Although it's already somewhere on these forums I couldn't find an answer to this problem by searching (modifying the width of boxes). So, here is the answer if you want to modify BOX_WIDTH (left and right)

Look in:

/includes/application_top.php around line 79.

Find:

// customization for the design layout
define('BOX_WIDTH', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125)

And modify to suit your needs.

Width of left bar in Firefox is smaller than in IE. What is proper way to get left bar sized correctly so that categories aren't wrapped to second line?

Renders fine in IE.

Can you explain why that happens?

Thanks! So simple, but exactly what I was looking for!

Hello,
Thanks for yout tip on modify the BOX_WIDTH and i have been using this also on the older versions, but i seem to have a problem i have just installed the latest version on this site:

osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a

The problem is when i change the size to 145 instead of 125 and save it... (yes it is 777 permission) nothing happens on the index and when i check the application_top.php again it the same as before 125...

very strange...

Any ideas how to make this work... ?

Thank you..

Thanks for the tip. I just went and reset my width to 140 and it worked fine. I'm using the latest fresh osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a install.

I'm not sure of why it didn't take for the poster above. Did you use the File Manager to access and change it?

Best to All,

If its not saving, them your permission on the server may be at 444. Set it to 644 via the server filemanager. DO NOT make it 777 or you will be asking for trouble.
