Hello All,
I've created a very basic skin for DNN and installed it on my site. When I added an module, the events module, it ran over the page, making me have to scroll to the right to see all of it.
Basically I added it to the sidepane2 pane, right side, and already had the HTML module in the content pane, and a vert menu in the sidepane1. I'm wondeirng does a module or the containers not hold true to the size of the site? Do I need to make some type of manual adjustment to the website, or containers, or what to make sure it fits within the space.
My goal is to allow to simply drop in a module and it stay within the confines of the page, and not have to modify the module to show a smaller view, or less content, of itself. I'm pretty new to all this so I could be just over looking something.
Any thoughts or suggestion would great..
Thanks,
Bob

If you can do html in notepad, you will then understand that some items can cause the page to be wider than other pages. In the case of the Events module, the Events module layout is probably too large to fit on the current page. Try another module on this page, or put the Events module on a page by itself.

Thanks for the reply Barryz, however I perfer to have the events module on that page, in that area. Is there a manual fix that I can apply to make the module only fit within a specific area and not run over? I'm not much of a coder, HTML or otherwise, but I'm willing to learn what I need to in order to get the design I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Bob

Some DNN modules require more horizontal space than other modules. Events module certainly needs more horizontal space than the Text-Html module or the Feedback module.
Note that few modules display properly in 640x480 resolution. Some modules are OK in 800x600 resolution, and _most_ modules are OK in 1024x768 resoluton. Plus there are 1600x1200 (etc) resolutions now too with the wide-screen monitors.
If you are not happy with the resolution, change your monitor settings. If you are not happy with a static 1024x768 page, then set it instead for 100% width or 96% width. The choices are endless... but should be the lowest common denominator of the people who visit your website. That way you see the typical worst-case-scenario.
If a particular module STILL does not fit in your layout, then either change the layout or go into the module, i.e. the Events module, and reduce the width of the columns or eliminate columns.
