Fixed width problems with Photopostpro

[frapedopoulos]

I just installed a fixed with template and Im wondnering how can I get the forum display gallerymod to be in the same width as the fixed width template?

[Chuck S]

The forum display gallery mod? Have you tried posting in that specific modification's thread. if your using the inc_features file just edit that file and change the rows and number of photos to whatever supports the restrictive width your using.

[frapedopoulos]

You mean even if I just installed the template? If I do that wont it affect the other templates look aswell? I just want to fix it in my one fixed width template the rest are fluid.

[Chuck S]

what are you talking about though what mod? There are tons of photo block mods is it ours or some other mod someone else wrote?

If it is our mod thats all I can tell you because your thumbnails are a fixed width and if your using a real small width that table is 100% so it will shrink or expand how it needs to. So your issue is your displaying too many thumbnails to fit into your forum index

It is your mod.

My question is if I set the width for it on my fixed width template which is smaller than my other templates wont that affect the rest of the templates which are fluid? If not where and how can make it so it fits in perfect? Thanks

Like I stated you can adjust the thumbnails and columns to suit your need. a width of 100% resizes if it can and there is nothing else you can do than alter the number of thumbnails across to make it smaller

You didnt answer my question though with me altering the width of the columns on my fixed width template will it affect my fluid with templates?

[Chuck S]

From what I am seeing here I have answered the the question a couple times here.

We dont have anything to do with any vb templates so I am not sure what your asking here about your templates.

You are free to use the modification as it is written as that is how we support it. If your using a fixed width template you want to edit our file and reduce the number of photos that show across so it doesnt break your width. These are the lines your looking for in inc-features.php

By me coding that it will affect my other forum templates which are not fixed width. So I guess their is no way to fix this. Maybe you guys on a new upgrade can add something like that to be able adjust the widths on different templates.

[Chuck S]

I guess your not understanding me here. Adjusting the number of thumbnails is not going to break a large width. Your issue is that your using small table width and then trying to cram in 4 thumbnails across the display. You have yet to provide a link so I can not say more about your specific site but there is no way to counter a restrictive width other than as I have described in limiting the display to not display as many thumbnails

[frapedopoulos]

Ok Ill figure it out. How can I make my photos like the ones you have on the bottom of the forum page show like that? Where would I and what do I need to edit if you dont mind. Thanks

In the instructions here where it says type2 and place $photopostcats instead put $photopostfeature

vB TEMPLATE ADDITIONS
=====================

1) In your vB templates, select Forum Home Templates and edit the FORUMHOME template.

To include the PhotoPost "features" box, add the variable $photopostfeature to your template:

$header
$navbar
$photopostfeature

This places the feature at the top of the forum (as done on our site).

TYPE 1
------
1) Down lower, to add your gallery section, add the $photopostcats variable under your Main section:

<!-- /main -->
<br />
$photopostcats
<br />

You can also place the $photopostfeature above the $photopostcats if you wish to move your features to just above the gallery section.

TYPE 2
------
1) Down lower, to add your galleries into your forum table, add $photopostcats under the $forumbits variable:

Code:

$forumbits

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tfoot" align="center" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><div class="smallfont"><strong>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
&nbsp; &nbsp;
<a href="showgroups.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a>
</strong></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- /main -->

<br />
$photopostcats

Then click SAVE and your Forum Index should be displaying your PhotoPost galleries on your forums!

What I actually meant was to be able display the pictures the way they are displayed here on your forum. They are small with no black around the images. Mine look terrible if you want look here http://greekrealm.com/forum

[Chuck S]

Your black bands seem to come from your photos. Not all your thumbs have black bands

[frapedopoulos]

Is their a way to fix that on my part? Anything I have to specifically do?

[Chuck S]

I cant say clearly some photos you upload have borders around them others do not.

[frapedopoulos]

Is their a way to do it so they dont come out with borders? The borders I chose by default where suppose to be white I dont know why they come out black anyways.
