Playing with different styles...

[Jason McConnell]

I'm trying to install my first custom style, called Hardwired. The forum display looks fine, and for the most part so does the portal. The body table is stretched all over the screen though, what should I do to fix this? Here's some screenshots... Basically what I want to know is specifically what templates to modify so that it's presented correctly. I'm pretty sure it's the vbadvanced-->adv_portal template, but I'm not sure. Any help you guys could give would be appreciated :D

I'm still learning myself..... now with that disclaimer in mind it looks like you want "Styles & Templates / Style Manager / Edit Templates / vBadvanced CMPS Templates / adv_portal_newsbits" and then changing the table width from 100% to a specified size. If you have any other modules in the middle column don't forget you'll need to change them also. :p

Hmm... It looks like you may need to edit your 'adv_portal' template and change the width of the main table in there to something other than 100%.

Allright, I think I got it. Well most of it anyway... can't figure out what to do about that navbar :eek: http://unifiedx.com

What about it?

[Jason McConnell]

It's stretched out across the screen and doesn't conform to the rest of the body tables on the portal, but is displaying correctly in the forum. Editing the navbar template made it even worse... so I'm hesitant to even go near it lol

Looks fine on my computer... Do you still see the problem when logged out?

In your vbAdvanced template replace:

$navbar

with

<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="36" align="left" valign="top" nowrap background="images/hardwired/misc/vborgmiddle_01.gif"><img src="images/hardwired/misc/vborgmiddle_01.gif" width="36" height="57" alt=""></td>
<td width="100%" valign="top">
$navbar
</td>
<td width="37" align="right" valign="top" nowrap background="images/hardwired/misc/vborgmiddle_03.gif"><img src="images/hardwired/misc/vborgmiddle_03.gif" width="37" height="57" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>


The hardwired style looks nice but the code behind it is a royal mess.

You are the man Wayne, thank you soooooo much :D

Nah... when I logged out it gave me a log out error and kicked me over to the default style. When I log back in it switches back and works just fine :confused:
