Ok, So I have been all over these forums and google looking for a solution, and while there have been many soltuions that have worked for many none of them worked for me. I have changed the header to match the header of a new site design we are working on, but the header needs to be the width of the browser not a fixed width. Here is the code for my header files.

headinclude (i added a line to the bottom of this to include the style sheet for my header, is that the problem?)

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={vb:stylevar charset}" />
<meta id="e_vb_meta_bburl" name="vb_meta_bburl" content="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}" />

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin {vb:raw vboptions.templateversion}" />

<vb:if condition="$show['threadinfo']">

		<meta name="keywords" content="{vb:raw foruminfo.title_clean}, {vb:raw vboptions.keywords}" />

Help would be appreciated.

Things I have tried.
- Stylevar doc_width right:0 left:0 and .body_wrapper added margin-left: 75% margin-right:75%;

Lynne · #2 04-16-2011, 02:57 AM

Can we get a link to the actual style and an image of what you want it to look like.

netpants · #3 04-16-2011, 03:05 AM

Sure,

The site: removed
- notice the header is the full width of the browser but the body is fixed. This is what I am trying to do in vB as well.

Here is the style sheet for my header.

Code:

 .login a:link { 
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
}

.login a:hover{ 
text-decoration: underline;
color: #9E3C00;
}

.login a:visited{ 
text-decoration: underline;
color: #000000;
}
 
a.news:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CC4700;
}
a.news:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CC4700;
}
a.news:active {
text-decoration: none;
}
a.news:hover {
text-decoration: underline; 
color: red;
}

#headertop {
position: relative;
height: 83px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #242424;
vertical-align:text-bottom;
background-image:url(images/header_top.png);
}

#headerbottom {
position: relative;
height: 42px;
width: 100%;
color: #B03C00;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #121212;
background-image:url(images/header_bottom.png);
}


#jsddm
{	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	}
	
	#jsddm li
	{	float: left;
		list-style: none;
		font: 12px Tahoma, Arial;
		font-weight: bold;
		
		}

	#jsddm li a
	{	display: block;
		
		padding: 10px 12px;
		text-decoration: none;
		
		width: auto;
		color: #000000;
		white-space: nowrap;
		z-index: 1;
		}
		

	#jsddm li a:hover
	{	background: #B03C00;
	z-index: 1;
	}
		
		#jsddm li ul
		{	margin: 0;
			padding: 0;
			position: absolute;
			visibility: hidden;
			
			z-index: 1;
			}
		
		#jsddm li ul li
		{	float: none;
			display: inline;
			z-index: 1;
			}
		
		#jsddm li ul li a
		{	width: auto;
			background: #9F1B1B;
			z-index: 1;
			}
		
		#jsddm li ul li a:hover
		{	background: #7F1616;
		z-index: 1;
		}

And the forum that I am trying to fix is here: removed

Lynne · #4 04-16-2011, 05:08 PM

You need to set the margin for your body to 0:
body {margin: 0;}
(I think that is the stylevar doc_margin)

Then you need to set a margin for .body_wrapper
.body_wrapper {margin: 0 50px;}

Those are the basics and then style as needed.

netpants · #5 04-16-2011, 05:24 PM

I get this when doing that url removed . and modifying the body wrapper just makes the bottom part of the page get wider smaller, etc. I guess is there a way to get the header outside of the body wrapper so its not confined to the width set in the forum.

YankForum · #6 04-16-2011, 06:19 PM

you need to define "above_body" and "body_wrapper" seperately but rite now this doesn't work for you because earlier in your CSS you have defined this :

Code:

body {
margin: 0px 35px 0px 35px;
....
}

remove that and add fixed width to body_wrapper just like:

Code:

.body_wrapper {
width:900px; //or any other value
//and center it
}

and you should be done , but if header is not 100% then edit this above-body and define width:100%

netpants · #7 04-16-2011, 07:18 PM

Ok this is what I did in vbulletin.css, and the changes it made are little to none.

Code:

body {
	width: 100%;
	min-width:{vb:stylevar doc_minWidth};
	max-width:{vb:stylevar doc_maxWidth};
	font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}px;
	color:{vb:stylevar body_color};
	line-height:{vb:stylevar line_height};
}

.body_wrapper {
	padding: {vb:stylevar body_padding};
	background: {vb:stylevar body_background};
	-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
	-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
	border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
        width:960px;
        margin-left: 50%;
        margin-right: 50%;
        
}

Lynne · #8 04-16-2011, 08:07 PM

Regarding body.... you said you wanted this at 100%, so don't give it a min or max width. Set the width to 100%.

Regarding .body_wrapper:

HTML Code:

        margin-left: 50%;
         margin-right: 50%;

What are you hoping to accomplish by making each margin 50% wide? That kinda uses up the whole page. (50% left and 50% right leaves nothing in the middle if added up.) If you have a fixed width, then the left and right margin need to be set to auto, not any number.

netpants · #9 04-16-2011, 08:21 PM

We are getting closer

but now I need to get the body center. removed url

This is my css now.

Code:

body {
	margin: 0;
        width: 100%;
	font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}px;
	color:{vb:stylevar body_color};
	line-height:{vb:stylevar line_height};
}

body a {
	color:{vb:stylevar link_color};
	text-decoration:{vb:stylevar link_textDecoration};
}
body a:hover,
body a:hover .time,
body a:hover .shade,
body a:hover .understate {
	color:{vb:stylevar linkhover_color};
	text-decoration:{vb:stylevar linkhover_textDecoration};
}

body a.understate,
body a .understate {
	color:inherit;
	text-decoration:none;
	*clear:expression(style.color = parentNode.currentStyle.color, style.clear = "none", 0);
}

.body_wrapper {
	padding: {vb:stylevar body_padding};
	background: {vb:stylevar body_background};
	-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
	-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
	border-radius: {vb:stylevar border_radius};
        width:960px;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
}

You never really understand how massive VB is until you start trying to customize things. Geeze.

Lynne · #10 04-16-2011, 08:46 PM

Your other CSS is overriding your custom stuff above. Make this change:

HTML Code:

        margin-left: auto !important;
         margin-right: auto !important;
