Post subject: Reducing Blue Pearl
I know there is a similar thread in the "old versions archive" but this is about version 1.3.0.53 and the Blue Pearl theme, I have changed the style_p_blue.css so that the global-wrapper is set to 980px, now everything works fine (so far) the only problem I have is that if I post an image over 660px wide a scroll bar comes on:-

661

is it possible so that the scroll bar only comes on if an image is greater than 750px

hope that makes sense ???

I have been looking in viewtopic_body.tpl but had no luck

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

any help would be fantastic

cheers

Nick

blue pearl is a full width theme isn't it or did you change it so it did not fill the whole of the users browsers window..

i ask because if you made no changes to the original then the image you posted should be fine...

also what are you settings for images in post in the ACP..

I have changed style_p_blue.css from this :-

Code: [Hide] [Select]
#global-wrapper {
/*
width: 980px !important;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
*/
}


to this:-

Code: [Hide] [Select]
#global-wrapper {
width: 980px !important;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
}


which makes the width 980px , now everything works fine, no problems at all it's just I would like to increase the size of the image before the scroll bar is used, at the moment it will show an image upto 660 but anything over that displays a scroll bar, I want to increase it so it shows an image upto 750 but anything over it then uses the scroll bar.

I have not changed anything in the ACP as I just want to increase the picture size before the scroll bars are displayed..........

hope that makes sense

you can see the width here

many thanks

Nick

Hi

This is using frozen icy as i do not have blue pearl installed but look for this in the blue pearl style sheet..

Code: [Hide] [Select]
.post-text-hide-flow {
max-width: 740px !important;
}

.post-text {
max-width: 740px !important;
}


if you cannot find that look for post-text.. and increase the max-width... and it should work..

let me know

Mike is right if you have overflow problems, but the images are not going to respect those rules.

Surely you must realise that if you reduce the width of your forum, then you MUST also change the dynamic reduction of the image to a width that is acceptable to the overall width of the forum. ?

For example: If you DON'T, and somehow compromise the system to handle the image you posted - Then when someone else posts a wider image - What then?

And IF - You had this image posted wherever you are having problems within the forum link that you posted.

And IF - You had the courtesy to provide a direct link to that problem, then these types of questions COULD be resolved a little more easily.

Some of us DO like to help, only your question is obscured by the fact that you propose it, and do very little else to provide anything to view the actual problem and to offer support for it.

harsh.... I have obviously not explained it well:-

If you look at these two posts I can post an image upto 660px wide but anything over that you get a scroll bar. my question is can I increase it so I can post an image upto 750px anything over that then you get a scroll bar..........

Dwho I did look in the css file

Code: [Hide] [Select]
.post-text-hide-flow


was not there post-text was but not on its own.

n1cks21, please, use spoilers when posting so large snips of code, in order to avoid making users that could look for other things in the thread have to scroll so much. Thanks in advance.

If you do not know what are spoilers, there is a example:

Spoiler: [ Show ]


And this is the bbcode you have to use (in fact I have copied the spoiler and the text inside):

Code: [Hide]
  1. [spoiler]Whatever you want[/spoiler] 


I am gonna edit your post this time, so you will se what am I refering to. Just try to use spoilers next time

@DWho: Sorry, I guess I have hijacked the thread you were ansering

I will just give it back to you

Don't worry, any of us commits fails that have to be fixed. Even I made a fail on the spanish IP board that made get a shiny yellow card, so yours is a minor fault

We shall not call the court for that little issue, nor jail you
