Take a look at http://www.talklosangeles.com and http://www.writersbeat.com they are both nested within the body (the outside is a gradient or a different color)

I've been doing the same thing with http://www.indigosociety.com but the damn thing won't go inside the body, once I created a color for the page it took up the entire damn thing. And if I put a padding 20px or margin20px it messes up everything and creates scrolling horizontally.

Any help?

Anyone?

not really sure what you are looking for here......I looked at all of the url's you posted and i just can't seem to understand for sure what putting the page in the body means......sorry for my misunderstanding.

Are you wanting to ad a border around your page? if so, try this:

go to: Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates (in the menu)
and in the header do this:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- border -->

<table border="2" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#7B9AC6">

<tr>

    <td>



<!-- logo -->

<a name="top"></a>

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<tr>

    <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

    <td align="$stylevar[right]">

        &nbsp;

    </td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- /logo -->



<!-- content table -->

$spacer_open



$_phpinclude_output

, Then go to your footer and do this

PHP Code:


			
<br />

<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>

<br />



$spacer_close

<!-- /content area table -->



<form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get">

    

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" class="page" align="center">

<tr>

    <if condition="$show['quickchooser']">

        <td class="tfoot">

            <select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">

                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">

                    $quickchooserbits

                </optgroup>

            </select>

        </td>

    </if>

    <if condition="$show['languagechooser']">

        <td class="tfoot">

            <select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">

                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_language_chooser]">

                    $languagechooserbits

                </optgroup>

            </select>

        </td>

    </if>

    <td class="tfoot" align="$stylevar[right]" width="100%">

        <div class="smallfont">

            <strong>

                <if condition="$show['contactus']"><a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a> -</if>

                <if condition="$vboptions[privacyurl]"><a href="$vboptions[privacyurl]">$vbphrase[privacy_statement]</a> -</if>

                <a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>

That's completely different from my templates. Wouldn't that mess everything up?

And yes I want a border around the page. Just like http://www.talklosangeles.com http://www.writersbeat.com and the default vb skin. Hmm

hotwheels · #5 09-30-2006, 07:24 AM

my post didn't come out right

hold on a minute
This will probably be easier to do if you go here..... http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ht=side+border

WritersBeat · #6 10-01-2006, 05:28 AM

Alright I did it so that it has the affect I want, except I want the footer to be in that box to. hmm

hotwheels · #7 10-01-2006, 03:16 PM
