Resolved Changing Tile Position

I've recently installed mod_tiles for the purpose of creating three main elements on my home page. I really like the module and It's working perfectly for what I need.

Although I wasn't interested in using the sliding feature so I was able to disable the mouseover arrow and modify several things by editing /modules/mod_tiles/tmpl/default.php

In the screen shot I've attached are the entries I need to edit, this would be to control the position of a particular element without affecting others. Modifying this works perfectly in the browser under Inspect Element. Obviously the settings don't get applied to the source file though.

I just need some help identifying what file these are located in, and which directory that file is located?
I've done lots of digging to no prevail. I'm somewhat new to all this so please forgive my ignorance. :S

Fantastic, I was able to add the CSS to that document and achieve the proper positioning :)
Thank you so much for all the help! :)

Hi Hayden,

normally you just place that in your Joomla template css ;)

Best regards,

Yves

I feel dumb for asking, but I'm very new to all of this and I'm only trying to learn.
But where exactly should I place the CSS?

More specifically, since we're using the "ID selector" should I place it under //Generate CSS in the default.php file?

Depending on which template you use, this is handled in the files in:
/modules/mod_tiles/tmpl/

for example on line 96 in default.php you have this:


<div class="aTile_inner" style="<?php echo modTilesHelper::getATileInnerStyle($tile); ?>">


the style is then created by the getAtileInnerStyle function in modTilesHelper

modules/mod_tiles/helper.php line 275.

I don't recommend editing the helper. Instead make the modifications with CSS.

Daniel

I'm looking for the file in which the position settings are located / generated.
Example: "style="width: 16.68%;height: 80px;left: 83.35%;top: 160px;"

So I can edit "width/height/left/top" to control the position of the elements on my page.

Hey Hayden,
You want to find out in which file the width and height are generated or do you want to add some css to change the behavior?

In any case I would use some css to target the element of the list and then use !important to style it as I want.

For example:


#tile_37 {

width: 500px !important;

}



Regards,
Daniel
