i got this answer in the swedish part of this forum.

Set right_column to: display: none; and then make the center wider.

i have just to find the solution :

open footer.tpl and delete:

<!-- Right -->

               {$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

after for change the width of the center column, open global.css and change the width like you want:

#center_column {
   width: 556px;
   margin-left:10px;
}

i hope it's help you

ps: sorry for my english..^^

Hi,

Deletion of the Right block from footer.tpl is not a recommended solution.

You can navigate to .. Backoffice -> Modules -> Positions

Say, you don't want the Right block.. then..

Do the following...

1. Take a note of all the modules in the Right Column Block from Module Positions page(which I mentioned above)
2. Delete all the Modules from the Right Column Block by clicking the x button from Modules Positions page
3. Now navigate to Backoffice -> Modules -> Positions -> Transplant a Module
4. From the modules you have written down from step 1, you can choose those from the drop downs from step 3 and hook them to the Left Column Block or where ever you might want to, except the right column block, since the whole point is avoiding that block.
5. Change the widths accordingly in the global.css file here...

#center_column, #right_column {
   float:left;
}
#left_column {
   clear:left;
   width:190px;
   padding-right: 15px;
   float:right;
}
#center_column {
   width: 748px;
   margin: 0 0 30px 0;
}
#right_column {
   width: 0px;
   /*padding-left: 15px;*/
}

As you can see I have made the right column of width:0px; and commented the padding-left.
Alternatively, you can comment the whole #right_column, without running into any issues.

And yeah, you have successfully avoided changing anything in the template files.

Cheers..
