Solve biggest problem with frameworks #39

Open findborg opened 5 years ago

findborg commented 5 years ago

The biggest problem with frameworks and the reason that I have quit using most of them is because none offer fixed sizing for the main content layout. For example x=maincontent s1=sidebar1 s2=sidebar2 Layouts

s1, x ,s2(300px) s1(160px), x or simply x, s2(300px)

Hello,

It's possible to do a 3 column layout and have fixed width as well. By default (since it's based on bootstrap) and is responsive, width for every column is in %. You can however give custom classes, ID's on section/column level and specify the width in the custom css/scss files.

Thanks, Chetan

Actually, after doing a little research. I think that you should change the custom setting in edit grid to all .col classes with the option of how many col to add. Then width could be controlled using nothing but css. Which is a little easier than any work rounds.

I see it, part of the pending update in Astroid we have upcoming is be able to edit the boostrap default settings (colors, grids, breakpoints and other stuff), from the Joomla backend itself. I'll speak to the dev team and see if we can include that too.

I appreciate you doing further research into this. Chetan

I have confirmed that this should be released as part of the update in the next major version.
