Customizing $stylevar?

Ken,
do you know whether it's kinda possible to overwrite the $stylevar and its value for Guests only? Guests have a different Forum view because my $stylevar value is currently at '0' (Picture 2) and for me the best view. But for Guests the view is kinda too wide (Picture 1).

Best would be for Guests: $stylevar['spacersize']= '25px'; and for Members: $stylevar['spacersize']= '0px';


So I tried in creating a seperate Plugin as follows...

Code:

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

But that way of Coding does not work. I have no clue what the cause can be, but this won't work. Did you ever figured out how (if ever) it works? Seems to be that the $stylevar cannot be changed. Or am I wrong? I've embedded 3 Pics of my Local Test Forum. Whenever you have a lil bit time would you please so kind to see, what's wrong?
Thank you in advance -Mike

vb edits this when it process the php and no of no way to over wright it - not much of a php coder

if i needed to do it would hard code it into the "spacer_open" template with a conditional.

assuming that the spacer is set at "0" this should work:
spacer_open

Code:

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

Yes that's right. Right now I found the answer in that Thread Custom StyleVars at vBCom. The answer like you said, is in Post #5. Never knew that but I still learn every day

Indeed there are some Templates I don't know. "spacer_open" or "spacer_close" are some of them. Not only that you're ahead of schedule, but that's exactly what I was looking for. And that works indeed
Thank you so much for your help, Ken

never a problem -- as i learn something every day.
vB has a lot of options, and conditionals is some times easier

just ask and will help out all i can, sharing what we know is good.

So I hope to get a chance to return the favor. Let's see...
