A few quickie questions (im hoping)

[adamadamadam]

Hey sorry, I tried my luck @ the vBulletin.com "How Do I..." forum and didn't get a response so I am hoping my luck is a bit better on the .org side of things.

1.) How would I have my forum setup, which is locked @ 1024px in width, so that whenever someone posts an image larger than 1024px that cell which the post is made is breaks from that width, but all other replies are kept @ the locked size of 1024px? I seem to remember seeing that but can't remember how or where it's done.

Here's an example of what I am asking about:
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=110572

The cell with the images has expanded horizontally much larger than the rest of the threads.

2.) How do I remove this column? http://eonix.shackspace.com/remove1.jpg

3.) Where's the padding dimensions for this cell controlled so that I may move it closer to the nav bar? http://eonix.shackspace.com/moveup.jpg

Thank you for your help

I apologize for the bump. These are questions I really need answered and if it were to fall to the 2nd page I doubt they ever would be.

1. There are a couple of image resize modifications here that will automatically resize any images over a certain size.

2. I don't know the templates offhand to remove those columns, but you can find them by turning on: vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. Then edit those templates to remove that column.

3. Again, check in the source code with the template names (as outlined in 2 above) and I think you will find something about a spacer? I couldn't tell you for sure without seeing the source code.

Hey sorry - I'm not looking to resize images, but rather break a cell width much like the example does that I provided. I'll try your suggestions for 2 and 3. Thanks for the help!

I don't see anything special about that page you linked to. If I have my browser window small, only the first post is stretched. If I stretch my browser window, then all the post stretch with it. Perhaps an image of what the problem is and then an image with the problem fixed would explain better.

[adamadamadam]

Ah, yes. You've already seen the problem when you had your browser at a medium width. See how the cell breaks with the images within it? How do I do that? Right now my entire forum stretches rather than just that one cell.

So I found the info I need to remove:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

However, when I move this, all columns/rows that aren't headers (re: Forum Name, Replies, Posts, etc) are shifted over to replace that removed column. This results in the headers not reflecting the columns they should be representing properly.

I think you need to compare your style to the default style because on my forum, where the postbit and SHOWTHREAD templates are left basically default, if a large image is posted in one post, it only stretches that one post, not all of the forum. So, it sounds like you did some modification yourself which is causing the problem and you will have to figure it out by comparing the default postbit and SHOWTHREAD templates to yours.

You need to remove the column from the header also. And, if there is a row that stretches over all of the table and used to say, colspan=5, then you need to change it to colspan=4 (that is just an example, I can't remember if it is 5 or 6 that is default).

I found this thread. I'm not sure if it will help you or not: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=167347

Hey hey, I managed to get that column to delete! Woohoo! Thanks Lynne! I've another for you and your vB wizardry!

How would I remove the cells marked with the green X so that the orange outlined cells are moved to the left, under the titles?

I've tried looking through the the FORUMHOME template, and the WHOSONLINE template and can't find the right colspan= to edit

The ones I can manage to find and edit, effect the column titles "Currently Active Users" and "Polycount Statistics". Unfortunately, there's no colspan in between them. Any ideas? It was already recommended I try contacting the author - which I will do, but in the mean time I am hoping there's an easy'ish answer for this.

Thanks!

When you are unsure what template something is in, go to vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around the part of the code you are interested in.

[adamadamadam]

Ah sorry, I did that based on your previous recommendation to do so. I found the template (seemingly), yet any colspan I changed didn't effect that.

Fixed! Thanks for your help, Lynne!
