vb.org width option

[Trevor Matthews]

Hi all

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes.

I just noticed today that at the bottom of all vbulletin.org pages there is a Layout option. With width and colour options.

Can anyone tell me how the width mod is done, is that an add-on or plug-in?

Many thanks.

Pretty sure it's just a javascript plugin that controls both functions

Thanks, so that means it should be a plugin that I can download from here somewhere?

Possibly. Not all modifications made to vBulletin.org are released, but I believe someone made a similar modification to do this.

Ah, here it is. But I don't think it includes the width option...

Thanks for taking the time to find that, just my luck, it doesn't do the width where my problem lies.

I am trying to correct the forum logo that is not wide enough on widescreen monitors but is perfect on 4:3 monitors.

Have a look at www.television-magazine-forum.co.uk it is the top forum image that is the issue. I wondered if there is a way to restrict the page width on widescreen monitors so there are big borders left and right.

Thanks again.

I resolved the issue by slightly resizing my forum image and then tweaked the following files.

doc_margin

doc_maxWidth

doc_minWidth

Job done.

The real solution was to make the image the correct size, in my case 1300px wide and 90px high.

I uploaded it and then found the vbulletin-chrome.css template

I added the following to the code overflow: hidden;

As shown below.

.doc_header {
_background-image:none;
border:{vb:stylevar header_border};
color:{vb:stylevar header_color};
font:{vb:stylevar header_font};
position:relative;
min-height:35px;
overflow: hidden;

doc_width was then set to 1300px
doc_margin was set to left and right auto
doc_minwidth was set to 1000px
doc_width was set to 90%

My logo image is now correctly aligned on all screen types and sizes.
