I spent the better part of 4 hours getting this skin to work properly with a full width format.

Shame on you!

In about 8 different places you had hard-coded the width of 761 pixels instead of using the built-in replacement variable $stylevar[outertablewidth].

Hard-coding instead of using a software supported replacement variable is the fastest way to make the skin non-upgradable, and it's lousy coding.

And at least one other skin you wrote is exactly the same way - hard coded instead of using the replacement variable.

The replacement variables are there for a reason and every skin "creator" should be using them!

4 hours I'll never see again...what a waste!

To make the changes to a full width style, you need to find every instance of "width=761px" and replace it with "width=100%".

You'll find several of them in the header and footer, but the main board width control will be found in the Additional CSS Definitions (WHY????).

Replace any 761px with 100% and you should be on track.

Actually,

I swear I had it working before and I did none of that. Actually I am not sure what I did. I could have made it a child style off of a wider style... I am not sure but anyways...

I tried changing all instances of 671 to 100% already. That was the first thing I tried....lol

I did not go into the css though so that must be my problem!!! Thanks!!! Honestly, I didn't think I would find the culprit there but I was getting close. I too have wasted time on this but it'll be sweet wide so it is worth it to me...

Thanks for the help!!!!!

Thanks!!!

Those additional CSS Definitions did the trick.... I would have pulled all my hair out looking for those....lol


Thanks again!!

I usually hardcode some widths then go back and change them later, must have forgotten with this one, my bad.

The reason why the other skin is the same is because it was a Child of this theme, so it inherited the values.

Glad you have it working lol

Thanks,

I have it working but I am having one small problem now. I haven't had time to investigate yet so maybe you can save me some time..

The right side border is not showing now and it appears that something is too wide. I am not sure if thats the problem....

The site is www.talkandmore.net

I believe I have to change some of those additional css definitions....




If anyone has a minute to take a lok it would help me much... :blaf:

Thanks

OK, What is happeneing is the orange bar.... The frame that goes around the outside edge of the site has not moved on the right side. It is still at 761 but I cannot find it. I have looked at the css to no avail.....

It can only be seen at certain times but idealy I would like it to display on the right side of the page.

It has to be in the css somewhere but I cannot find it.... Help..... vict:

Is anyone going to give me advice on finishing this? I am so close and I am using this as my main style...... Chris? Can you please help??

How did you code the frame or orange bar??? I am confused. Is the right hand orange bar part of the backround or a seperate image? Is it set at 761 for width or what??? If it is an image what is the name??????

I am so close.... Please help a bit..... just a bit


Anyone.... I have put many hours into this style and I really do not want to go back...

http://www.talkandmore.net/images/sk.../misc/wrap.gif is where it's at.
It's not the easiest of jobs to do for you, I set it as a background, not as a container, so the image is set to 761px. Not sure why I did this, must have been a reason though.
