blue6995 12-06-2011 05:03 PM

I run 1920 x 1080 however I shrink my browser windows down to 1024 x 768 and swap back and forth when doing styles so this should be pretty close:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/...hmentid=134882

That's on a fresh 4.1.8 default style and as you can see if you have long thread titles or forum descriptions it might run over into other areas... I feel that this can be easily adjusted using CSS and would depend on if your using a Fluid or Fixed width style and if fixed width it would depend on the width... less would mean more adjustments so it's all aesthetically correct and a larger resolution may show no errors as you initially see in the screenshots the author posted.

artscripts 12-06-2011 08:56 PM

I put a hack and nothing happens, what's the problem?

kenp 12-06-2011 09:09 PM

Tagged! I'll install tonight and let you know if I find any bugs.

rellect 12-06-2011 09:36 PM

I released a new version that fix a bug for who choose save css as files.

The problem here is that your categories are not actually categories..
They not "act" like a category, they act like a forum.
tomorrow I will try figure out how to apply my hack in this situation.

The problem here is that your css is stored as files..
I've fixed that, download version 1.2 which I just released.

Even if on fluid - the problem is how it would look to people who use 1024x768, which is about 20% of the internet users.

Well, I can suggest 2 solutions:
identify the user's resolution, if it 1024 then
1. hide the sidebar
or
2. set it back to 1 column

If you would like one of the options,
I'll try add them in the next version

dog199200 12-06-2011 10:42 PM

I'm also having the same issue with everything bleeding over. I think all my widths sets are all fixed not fluid. Though where in the css does this edit exactly? I think i can do some editing on my own to fix it to match my forums needs

FReeSTER 12-06-2011 11:50 PM

this will be great if you can manage which categories you want to show side by side instead of the entire forums. :o

You can also do this, please bear in mind something had to go so it looked halfway decent when using a low resolution so thread/post counts are removed and so are the forum action links i.e. subscribe/rss etc.

Edit template rellect_2_column.css and find:

Code:

.forumbit_post .forumstats li,
.forumbit_post .forumstats_2 li
{
        padding-{vb:stylevar right}: 0 !important;
}

Add this under:

Code:

.forumstats.td, .forumactionlinks.td, span.forumthreadpost {
        display:none !important;
}

.foruminfo.td, .datacontainer {
        width: 60% !important;
}

.forumdescription {
        width: 72% !important;
}

.forumlastpost.td {
        width: 40% !important;
        overflow: hidden !important;
}

.lastposttitle {
        width: 92% !important;
        overflow: hidden !important;
}

It should help clear up the overflow for now until RellecT has time to sort it out himself :cool:.

Hmm try disabling the subforum management mod you have installed perhaps the one by Valter? Refresh and if it now shows correctly you know it's a conflict between the two otherwise it's something else either way you can disable/enable the one you prefer until a solution is found.

The hack should work in fluid width and in fixed width.
please send me a url of your forum and I'll check what the problem to fix it.

anyway, the css template is: "rellect_2_column.css"

Not bad solution for who can't wait for an update,

I'll try find a solution for this and I let you know.

Exactly. We should have option to chose categories, entire forum would be too much.
Waiting patiently for update on earlier versions of 4.1.x.

dog199200 12-07-2011 12:24 PM

<a href="http://www.forum.divineshadowsonline.com/" target="_blank">http://www.forum.divineshadowsonline.com/</a>

That's my forum url. It isn't so bad offline but when logged in is when it over flow. If the cell for the on/off icons was shrunk, and set a fixed for the content, and stat cells.

Edit: I also agree that choosing certain boards is a good idea.

I like the idea, but it a little complicated..
First I will release a version for 4.1.X in a few days.. then I'll start work on this feature.

As I see you have fixed width.. there is no enough space to contain the all information (last post, stats).
You can shrunk the status icon if you like.. go to stylevars and find: forumicon_size
or you can manually delete the last post or the stats.

In the next version I will add more options to deal with situations like this.

Your forums are sub-forums from some reason..
Which it weired because sub-forums to category should be just forums.
I'm not sure what you should do to change that..

tarzan22 12-08-2011 08:43 AM

Fixed, but as I can avoid the blanks?

it looks ok if you can set it out without the blank spaces..
but on most existing forums thats not going to be possible..

try change the order of the categories so categories that have the same number of forums will be side by side..
I have no other suggest for now ..
