How to widen the 30-column in the 70-30 layout

[Fleiding]

Beautiful solution.

Hey glennrocksvb thanks for that!

I have a slight issue - I've expanded my wrapper_max_width from the default 1200 to 1800 to fill up more of the screen.
After applying your solution here, the 30 column does expand, but the 70 column actually shrinks in width and there is a gap between them. I guess this is related to the change I made to wrapper_max_width and I tried tweaking your css code to try to fix it but to no avail.

Any clues?
Many thanks

I have to see the page to be able to suggest a solution.

Thanks glennrocksvb, the site at hakafe.net

It's an RTL forum, you can see that the ratio between the large and small column isn't realy 70/30, more like 80/20 . I'd basically like to have the small (in my case left) column take more space.

For RTL, just change margin-right to margin-left.

Another solution is (if you are on self-hosted and not on vBCloud) to change margin-right to margin-{vb:stylevar right}. This is the preferred solution especially if you have multiple languages with LTR and RTL directions. Using stylevar will automatically replace it with left or right depending on the language.

Used your second solution as I am on a self hosted site, works like a charm!

Quick follow up - is there a way to set this differently for each forum or is the setting always global for all pages that use the 70/30 layout?

Yes, when you edit and save the page in Sitebuilder, choose Overwrite Template to No and provide a new template name.

Will this work for the cloud 5.5.5 cloud version?
