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+

Thank yous: CyberAlien (Correction on ID to Class); kennn (PM resize - conditional code below)



Optional Modifications Added (3.14.06)!:
A) Signature (Cuts off oversized signatures in message bits by width & height.)

B) vBadvanced Newsbit (Same like the original, just with vBadvanced.)

C) vBadvanced Newsbit Signatures (Same like the original signature mod, just with vBadvanced.)

D) Private Message conditional posted by kennn (click here to post)

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

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".

7. Click if you use it.

Finished!


*For those of you who use a fluid layout take a look at this post. Thanks 007 for sharing.


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

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]
Replace it with:

Code:
  <!-- 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.

Finished (Once More)!

7. Click if you use it.

Only installed the signature portion because the rest screwed up my showthread.

changed to:

Code:
.hidesig  {
  width:700px;
  height:400px;
  overflow:auto;
  }
and it works great. I like scrollbars.

Am I still allowed to click install?

it did the same thing to mine

stretched it out so far even when I took out the code it was still messed up

I only tested it on default anyway so just reverted it

and is there anyway to have scrolling bars with the hide sig, not sure if it was suppost to be in there already or not

To have scrolling in sigs just replace "hidden" with "auto".

With reference to the stretching I'll need to see a screenshot of the problem and the code bit(s) used. It shouldn't have done that.

Excellent, thanks!

PS: The "fluid" version in post #27 does not work in IE for me, so I kept the original version.

In post #27 it was suggested to use "auto" for width. See if "100%" works instead.
