-content">//Change this line to remove 1col offset 
                <?php
                $a = new Area('Main');
                $a->setAreaGridMaximumColumns(12);
                $a->display($c);
                ?>
            </div>

"col-sm-offset-1" = "Move column 1col right" = "space between left sidebar and body content"
**sm = Small devices Tablets (≥768px)
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-offsetting...

Change this to:
<div class="col-md-9 col-content">//Remove offset - now the col-md is 9/12
                <?php
                $a = new Area('Main');
                $a->setAreaGridMaximumColumns(12);
                $a->display($c);
                ?>
            </div

Now you change the layout from:
Original: [left 3][main 1offset+8]=12cols
To: [left 3][main 9cols] = 12cols
