Hi gerbenv,

Welcome to the forums.

1) Add to /skins/purple_beauty/style.css:

div.widget_core_coll_page_list ul li a {

border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;

padding: 1.2em;

padding-left: 0.5em;

padding-right: 0.5em;

color: #FFFFFF;

text-decoration: none;

}



div.widget_core_coll_page_list ul li a:hover, div.widget_core_coll_page_list ul li a:active {

	border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;

	padding: 1em;

	padding-left: 0.5em;

	padding-right: 0.5em;

	text-decoration: none;

	color: #FFFFFF;

}

2) Open /skins/purple_beauty/index.main.php and remove lines 206-213:

<?php
			// ------------------------------ DATE SEPARATOR ------------------------------
			$MainList->date_if_changed( array(
					'before'      => '<h2>',
					'after'       => '</h2>',
					'date_format' => '#',
				) );
		?>

and lines 221-264:

			<div class="bSmallHead">
			<?php
				// Permalink:
				$Item->permanent_link( array(
						'text' => '#icon#',
					) );

				$Item->issue_time( array(
						'before'    => ' ',
						'after'     => '',
					));

				$Item->author( array(
						'before'    => ', '.T_('by').' ',
						'after'     => '',
					) );

				$Item->msgform_link();
				echo ', ';

				$Item->wordcount();
				echo ' '.T_('words');
				echo ', ';
				$Item->views();

				$Item->locale_flag( array(
						'before'    => ' &nbsp; ',
						'after'     => '',
					) );
			?>

			<br />

			<?php
				$Item->categories( array(
					'before'          => T_('Categories').': ',
					'after'           => ' ',
					'include_main'    => true,
					'include_other'   => true,
					'include_external'=> true,
					'link_categories' => true,
				) );
			?>
			</div>

Good luck

Hi gerbenv. Welcome to the forums.

The spacing issue is easy. Crack open your skins/purple_beauty/style.css and add the following right before where it says "/* bloglist */":

.widget_core_coll_page_list ul.bloglist li {
padding-right: 10px;
}

You can play with the value of the padding-right to suit your tastes - I just threw that out as a proof of concept.

The other part isn't as easy. Start with this: in the same folder, copy index.main.php as page.main.php then open page.main.php in a file editor and make a change to make sure that is all you need to get a new template for your pages. Something like

... um ... won't that wipe out all the bloggy stuff on all pages and not just on the page-type posts?

Thanks for replying so fast! Didn't expect that.

Solution 1 of EdB works fine!
The first solution of Afwas also does the trick but is adds boxes around the links, that's a nice fancy extra but i like the plain text links better.

The solution to the second question of Afwas also did exactly the trick i was looking for!

Hello.

How to add a "Top Menu" container to fit the "Page Top" design style? :?:

Thanks.

Hello.

Within 'skin_container( NT_('Menu')' or via another procedure for that widget, how to get that Menu link widget to use a 'selected' attribute when that page is selected (similar to Public Blog List and Sorted Public Blog list widgets)? :?:

Thanks.
