vb.org Archive - Prevent Oversized Images Breaking Message Tables & Sigs 2.1

Description: Using the CSS "overflow" attribute you can prevent large images from breaking your message column. This helps extremely for the people who use fixed widths. Images that display larger than the message column width will show a horizontal bar.

But it has already been done: Yes, but the other (non) CSS methods affect the overall performance of the forum. The CSS method previously provided required editing a .php file. Plus, in Internet Explorer both the horizontal and vertical scrollbar displayed. This method eliminates the vertical scrollbar. The modification only requires editing the postbit and/or postbit_legacy template and Main CSS.

What else to expect: The horizontal scrollbar will affect the entire post of the oversized image. That's the nature of the modification. No biggie.

Targeted Layout Type: Fixed width layout

Browsers tested: Internet Explorer and Firefox

Compatible vB versions: 3.5.3, 3.5.4, 3.5.5 and 3.6+

Finally, let's edit!
(Or you can download the .txt file for the installation instructions)

1. Back up your templates!

2. In your postbit or postbit_legacy template find this or something similar to:

Code:

  <!-- message -->

  <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>

  <!-- / message -->

Replace it with:

Code:

  <!-- message -->

  <div id="post_message_$post[postid]" class="hidemsg">$post[message]</div>

  <!-- / message -->

3. Click "Save".

4. In Main CSS go to the bottom at Additional CSS Definitions and add code bit:

Code:

.hidemsg  {

  width:700px;

  padding-bottom:20px;

  overflow:auto;

  overflow-x:auto;

  overflow-y:hidden;

  }

5. Change the width "700px" to whatever you want. All other settings keep.

6. Click "Save".

=====================

Optional Modifications (Below)!!!:

*The 3 (A, B & C) optional modifications below follow the same steps as above with the exception of #2, #4 and #5.

A) For Signatures (Hide Oversized Images width & height):

2. In your postbit or postbit_legacy template find this or something similar to:

Code:

  <!-- sig -->

   <div>

    __________________<br />

    $post[signature]

   </div>

  <!-- / sig -->

Replace it with:

Code:

  <!-- sig -->

   <div class="hidesig">

    __________________<br />

    $post[signature]

   </div>

  <!-- / sig -->

4. In Main CSS go to the bottom at Additional CSS Definitions and add code bit:

Code:

.hidesig  {

  width:700px;

  height:400px;

  overflow:hidden;

  }

5. Change the width "700px" and height "400px" to whatever you want. Signatures (text or image) that exceed either width or height limit will be cut off. This code does not affect the message Table. Keep the remaining codes the same.

*If the center tag doesn't work in the signature after implementing the code above see this post for the solution.

---------------------------------

B) For vBAdvanced Newsbits:

2. In your vBadvanced CMPS Templates --> adv_portal_newsbits template find this or something similar to:

Code:

$news[message]

  <!-- message -->

                <div class="hideadvnews">

  $news[message]

                </div>

  <!-- / message -->

4. In Main CSS go to the bottom at Additional CSS Definitions and add code bit:

Code:

.hideadvnews {

  width:700px;

  padding-bottom:20px;

  overflow:auto;

  overflow-x:auto;

  overflow-y:hidden;

  }

5. Change the width "700px" to whatever you want. All other settings keep.

---------------------------------

C) For vBAdvanced Newsbits (Signature):

2. In your vBadvanced CMPS Templates --> adv_portal_newsbits template find this or something similar to:

Code:

  <if condition="$show['signature']">

  <div>__________________<br />

  $news[signature]</div>

  </if>

Replace it with:

Code:

  <if condition="$show['signature']">

  <div class="hideadvsig">__________________<br />

  $news[signature]</div>

  </if>

4. In Main CSS go to the bottom at Additional CSS Definitions and add code bit:

Code:

.hideadvsig  {

  width:700px;

  height:400px;

  overflow:hidden;

  }

5. Change the width "700px" and height "400px" to whatever you want. Signatures (text or image) that exceed either width or height limit will be cut off. This code does not affect the vBadvanced message Table. Keep the remaining codes the same.

*If the center tag doesn't work in the signature after implementing the code above see this post for the solution.
