Move Quote of the Day

Can anyone tell me how to move the quote of the day over a few pixels?  I have the Corner peel mod installed, and it covers part of the quote... LOVE the corner peel mod, just need to move the quote over a little.

Well, tried to figure it out... got it to move up and couldn't get it back down.  had to reload "unit.css" in the quotes mod to make it right... part of it is still covered up by the corner peel mod.... need some help please......I am afraid to go into index.php or any other file, yet until I learn more about this code.

You can try this, open file modules/boonex/quotes/templates/base/css/unit.css

look after this code:

.quote_div {
    width: 305px;
    color:#666;
    font-size:12px;
    bottom:12px;
    position:absolute;
    right:0px;
}

change this line: right:0px;

to right:150px;

and remember to clean css cache.(the best is to switch it off when you edit files)

That should have worked. I tested it and verified it works.

Do you have a custom template? If so, the css file you need to edit may be in that templates folder and not in base.

Best thing to do is turn off CSS caching then post your sites URL here. We can than look at the site using firefoxes firebug plugin which will allow us to determine exactly what needs to be edited to do what you need done.

Do I have to be running firefox?  I use chrome most of the time.  And yes I do have a custom template.

No, you don't.

I was referring to us looking at the site. firebug is a plugin for firefox for developers. It helps locate where css is located and aids in making changes.

So i was suggesting you turn off css caching and provide URL so some developers can look at it and tell you want to edit.

Due to the custom template, any suggestions we offer may not be valid as those suggestions are based on the default UNI template. Looking at it with firebug will allow us to be far more accurate in our suggestions.

I verified okwebs suggestion.

I will repost it with a clarification.

You can try this, open file modules/boonex/quotes/templates/base/css/unit.css

look for this code:

.quote_div {
    width: 305px;
    color:#666;
    font-size:12px;
    bottom:12px;
    position:absolute;
    right:0px;  Change this from 0 to 150px;
}

change this line: right:0px;

to right:150px;

and remember to clean css cache.(the best is to switch it off when you edit files)

I have verfied it works. So if it does not then either the edit was not done correctly or not saved.

I am guessing you did not save it because firebug still shows that value as 0.

I had to get the file from my demo site and move it over to code3 because i must have messed something else up on it.  thanks Deano and okweb.  Should be some instructions in the corner peel mod install doc to move it over... lol

I did not see a problem with the corner peel being in the way. But i have a high res wide screen flat panal monitor. The corner peel does not get in the way until the width gets down to 1024px and smaller screen resolutions which nowadays is not very common with wide screen monitors becoming the standard.
