Icy Phoenix

I'm using Frozen Phoenix For PhpBB 3 on my testboard. I moved the profile to the left side using Tutorial #2. All works well. The profile avartar will be 250px width.

I want a fixed poster profile block with a fluid with on the rest of the board.

Any idea how I can do this?

If you mean something like this:

style width: 250px (For the profile) and the rest width: 75%

It aint going to work.

Either both need to be fixed widths or component parts of 100%

That is what I mean:

style width: 250px (For the profile) and the rest fluid width.

Now the profile block gets messed up.


The whole template should fluid and the profile block should be fixed.

Then you will probably have to combine div's and spans, or maybe even use blocks and float the blocks left and right.

You could also try the user block @ 12% or something like that with min- and max- widths markup - plus !important;

We can adjust your markup on-line (live) to see what the problem is or what the best result would be.

But I'm not even sure if the template in question uses div's or tables. And seeing that you can't be bothered to include a link to it in your posts, I guess I'll never know.

Yesterday i tried this: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=694305
But it got all mixed up. I'll have an other try at it this week.

Have you considered all of the problems that you are creating for yourself by wanting to change the layout of the template?

If you ever want to add MODS that use either of those fields, then they are not going to install in the way they were designed to.

phpBB3 is bad enough with both its template system and the way it installs MODS with AutoMod etc, and you're going to make it even worse. Other than that - you will need to have the expertise to adjust any mods to suit your own "New" style, as you will probably get very little help from MOD-Writers to overcome any of the problems you've created for yourself by diverting from the default layout.

Just thought I'd mention that! Because (Assuming that you will at one time want to install some MODS) you are going to have to learn a whole lot more programming stuff other than just changing the markup you're doing at the moment. :mryellow:

I'm aware of that! I think I leave it as it is. I found an image-resizer that works pretty well.
We use 250px width avatars so 800x600 pictures in posts are being cut off but the resizer works like a charm and scales the image.

I thought that I read somewhere that there was a HighSlider MOD for phpBB3, and if I'm right - and it actually uses the HS functions and js as HS intended it to be used - Then that's the way I would go - All pics in posts would be thumbnails -> and be Expandable?

To be honest - I don't know a lot about phpBB or what mods are good, available and what's not - because I don't particularly like it.

But that's me! ;)

I use ReIMG Image Resizer, it scales my images to 640 width. It uses litebox to scale the images

So I assume that it would be safe to say that "You don't need any more help with this"?

:mrblue:

That's right :LOL:

Unless someone has a great idea!

A new question:

How can I get a non-fixed width on the forum :?:

forum index works
topic index is with a fixed width
not all topic pages work, soem fluid, others are fixed

i think , that depends on the posted images.

if the image is to big, it stretches the width

A new question:

Then open a new thread!

Because one would be guessing if you are talking about the same theme as the topic of this thread.

And please try to add some better information - Snapshots of what you have or trying to do if possible. And most of all a link to your "Hidden/Secret" forum.

:roll:

it's really a "must" IMHO to limit the max size for avatars and other images that can be added by any user to avoid these images to do damage to the layout (in ACP) :wink:

PS.. and what mort says: please more info, screenshots and url :mrorange: (and one question in one thread would be lovely too)
