End-User Options - vB 4

Okay so some (most - so far) of the vb 4 themes come only with one width i.e 100% which fills up the screen. Like me, many want to match their website and want the width of the main table to be fixed. So how can we adjust the width of the CMS, Blog and Forum all together?

vBulletin 3 had an easy way to do it, under Main CSS of the template. But in vB 4 its a bit different. Follow these steps to adjust the width of your vbulletin.

1. Log into AdminCP
2. Navigate to Styles & Templates > Your style > StyleVars
3. In the search field type in doc_width (under Common).
4. Now set the Units and Size as per your requirement, and Save. (default: auto)

That's it!

Now if at all for some reason your theme is not center aligned after adjusting the width do this:

• Type doc_margin in the search field.
• Set Left & Right to auto

Now you have your CMS, Blog and Forum center aligned to the width of your choice!

If you did this to your forum, please click MARK AS INSTALLED.

Thank you!

Was trying to find that. However it has given another problem.

The text in each thread now aligns left and not 100% width of the text container.

Which style would i edit to get that 100% width in the text box?

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be grand!

Can you post a screenshot?

sure no problem. as you can see, the title isnt subject to the same issue. its like the main body text has been placed in a fixed width or less than 100% table.

so many style vars to search, its driving me nuts!

dont suppose anyone has any kind of cheat sheet with screen shots etc indicating the different style vars locations? i might have to make one

[amjadz4]

Well you can see which style it is by adding this line to your config.php

PHP Code:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true; 


right after the opening <?php line

and then view the source code of that page in your browser. you should see the template tags.
