Matching Themes

[arshem]

Hi everyone, i'm needing to implement my design from my regular site and match it with vbulletin's skin.

heres my site: http://www.indianaparents.net/?theme=something


here's my forum: http://www.indianaparents.net/forums/


Any ideas?

notice how the menus on the side are messed up? I'm trying to figure out how to make the MAIN forums area match the width of the header and make the side menus stick to the side of the main forums.

Seems like you haven't closed a table.

In your Fourmhome template find:

<!-- / icons and login code -->

Add above:

</table>

That fixed the forum home

I tried that and it made everything itty bitty

Hmm it worked when I tried it. Just make sure you have a container for your content below your nav bar.

If in doubt make the table setup again and rework your style.

okay its finally getting there, but i can't figure out how to make the background to match AND to have the forum's background(the actual forum's background). Do i need to change up ALL templates or is there one that will work?

In your spaceropen template you have somthing like this:

<div align="center">
 <div class="page" style="width:95%; text-align:left">
  <div style="padding:0px 25px 0px 25px">

Change it to this:

<div align="center" class="page">
 <div class="page" style="width:95%; text-align:left">
  <div style="padding:0px 25px 0px 25px">

That should do it

Very cool, thanks mate i really appreciate it. That fixed the issue!

okay one more thing!
how do i change the WYSIWYG width?

[MaestroX]

By default its quite difficult to chang the width of the WYSIWYG editor as its hard coded. But with some work you can edit it. Look for this line in your templates:

<div align="left" style="max-width: 640px; width: auto ! important;">

Hope this helps
