Reducing or limiting the height of a module?

Hi, I'd like to remove the logo+user3 modules, or perhaps just reduce the height.

I'm now using a vertical menu that goes into the left module, but there's now a big horizontal space between the top bar and the content.

Also, I set the global vertical cell padding to 0, but there's still quite a big space between the top of a module and the first line of text. How do I reduce this space?

Finally, how do I set the maximum height of a module (even if there is more text than can fit in the module)? Either the text can be truncated, or perhaps a scroll bar can appear...

I looked in template_css.php (as suggested in another forum posting), but the blankie template files are a bit different from the other templates.

Layout is defined here:

$layoutdesign = $this->params->get("layoutdesign", "+row_style1+top1=7=0,top2=3=0,top3=2=0&+top_menu+logo=2=0,user3=10=0&+row_style2+advert1=7=0,advert2=5=0&+row_style2+left=2=0,joom_content=5=0,right=5=0&+hot_map+user1=12=0&+row_style2+bottom1=4=0,bottom2=4=0,bottom3=4=0&+row_style3+copyright=6=0,bottom12=6=0");

this would be second grid row of your template containing logo position:

+top_menu+logo=2=0,user3=10=0

to remove logo position change it to this:

+top_menu+user3=12=0

then user3 will occupy 12/12 of template width.

Hi - I'm afraid you didn't understand my question.

I don't want ANYTHING to be in that space where the logo+user3 is. The whole page should move vertically UP to fill the gap.

Also, I'd like to LIMIT the height of a module. How do I do that?

Many thanks,

My website is www.liveworkretirethailand.com . I managed to remove the logo+user row, but I can't remember how I did it.

I think I just made the height 0 and removed any content. Or maybe I unpublished anything that was in the logo or user3 modules.

I still want to know how to set the height for a module. I'd like to fix the height (e.g. 500 pixels) and not allow it to get any bigger than this. If there is more content than will fit in 500 pixels then I'd like to truncate the text, or display a scroll bar. I think there is an HTML/CSS option to do this.

I don't get which module , but :

.<module postion name>{
height:XXXpx!important;
}

will work, just use right position name. Put that at bottom of template_css.css
